Toys R Us and Babies R Us are now running, essentially, an outlet store on eBay Canada.

• Click here to shop Toys R Us on eBay Canada

They make shopping for toys pretty easy actually. You can input:

• Age
• Gender
• Budget

… and it will narrow down a bunch of toys for you. I selected a 2 year old boy, and my price range was a max of $20. One of the options given is this wicked TONKA CHUCK & FRIENDS Playmat with ROWDY THE GARBAGE TRUCK Die Cast Vehicle! Pretty sweet set for only $14.98 (with $7.26 shipping).

Some items have free shipping, you can check them all out here.

This is an excellent place to get cheaper toys, and with Christmas coming up I know that is pretty important!

If you have a vehicle that is just sitting, or one you perhaps don’t use in the winter… protection is necessary to prolong the life of the vehicle. If you don’t have the garage space, getting a vehicle cover is a very good idea. Auto Armour Car covers on eBay has an excellent selection of vehicle covers at good prices.

• Click here to shop @ Auto Armour Car Covers

You can choose from different levels of protection. Some covers are water resistant, others are waterproof. Some have several cotton layers, others have none. It really depends on where you are storing the vehicle and the elements it will be exposed to.

A level 7 cover for most vehicles is just under $100… with just under $40 shipping. These aren’t your generic car covers, they are semi-custom. That means they are curved to the shape of your vehicle and will do a better job at keeping it safe. A 4-layer car cover starts at just $80 (including shipping). These are superior to your generic car covers from your regular automotive place, and are a great alternative to paying full price for a cover from your vehicle’s dealer.

Covers will help keep the elements off your vehicle and reduce fading, as well as delay rust.

All prices in USD. These guys have sold a LOT of covers, and have excellent ratings. That is probably due to their warranty and 365 day money back guarantee!

If any of our Moosers know other places to get good priced vehicle covers, drop us a line!

Get your scare on with the Scream Complete Collection including Mask! Get all 4 movies on DVD and the mask for only $29.99.

• Click here to Scream your head off

This collection was released in 2011, and is the Canadian Edition so no issues with region. They are brand new sets, never opened, and include 4 disks as shown above.

Shipping across Canada is free.

I have never seen these movies, as I am really not into horror (except Hannibal). So I can’t say whether they are good, bad, or ugly. However, the addition of the mask is pretty cool… especially because Halloween is coming up.

There is one electronic accessory I have not got my hands on yet: a way to charge my usb dependant electronics on the go. Enter eBay: there is a deal on right now for a 2-pack of USB car chargers for only $4.99, with free shipping!

I like to listen to my own music on road trips, but iPad batteries only last so many hours. This charger makes it easy to plug in and charge while on the go.

About:

Note: a USB cord is not included. Use your own. The product ships from the US, but there will be no duty unless you order of $20 worth!

There are 122 still available.

SkullCandy on eBay has a great deal on some sweet earbuds. Pick up a pair of Skullcandy Ink’d In Earbuds with Mic for only $14.99. The Skullcandy website has the same type listed starting at $29.99, so a good deal.

eBay Canada is having a promotion where you can list your items at a fixed price, instead of auction style, for free. Usually this costs 50 cents per listing to do. If you are an eBay seller, this is a golden opportunity for you. If you are just a regular eBayer needing to purge the ol’ closet, take advantage!

• Click here to list your items @ eBay Canada

I like this promo because it encourages me to list things that I have had sitting in my shelves for ages… that are in mint, or near mint condition. Just last night I took a 1/2 hr and listed some Puma Sergio Rossi high heel lace ups I have had sitting in their dust bag in my closet for a while. I love the shoes to death, but cannot walk in a 4.5″ heel to save my life.

Though the fixed price insertion fee is usually only 50 cents, if you are listing multiple items, which can add up. Also, if you are going to sell items on eBay, here are a few tips:

• Provide good pictures, and an accurate descriptions
• Make sure to price out shipping before deciding on a shipping cost
• Ensure your return policies are clear
• I highly suggest working tracking and insurance into your shipping price, to cover yourself and the buyer

The free Fixed Price excludes 30-day and GTC listings. I went for a 10-day listing myself.

