Why only buy on Ebay if you have a limited budget?

Everyone likes a bargain so if search and take time to look you will find them,i have a bought a brand new Milenco double step

To be honest I've not found eBay that much cheaper for new stuff regarding caravanning especially when you factor in the postage costs although you can get it cheaper secondhand.

That's not to say eBay isn't any good because I've had some excellent bargains like a top spec (at the time)laptop and Fuji S9500 camera.

I purchased both my caravan and classic car (a 55 Hillman convertible) off e-bay. I think you just have to be a bit careful and check the legitimacy of your prospective purchases. We looked at several caravans that appeared 'iffy' before we found our current one which was well below dealer prices and 100% genuine. Interestingly we have today been looking at dealers with a view to upgrading and have been offered a grand less for our van than we paid for it nearly five years ago, I'm quite pleased with that.

I think you have to be careful sometimes and check prices because they are not always the bargains you are led to believe they are, certainly a lot of the Hillman spares on the bay are hugely inflated.

There is nothing wrong with E-Bay as long as you re-search things before you get into a bidding war....I got a wonderful bargain when i bought my van from on there....
