EBay is a great place to pick up used autos and boats. When the economy was sour a couple of years ago, dealers were auctioning off brand new cars and trucks!

My GF bought a used 2000 Mercedes SL convertible with only 60K miles on it for half the NADA price. We had to drive to Canada to get it. Been two years with no problems.

I bought a 2001 Jeep Cherokee with only 60K for only 9K. Had it for year with no problems. Funny thing with this purchase, the jeep was located in Laconia!

Four years ago I bought a 1988 Formula F223 LS at a third of the NADA price. The 9 hour drive to Maryland wasn't bad. I had a chance to boat the Potomac River. Again, no problem with the boat.

With EBay, you have to be patient, know the value of you purchase, srt a limit on how much you want to bid. EBay and Paypal will guarantee your purchase. There are some sweet deals out there!