Expiry: 18th, August 2012

This is an astronomically good price if you need batteries. Get a 24 pack of FUJI Enviromax Digital Alkaline Batteries in your choice of AA or AAA for only $14.99 with free shipping!

• Click here to get the 24-pack of Fuji Batteries

The batteries expire in 2016, so plenty of time to use them. I like that the AA and the AAA are the sale price, often you pay more for AAA batteries. These also ship from within Canada so no fear of duty or customs. You can buy as many as you want.

Note: HST or GST will be charged.

I love shopping eBay because you can find some really great deals. If you aren’t a eBay fanatic, just try checking out their ‘The Big Deal‘ section.

Expiry: Unknown

Sellers who list Auction-style from July 11 to 17, 2012, will pay no insertion fees per item listed for up to 50,000 listings in the Auction-style format. The Buy It Now option may also be added to these listings for free.

• Click here to see this promotion @ eBay

This is great if you are a big seller because usually you only get 50 free insertion fees a month. However, this is also good for the occasional seller as you can add a “Buy It Now” option for free. The insertion fee is usually $0.10 up to $2 so on a few listings you are saving some good money. The buy it now option is usually $0.05 to $0.25. In the long run, all those can add up.

Selling stuff on eBay is an excellent alternative to Kijiji. You can sell your good – condition items that are worth a bit. Thus you can clean out your house and get some money for it.

Because of this promotion I just listed a tote I have never used: primarily because the drop for the handles was too small for my liking. I put it on a 7 day auction and am pretty excited about clearing it out of my closet and getting some cash to reinvest in my wardrobe, or to stick in a savings account. Because of the promo I paid only 65 cents for listing my item, because I went for the designer, the subtitle, and the ability to enlarge my pictures. I am planning on listing some more stuff before the promo ends.

Expiry: 17th, July 2012

The other day, I mentioned the Breville authorized clearance outlet, and noted a few of the deals in there. This post is to let you know about the Cuisinart outlet, another very popular brand, and it’s managed by the same retail group.

• Click here to shop the Cuisinart store @ eBay now

Here are some of the current deals on the outlet:

• Gourmet Keurig Brewing System SS-700C for $149.99 (regular price when new: $249.99)
• Automatic Burr Grind & Brew Thermal 12 Cup Coffee Maker DGB-900BCC for $109.99 (regular price when new: $229.99)
• 1000 Watt Juice Extractor CJE-1000C for $99.99 (regular price when new: $199.99)
• Stainless Steel Convection Bread Maker CBK-200C for $74.99 (regular price when new: $169.99)
• Brew Central Thermal 12 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker DCC-2400C for $69.99 (regular price when new: $149.99)
• Brew Central 14 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker DCC-2600C for $59.99 (regular price when new: $129.99)

Shipping is extra for each item, and it depends where you are located in Canada. For example, I price compared the first item in the list, the SS-700C. On the clearance outlet, you’d pay about $170 including shipping – this item is $200 on Amazon. So, it’s worth price comparing the items and seeing how good a deal you can find.

For all of the above items, the “was” price is how much you would pay to buy the item brand new. All the above items are refurbished to a high standard, and come with a 30 day money-back guarantee. Cuisinart items come with a 3 month manufacturer warranty. On the Breville post, Bargainmooser Andrea said that she made a purchase last year, and had a small problem when it arrived. The company sent her a new machine and arranged the return at no cost – perfect customer service.

A couple of months ago, Avigayil mentioned a great deal on eBay, from the T-fal authorized clearance outlet. The store owners have recently contacted us to let us know that they operate clearance outlets for a couple of other top brands too, and they’re running deals on these products on eBay. One such is the Breville Canada clearance store.

• Click here to shop the Breville Clearance Outlet @ eBay now

So, if you have a look on the Breville eBay outlet for example, here are a few of the deals:

• Juice Fountain Compact BJE200XL was $149.99 now $54.99
• Ikon Multi-Speed Juice Fountain BJE510XL was $269.99 now $129.99
• Custom Loaf Bread Maker BBM800XL was $329.99 now $159.99
• Café Roma Espresso Maker ESP8XL was $199.99 now $99.99
• Die-Cast Programmable Espresso Maker BES800XL was $369.99 now $184.99
• Smart Toaster Oven BOV800XL was $329.99 now $159.99

The “was” prices I am showing above are the recommended retail prices of the original appliances. These items are all manufacturer refurbished and would come with a 30 day guarantee, Breville refurbished products come with a 6 month warranty. The prices above DON’T include shipping, so that would be a bit extra, and varies depending on where you live.

