trolling ebay
Posted by Mackenzie on Tuesday, July 11, 2006
I'm hoping to make "Trolling eBay" a weekly feature, where I aim to seek out the tastiest vintage jewelry, vintage dresses, vintage handbags, and other wedding appropriate items to be had in the vast ebay expanse.
I'm going to insert a little caveat here, and say that I don't think it's a great idea to buy diamonds or other very expensive items on ebay. I'm a firm believer in the "you get what you pay for" school of shopping, and will not be pointing you in the direction of any 99 cent "diamond" rings. Too risky. So without further adooo-

Amen on Ebay loveliness--it is possible to get good stuff from Ebay, but one must be careful. My husband actually purchased my (vintage) engagement ring from there, but only after much careful research and deliberation. It was later appraised for $1000 more than he paid for it. So, moral of the story is, you get what you pay for, I suppose.
Wow! What a gorgeous ring! Kudos to your husband for his excellent taste and bargain hunting skills.
Makes me wish I had time to scope out all the true gems on eBay, alas...
I was intrigued to find that many brides are buying new wedding dresses from eBay’s online wedding store at discount prices. As a response I created 10 tips to ensure brides go into this with the eyes wide open and save money on their dress.
Great blog Mackenzie - I have your feed in my Bloglines account and try to read all your posts.
