Chris CountsI once paid $90 for about 25 Diamond Stars with nice corners and a half dozen HOFers. Curiously, they were advertised as trimmed, and I still thought they were worth the price. It turned out they weren't trimmed and when I had several graded, they came in at 6s and even a 7.
I once bought 1955 Bowmans of Kaline, Rizzuto and Campanella in Ex-Mt for a $1.99 BIN each. The seller sent me an email admitting that he intended the $1.99 figure as a minimum bid, not a BIN. Without any prompting on my part (I never expected to actually see the cards in my hand), he offered me one of my choice (I picked Kaline) at $1.99 and I happily accepted.
These are just the best of many nice deals I have found on eBay. If anybody ever claims the days of great deals are over, they're not paying attention. I am constantly amazed by what I find out there ...
