Give Me Five Monday

The 'Give Me Five' Monday meme is designed to share fun information with each other in a simple short list! Here's how it works. Each week, I will put out a random topic from my list of topics and you share 5 answers of your choice on the given topic and link back here! You can add photos, links or stories or just a simple list of your own of 5 things that relate to the topic as it pertains to you and your life experiences. It doesn't have to be in any order of importance unless otherwise specified. Sign up for weekly reminder emails @ beccagirl@charter.net


Our mission this week: Give Me Five 'favorite searches' on Ebay (for shopping or browsing or any other ideas not selling related)!

1. Antiquarian & Collectible. If you like collecting vintage books then this is the place to visit. They have books dating Pre-1700 to present.

2. Art is another favorite. You can find Digital Art, Drawings, Folk Art, Mixed Media, Paintings, Photographic Images, Posters and Prints to name a few. You can view from Pre-1800 to present. If you haven't visited you really should. One of my favorites is The Luncheon by Claude Monet.

3. Home and Garden is another favorite. You can find absolutely everything here from bedding and bath to furniture to cookware. There's a great section on Food and Wine that has everything, including food coupons. They didn't leave the outdoor things out either. There's a Gardening and Plants section as well as Outdoor Power Equipment and Patio and Grilling supplies. It also has a great Pet Supplies section.

4. Another place I like to visit is Consumer Electronics. Wow, it is packed with thing like MP3 Players, GPS, Home Audio, Car Electronics, and DVD and Home Theater, just to name a few. It's a geeks paradise.

5. Computers and Networking is my last entry for this week. I love to stay on top of what's out there to aid my addition to blogging. They have everything here too from Macs to PC's. Laptops and Notebooks, and Monitors and Projectors. Everything related to computers you'll find somewhere in this section.

You know, I have never just browsed an entire category like that! I tend to be very specific when I do searches. I think maybe it's because I have such limited time online and want to spend it focused on what I am interested in...although, I do like finding new things! Great post, Sandee!!!

Those are some really great idea for ebay searches. Before I knew about blogging, I spent a lot of time searching around the internet (mostly out of boredom). But now it's like all I do is read people's blogs! But, it's actually a lot more fun anyway! Enjoyed your post!

Ebay is great for essentials, that are not so cheap in regular stores. Ive got cheap batteries and hoover belts much cheaper there! Always worth a first look.
