Tim and I just bought a van off e-bay last night. We have been watching several and this one really seems to be a good fit. We plan on keeping it at least 5 years and hopefully more so we should be in good shape.
The van we have right now is actually one we bought of e-bay several years ago. I was in a wreck and totalled our van. They didn't give us much to replace it with and we didn't have any saved for buying a car so we were stuck. We got one off e-bay and it has worked just fine. When we got it though it was close to 100k miles and we tend to put close to 20k a year on so it is starting to get up there. It is really strange though to buy a van and have to only take the seller's word for the condition! We are trusting that they have been honest and that God was with us during this decision. We actually bid $500 more than we wanted but they wouldn't take our first bid. We only pay cash for things so we didn't want to go too high. Thankfully we have that extra money saved. (Dave Ramsey is such a smart guy!)
Anyway, I started this post because Emma saw the e-bay watch list that had all the vans we have been watching over the past week. She was scrolling down and noticed that there was a boat listed that "you can sleep in". Guess what!?! I checked my e-mail and there is a bid confirmation!!!!!!!!!! Thankfully she only bid $100.01 but oh what a mess this could have been! I don't think think she knew what she was doing but I guess I will be having a little talk with her about e-bay.
Here is the boat she was bidding on: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200211816289&ssPageName=STRK:MEBI:IT&ih=010
