CHALLENGE!!!: I've got €27 on my PayPal account. What will I buy off Ebay?

Dave! · 2006-05-21 18:13:36

Hey folks, 2nd thread of the day, but this one is infinitely more satisfying for me! Right so I've got €27 on my PayPal account and I fear something will go wrong with my 3V voucher and I'll lose it (cos it's nearly expired).

Hey folks,

2nd thread of the day, but this one is infinitely more satisfying for me!

Right so I've got €27 on my PayPal account and I fear something will go wrong with my 3V voucher and I'll lose it (cos it's nearly expired). As far as I know the money is saved in PayPal, but I don't wanna take the chance, and I've never bought anything off Ebay, so this can be a little experiment.

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it (assuming you are sufficiently bored), is to browse around on Ebay for really cheap things that I can buy and that will be delivered to Ireland, and that I won't end up having to sell a kidney to pay for the delivery for!

People who get good finds will be given a generous prize!
My eternal gratitude!

Anybody up for it? Ready... set... not yet... not yet... GO!!!
