I love a bargain be it due to idiot sellers listing things wrong, no paypal, items ending on US holidays etc or just things that slip by. You pay and hope the seller actually ships it.
So whats your biggest eBay bargain you have had??
Mr Russell I bought the other month for $200US and a similar one graded LESS by SGC sold for $525 US without shilling I might add is up there with my best. Had a few others where the seller didn't know what he really had and I win at some incredibly low price.
Sometimes its just a $10 card you get for 99 cents etc.
So what have you pulled off in your time on eBay??
i havent had any major steals, just lots of little ones. lately, ive picked up my mailman patch for about $40US inc postage, and it books at $100US. i picked up a sweet shot drexler auto for $8US the other day, was quite pleased with that.
My best steal would probably be when i bought an Amare mvp rookie gold parallel #/100 for $25AU, books at $100US.
I don't remember exactly what I paid for it but it was under $5. It has a good book value but I was most happy because I had wanted one since they came out in 1991. I still want to get a nique one.

Also the Bogut GU I got today, #'d to 125, was only $5.75. Unsure of the BV, but given last years values, and other Bogey's, I believe it would've been a steal.
Got my Pierce Unnumbered 1/1 Ionix RC For $11 US + Shipping
Got my Vince Carter /100 Ionix RC For $60 US dlvd, they commonly go for $200+
Got 4 of my Jordan Ionix HoloGRFX 1:1500 inserts for $23.50 US each, they rarely go for under $60 US.
Got my BGS9 Stojakovic Ionix RC for $23, an ungraded one sold the other day for $51
Have had stacks more, but not on cards I really care about.
03-04 Exquisite Quad patch Iverson and LBJ. Bought them both for $2600 on ebay and flipped them for $4200 2 days later.
Wade Ultimate BGS9.5 /200 bought for $350 (bad title, normally selling for around the $500 mark)... held onto it and when he got to the playoffs, sold for $950.
Me celebrated.
Also my share of hard luckers. Let's not discuss Ndudi Ebi right now.
Not sure if you guys will think this is a "Steal" or not - but I do
Anyways I bought a Chris Duhon Tripple Black Diamond Rookie Card #20/25 of this guy in the USA........rather than just buy the one card of him I thought I would save a bit on postage and combine two lots and ended up with this as well:
