OK, so the question was asked how do I find bargains on E-bay.  There are some tricks, which I will not be sharing so that they will still work for me, but mostly it is just looking.  Every day.  I start with going to stamps.ebay.com and searching for Israel.  I do this almost every morning.  I sort the items by newly listed, and then I only need to look at the items listed since I last looked.  Usually, there are 100 or so new items a day.  It doesn't take long. 
So, what do I find at bargain prices?  Here is an example of what I found now (none of these items are being sold by me, nor do I have any financial interest in driving up the prices for them).  Obviously, I am not going to list items that I am considering bidding on, since I don't want to create competition for items I want to buy.
The first item is the Ardon Windows imperf sheet.  Here it is at a start price of $9.99.  My 2004 Bale catalog lists it at $50.
Not good enough?  How about the Postal Museum sheet?  The same seller has both the perforated and imperforated versions for sale at the buy it now price of $20.  He also has best offer enabled, which means you can probably get it for $15.  Bale has the imperf one at $50, and the perforated one at $4.
Ok, what about older stamps?  How about C1-6 tabs with a start price of $0.99?  or the UPU set, currently selling for $5.50?  Can't beat those deals. 
Ok, so there are 4 different deals that I found in 5 minutes of looking.  The deals are out there.  If you can't find them on your own, consider being my first customer for my stamp finding service.
