How to snag items on ebay for $1 or less

Posted on February 20, 2018

ebay-logoEvery day thousands of ebay auctions end without receiving a single bid, and many of these auctions are for valuable items that have a starting bid of $1 or less.

Why so low? Because lots of ebay sellers like to start their auctions off with a ridiculously low price with the hope that a bidding war will ensue and drive the price way above the item’s actual value.

Sometimes this strategy works, and sometimes it doesn’t. It’s a gamble, and the sellers know it. That’s why you shouldn’t feel guilty if you end up snagging a $50 item for 50 cents.

It’s no secret that using multiple monitors with your computer greatly enhances the user experience and boosts productivity.

For example, you can use your primary display for your essential tasks while your email and other tangential apps are running on one or more side monitors where they are out of the way, yet always in view and ready to use when you need them.

The biggest drawbacks to installing additional monitors have always been the need to have multiple video ports on your PC and the complexity involved with setting everything up in Windows or OS X. But thanks to the wonderful world of USB, that is no longer the case.  [Read more…]

facebook-pirateNote: Facebook has removed the “English (Pirate)” option from the list of supported languages, rendering this post moot.
