Tonight I’m gonna bid like it’s 1999

Do you remember the good old days, before BINs and Shops, before those pesky professionals moved in, when eBay was all about buying someone else’s tat at a bargain price? If you fancy a dose of nostalgia, eBay affiliate site Like It’s 1999.com shows you things the way they used to be: just the auctions, none of the frills.

It’s a great filter for those looking for a bargain, but to be honest, I think it shows more than ever how eBay has moved beyond the auction format. The site seems strangely empty, and the thought of having to wait nine and a half days to find out if I had won an item or not, just ridiculous. Nice try, guys, but I think I’ll stick with my BINs and SIFs: bidding is *so* last century ;-)

    I’m still trying to remember the last time I *bid* on an auction! I really must try it again one day instead of BIN :-D
