It’s time to roll out my newest website… Shopping Bloodhound<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 The bloodhound tracks great deals on eBay’s auctions and “Buy It Now” sales for brands in clothing, shoes, and watches.<\/p>\n

For clothing and shoes, I tried to list brands that are either hard to find locally, or that sell for extraordinarily high prices at local boutiques and can be found for a lot less on eBay.\u00a0 Over the past year I’ve bought a few Robert Graham shirts, which sell for $198-238 locally, for $50-70 on eBay.<\/p>\n

For watches, I tried to pick brands that are collectors’ items and whose offerings tend to change from year to year, and from clothing makers who also have watch lines.\u00a0 About five years ago, I bought my current watch (pictured below) for $40 on eBay.\u00a0 The retail price was $189, so it’s possible to save some considerable money.<\/p>\n

I definitely plan on adding more brands to each category, and possibly expanding beyond shoes, clothing, and watches.\u00a0 This is a site that will expand as the year goes on, so feel free to bookmark it and check back.<\/p>\n

I got the idea for this site after adding some eBay links to Tube Top Boutique<\/a> a couple of months ago.\u00a0 In January they made me an extra $30.\u00a0 Not exactly a down payment on a new condo, but it made me realize that an all-eBay site was worth building.<\/p>\n

If you know of particular brands that you would like the bloodhound to track, shoot me an e-mail at paul@paulryburn.com and I’ll see about adding them.<\/p>\n
