[...] 1.) I won an auction on eBay for Mega Bloks! I was so excited. I’m paying more for them than I would ever spend at a garage sale…but my son just loves the blocks he has and there isn’t quite enough for mom and dad to make something too. [...]

I’ve had the same problem with toys I’m looking at on eBay. I did end up buying a couple of things from Toys R Us online because using Google Checkout allowed me to save $10. Amazon is good for the free shipping too.

http://www.fatfingers.com and http://www.honesty.com are two web sites that are said to search eBay for your desired item with quite a few spelling mistakes. I personally haven’t used it, but did a small search on Diamond and was surprised with some of the missspellings.

Good luck.

I concur with the looking for the free shipping deals at walmart or amazon. Ebay sellers often charge hefty shipping and it’s hard to sort through everything. Just a little bias of mine, I find that people with the highest feedback levels have better shipping rates, more in line with what it really costs. Good luck.

Hi Tricia,

I know this dilemma well! I like to surf around to the big toy store sites and other big merchandisers to look for free shipping deals. Sometimes they offer free shipping on specific items or brands or sometimes there is a minimum purchase requirement to qualify for a free shipping offer. I like http://www.walmart.com because they have a lot of items with $0.97 shipping.

I also try to check http://www.currentcodes.com when I am considering an online purchase. I have found useful coupon codes for various websites on there in the past. I have been checking the big black friday site http://www.gottadeal.com/ because if the the deal is really really good, the shipping cost doesnt matter as much to me.

You are a very saavy shopper and probably already knew of my cyber shopping strategies, but I thought I would share anyway
