<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

There is a huge amount of cheap (or even free) stuff out there on sites like ebay, but it's really hard to get to. There are sites like www.fatfingers.com to find listings with typos (less bids - cheaper!) or the soon ending deals (so nobody will outbid you, but there is a lot of crap in there and no filtering).

Another thing would be some shipping tricks, for stuff larger and heavier than a brick the charges are huge and many sellers offer only local pickup. That sucks for people not in the US since most stuff like that is there. I wouldn't mind getting something large and heavy to me with boats, horse carriages etc instead of planes if it'll cost less. Any tricks for that?

And one last thing, any unusual / not well known stuff you can get cheap and it's amazing?
