eBay has long outgrown its original premise of being essentially an online flea market, on which people sold random used stuff or homemade knick knacks. It is now an online powerhouse for both new and used everything, and is serious contender with online shopping sites of all kinds (even Amazon) for both used and new merchandise alike. It is very common for eBay to have the lowest price on any given product. Often times, you can even get lucky and stumble upon stupidly cheap prices.
