   When it comes to a gently worn mens blazer or suit, quality and the winning bid will vary significantly from one listing to the next, but with a little help and guidance eBay is the place to find a great suit at a great price.

Getting a great Deal!

   The Buy it Now fixed price can be very convenient but to get a deal you have to narrow the search down to online auctions, this is where the real treasure hunt begins. As you search the listings look for auctions with no reserve and a low starting price of no more than a dollar. Many bidders wait until the last minute to bid, but this isn't always the best tactic, once everyone is watching the same auction the price skyrockets in the end and your back to square one. Bargin hunters will often get in early with a minimum bid then immediately go back and raise thier maximum to a comfortable amount. Once an auction has 2 or 3 bids many ebayers will pass an auction that others have already latched on to so early and then with only a few ebayers watching the action its your bargain for the taking. Shipping is pretty standard, even a 3-peice suit can be shipped flat rate for about $8.00 and you will have it in a couple of days.

The WOW!

   Finding a deal on ebay is quite easy and a high quality dress suit or blazer can be had for around forty bucks, but how do you find the one that makes you go WOW WHAT A GREAT SUIT? Everything has be right for you, don't just check the size and assume it will fit, the item description should contain all the measurements you need to insure a perfect fit. A jacket size is your chest measurement but you also need the length of the sleeves as measured along the top of arm, from shoulder-seam to the end of the sleeve, length of the jacket as measured down the back from collar seam to the bottom, width across back measured from shoulder-seam to shoulder-seam and for the pants a waist measurement and inseam length.
   Research the seller, feedback doesn't lie and most reputable sellers with a quality product will have a positive feedback rating of at least 98% and a well established ebay seller will show a feedback score of a 100 or more, this is how many other eBay members have left positive feedback. A little research goes a long way, first view the sellers other items, this is an ebay search like any other and in the search options you can check COMPLETED LISTINGS and to see items that have ended. Has this seller had several listings for dress suits or sport coats recently, if so you as a buyer should check the feedback profile to see the recent ratings and the feedback received, if its positive you can bid with confidence.
