OK.
I would like to show you how much fun you can get by playing with eBay.
Instead of telling you how to use it,
I might as well just show you how to play around with it.
Let’s see what stuff we can get on eBay..
Let us start to look for Binocular…. my favorite Big Boy’s toy.
First of all, click this –> www .eBay.com
Type BINOCULAR as search keyword and click search !
You will get too many results. So you need to choose the right category for your stuff.
Click Cameras & Photo > Binoculars > Binoculars & Telescopes
Now the fun has begun. Look at its price and description. Awesome right?
There are cool Binoculars selling at 1000 USD
and some of the cool stuffs can be bought for 1 USD
Alright, let’s just go to the bottom end of the prices and see what we can find.
At right hand side you can see a bar : sort by (Time : Ending soonest)
simply change the sorting to (Price : lowest first)
Now the item list is refreshed and there are all the “cheap” toys
Price : Lower End
1)
Binoculars 20x70 ruby lens new high powered & Quality N

Alright. You can see that the seller sells a lot of this bebe for just 0.01 USD
It is a super value buy since it worth much more than 1 cent.
just look at its description.
Finish Color: Black
Includes: Caring Case, Neck Strap & Lens Cleaner
1. Magnification: 20 X
2. Objective Diameter in mm: 70 mm
3. Field of View @ 1,000 yards: 261 ft.
4. Angle of View: 4.8 Degrees
5. Lens Coating: Ruby lens
6. Multi-Coated Lenses: Yes
7. Rubber Armored: Yes
can this seller be trusted?
Just click the seller’s profile and view the seller’s FeedBack.
Normally PowerSellers like this guy is able to sell good stuffs at super low price.
*Note : It is cheap but you have to observe the shipping cost.
For this toy it is only shipped to USA. So if you are not living in USA,
You might not be able to get this bebe.
Let’s move on to the next Binocular,
which is also sold at one cent…
2)
Red Army Badge Powerful Compact Binoculars 30 X 40 New

This is another cool Binocular. Maybe it is not as good as the first one but it is still a super value buy.
The good news is,
It can be sent to Malaysia… as the seller ships his stuffs internationally.
Since the international shipping cost is not mentioned,
You have to ask the seller how much it costs.
Normally shipping fees to Malaysia is cheaper than shipping fees to Europe.
OK, now let’s move on to the top price end and see what goodies we can find !
Price : Top End
“Israel Defense NIKON Golan Heights 20x120 binoculars”

Alright. This is kinda overprice : US $4,999.99
One thing you must know about the pricing on eBay : It doesn’t makes sense.
Sometimes good stuffs are sold at super low price and some rubbish worth Millions of Dollars.
For this bebe it is described in detailed and the seller is very strict with his bidding.
* * * * * * * * * *
* Coated optics including Full Focusing Eyepieces
* Hermetically Sealed Construction
* Dazzling Brightness
* Magnification: 20 X
* Objective Lens Diameter: 120 mm
You will appreciate that for their 20x magnification, a tank unit 20 miles away appears like one just a mile away.
The field of view is magnificent; bright, wide, and crystal clear … even in dim and low ambient light. All of these IDF units have been inspected and fully reconditioned, and we have also included a supportive yoke. This allows the binoculars to be mounted via pedestal or tripod.
* * * * * * * * * *
In my opinion I do not think this is a value buy,
unless you are a rich soldier.
There are a few more Binoculars priced beyond 1000 USD.
I think I do not need to show them here as they are more or less the same like the first one.
Now let’s make this thing more interesting by entering special keywords…
let’s just enter BINOCULAR NIGHTVISION as search keywords :
This is what you will get :
Interesting Stuffs
Too bad there are not much choice today.
I got one night vision priced at USD 0.01
another one is priced at US $188.95
which looks like this

That’s all for today.
I hope you guys have fun on eBay.
I shall show you more interesting stuffs on eBay on next episode.
Chao !
Interesting site!