Just be savvy and check out the deal. For example, I price compared the first item in the list, the BJE200XL juice fountain. The first hit that came up was $120 at Amazon. Even when factoring in the test shipping cost of $17 on top of the $55 product cost, this is still substantially cheaper than buying the appliance brand new.

Here’s a word about these authorized reseller stores:

We operate over 60 stores throughout Quebec and Ontario.  Most items we sell in our online clearance outlet are refurbished products and are not offered in our stores.  We developed a strong relationship with our suppliers and we are authorized retailers for all of them.  We currently have Father’s Day’s specials with many great products and special offers.

eBay Canada has a good deal on a new SanDisk 8GB Class 4 SDHC Memory Card – only $9.99 (US) with free shipping to Canada.

• Buy an 8 GB Memory Card @ eBay Canada

With 194 already sold – you can tell this is a good deal. I have a SanDisk memory card, my oldest, and it has held up really well – very happy with it. Usually a 4GB will cost you at least $10, so to get an 8GB memory card for $10 is a good deal.

Features:

• High storage capacity (8GB)
• Speed Performance Rating: Class 4 (based on SD 2.00 Specification)
• Package: Bulk Pacakge (without retail box package)

The seller has a 99.4% rating, which is really good.

T-fal has started an authorized clearance outlet on eBay Canada. One of their items on sale is a Manufacturer Refurbished T-Fal Melody 2 Nescafe Dolce Gusto for only $79.99. The machine is fully functional, and comes with all accessories and warranty. As an added bonus, it ships for free across Canada.

• Buy a lovely Nescafe Dolce Gusto for only $80

Manufacturer refurbished items are great, you are getting the same item for a great discount. They come with full warranty as well, so if anything goes wrong you are covered. The T-fal authorized clearance outlet even offers a 30-day money back guarantee. The only catch is you have to pay return shipping (unless there is something wrong of course).

These coffee makes are hugely popular. I can understand them being quite a money saver too if you have a coffee or latte habit you feed at your local Starbucks or Second Cup. You could easily save a bundle by making them at home.

If you weren’t aware, eBay now has official brands with stores on eBay Canada. One that is sure to be popular is Cuisinart store. They sell great kitchen appliances for far less than in store retail value. These items are sold at this price because they are manufacturer refurbished. All refurbished items come with a 90-day warranty.

• Shop Cuisinart @ eBay Canada

An example of some of the stuff they carry is:

• Cuisinart 6-Slice Traditional Waffle Iron WAF-6C – $54.99

• Cuisinart EasyPop Popcorn Maker CPM-900C – $39.99

• Cuisinart Compact Deep Fryer CDF-100C – $39.99

For most items the shipping is rather high (around $20) so I would certainly price compare first. I price compared with The Bay and discovered that the Waffle Iron is on sale for $97.74 at The Bay so even with the $20 shipping for the eBay one, you are getting a better deal.

Certainly price compare before you buy though.

I just bought this deal and had to share it with you. A seller on eBay is selling a Studio Ghibli Movie Collection: complete with 17 of their most famous movies for only $49.99 with free shipping to Canada.  That is 17 movies for $49.99 = $2.94 a movie!

• Click here to get the 17 Studio Ghibli Movie Collection

These movies are dubbed in english and come with english subtitles. Thanks to my friends Brandon for pointing this deal out to me: he knows I am such an anime geek.

About collection:

• 6 DVD disks + 1 CD
• All regions
• English and Japanese stereo , Dolby Digital ( ALL 17 MOVIES WITH ENGLISH AUDIO )
• Subtitles: English

This collection has such famous movies as Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Spirited Away, Nausica, Ponyo and many more. It includes a bonus CD that is the Studio Ghibli Concert – 25th anniversary.

There are 12 sets available currently.

I price compared with Amazon Canada and you will make up the cost with just 3 movies: for example Princess Mononoko is $13.99, Spirited Away is $19.60 and My Neighbor Totoro is also $19.60. With just 3 movies from Amazon Canada you are surpassing the cost of the entire 17 movie collection.
