I bid on it on ebay and got it for $20.00!
I can't believe it! It's an RCA digital video camera! Crazy, huh?

I think it will. The guy has over 2000 responses with 98.5% positive. Plus I'm using my credit card so if it doesn't go well I have some protection.

Cool, how do you actually win on ebay? I always get outbid at the last second. Very frustrating. The only thing I ever won was a piece of vintage art glass (I collect) and it turned out to be hideous when I got it.

Wow that sounds too good to be true! I really want a camcorder but I haven't started looking at them yet, I figured they'd all be rather expensive but maybe I should check out ebay lol! Definitely let us know how it works when you get it!!

You have to be online at the last minute when the item is closing. It's quite the popular tactic for people to come in and outbid in the closing minutes.

P.S. What a deal, majazz2u!

Unfortunately I seem to be at work when the item ends and my company has soo many security controls that I can't get on ebay, I can't even get on the cat site either!

Congrats on the camcorder! I've spent more than that, on some of the My Little Ponies I've purchased.

Unfortunately for me, I've learned how to bid and sometimes win on ebay. Just today, I won another My Little Pony. (I'm a collecter). About a week ago, I won a rare My Little Pony from the United Kingdom. It ended up costing me $50, which was a good price for a Mint with Package Pony, but still a lot for a little piece of plastic. Here's a picture of my win today.

Hope, I want to see the $50 one! I think they're cute and a nice collection to have. Did you just love them as a kid?

Here's my $50 Pony. His name is Tex. He's part of the Big Brother series of My Little Pony from 1987. Just the day before I won this boy, I tried to bid on another Tex, and he went for $70. I think I got him cheaper because he was from the UK. I know that Big Brother Ponies with their hats and bandana's go for more, and this boy still had his original card and packaging. I actually got him for a great price.

I always love the My Little Ponies and I started collecting them in the 1980's. I had all of the Big Brothers, plus a huge selection of the regular girl ponies. I had about 100 ponies, then in the early 90's I had to sell my entire collection. It broke my heart. Now I'm trying to get them back, again.

Anyway, here's Tex! Isn't he adorable?
