Ditto

But you now have to watch the "Buy it now" prices carefully.
I always do a Google search to check online/retail prices against the eBay prices.
And watch the postage costs, some US sellers are charging way over what's reasonable.

My Christmas present from my wife arrived yesterday:
Phil Harrington's new book "Cosmic Challenge: The Ultimate Observing List for Amateurs"
on eBay, ex the UK, for <$50 delivered, currently $82.95 in Angus & Robertsons.
Had a quick peek before I handed it over to be wrapped, looks great!

Cheers
Chris
