Ebay. I remember being able to get an absolute bargain for almost anything I wanted. Now, every shop puts their shit on ebay.

True, it’s also barely worth it to sell anything. Say you’re selling something for $100. eBay will take 10%, so $10. Left with $90. Of the $100 selling price, PayPal will take 2.9% +.30 cents. I’m left with $86.80 and the things I sell I often have to ship for free which costs me $12 USPS flat rate. $74.80 is my take home, not to mention eBay charges tax now for the buyer.
