Shop: Buying (Tips) in installments

A friend of mine is always saying that I should share my tips for shopping, particularly with eBay. I probably shouldn't be this proud of myself for something so shallow & consumerist, but I love that I am a savvy shopper. I like the hunt, doing research and scouring for the best deal. Instead of preparing a lengthy post on my eBay tips, I will add tips to my blog on a regular basis and hope I don't contradict myself too much.
