Bought It On eBay

eBay used to be one of my favorite websites.  It was the world’s garage sale where you could buy a vintage Boba Fett in mint condition for $8 and pay $1 for shipping.  Now it’s where you can buy a wall plate that has television components on it for $35 and pay $8 shipping.  Where have the deals gone?

Actually, I got a pretty good deal on my TV wall plates.  I got two of them for a total of $60 which isn’t too bad considering I found them at numerous online retailers for well over $100 each.  The thing that I hate is the fact that in order to get the good deal that I did, I had to pay for enormous shipping charges.  $13 to send two wall plates that probably weigh a total of half a pound combined is ridiculous.
