Not pricewise (although it could be both) - but either physical size or weight wise?
One of the corners of my yard is hard to access - we either have to walk behind one of the buildings (through two fence gates) or you have to step off a concrete slab with a 2.5 foot drop. So I bought a walk ramp that is 12' long, 3' wide and about 3" thick to put in place. Cost just a bit more to ship it than the purchase price was.
^ nothing that big, you’re probably going to win the thread.
For me, either a floor tom drum or one of two gigantic boxes of miscellaneous video game systems and games.
Have never bought anything off eBay.
My automated BJ machine with 6.7 HP. With shipping it totaled $650 and weighed 55 lbs. But I definitely don't regret my purchase.
Serious answer, I only get small expensive things off eBay. I can't think of anything that had to be shipped to my house because it didn't fit in a mailbox.
Actually wait, 3 years ago I got some car mirrors that didn't fit in the mailbox.
Commodore 1084S monitor I guess?
Nothing too huge. The biggest would probably be a box of like 5 or 6 broken Genesis consoles that I bought to repair.
What was funny though, is the seller was actually my local retro store. They weren't interested in doing local pick-up though and mailed the box like normal.
MOTU Eternia playset.
A decade ago I bought a 42" plasma (refurb) on eBay. I also bid on a couple cars at some point, but didn't win.
An office chair with an inflatable ball for a seat.
I didn't order that, though. My order was for an RGB SCART to Component converter device. I got sent that chair instead.
neo geo aes with a few games, although I picked it up from the ebay seller physically.
First things that come to mind
Largest item from ebay: G.I. Joe Cobra Night Raven
Heaviest item from ebay: Pioneer V2600 LaserDisc player
I'm pretty sure the largest is correct, but the heaviest may not be. I remember in the late 90s/early 2000s I would buy computers from Ebay. Notebooks, terminals, equipment. It is possible that those were heavier than the LD player, but I don't have any of them around anymore to know for sure.
My largest was probably my first laserdisc player too. It was a DVL-700 with about 30 discs. I've shipped out an even larger package, it was an exhaust pipe I pulled off my RX-7 when I replaced the whole system, that box was about 6 feet long.
I guess my 45 inch Dragon's Crown poster that is framed.
Some rocker panels for a car I used to have? So about the the span of the sides in length.
2o inch CRT monitor doe my very first computer I built back in 2002 i think.
Not ebay per se, but a local ebay equivalent. I got my 36" CRT TV for 10€ (+ 10 for transport to my town). It was lots of fun getting the 80kg thing on 5th floor looool

The post office was just like, come down here and pick it up yourself we are not delivering it.
Elevators aren't a thing in most buildings except the really tall ones in the capital lolQuote:

I remember the first time I saw a car for sale on ebay, I couldn't believe that someone would be ok with buying a car that way but it seems quite common now.
My biggest personal ebay purchase was a shelf unit for my home.
A laserdisc player
Damaged in shipping of course.
I think mine must be the the Menacer gun box. I got it new back in 2000 or 2001 alongside a brand new Genesis model 2 Lion King variant. Also NIB. I still have them NIB, but sadly shelf wear is a bitch when you didn't know much about collecting in those days; let alone had the means to store them properly.

Probably my boxed Neo Geo AES from Japan.
Is it for DOS games? Thats my best guess because I don't even know when the Pentium I was released.
Also did anyone here grow up with a Pentium machine besides a Pentium IV?
A Mystic Marathon arcade game in a Stargate cabinet.
The Pentium architecture started in the mid-nineties. I have a 486 that's fine for many DOS games. If I want to run heavy DOS games, I have a system much better than a P1 for that. I didn't get a computer until 1998, and I bought it with my own credit card.Quote:
