   I do the same. Often play the Ebay game, figuring an item maybe fine or   
   maybe I'll have to fix it. It's my way of gambling. Most of the time   
   it's a win and the times it's not I'm not out any money I'd not planned   
   on losing anyway.   
      
   I read through the HF reviews to find what people are complaining   
   about. Often times it's something to be expected from said item at the   
   price point. Other times you can tell it won't hold up to what you want   
   to do with it and I'll look elsewhere...   
      
   I do appreciate your thoughts on stuff, always well thought out and   
   honest👠
