Ok, I admit- this is partly a thread for me to publicly celebrate winning a melody e/s on ebay uk for £7.52 shipped!! That about $15 I think, so just slightly above retail? I've seen it go for a lot more in other mac communities, so yay! But I'm also interested to know what your best deals were, whether it was at the cco, ebay, elsewhere? Oh, apart from melody I recently bought gold and silver (the discontinued version) 1/2 tsp pigments, think the total came to about $6? So, anyway, what's the best deal you've ever scored?

overall I'd say 8$USD for eyeshadows, shipped. with the conversion to CAD it's a little over half the price. From the same person 5-7$USD for Lipglasses. Rareity wise I've gotten Leisuretime, & Little Minx for 8$ (for new)(all the of the above on Livejournal) 15$ for Brill (specktra) and a ton of others

My SA gave me Studio Tech for free. My old MAC MA gave me a Buried Treasure Powerpoint.

Hmm... I got a bunch of the glitter (liquid) eyeliners at CCO.

I found So Ceylon a year and a half after it came out (and got really popular) at a MAC counter for a mall that was closing down. So I got 2 of those for retail. (Too bad that was AFTER I had purchased one for $50 on ebay...) But I was able to sell the ebay item and one of the counter So Ceylons for more than I paid for all 3... So i kind of got my So Ceylon for free in the long run

Coco, Deckchair, Provence, Lovely Lily pigments for $13.00 each at a CCO. The best non-MAC deal: Guerlain's Issima creme foundation full sized and brand new from eBay for $15.99. I did the happy dance on that one.

I thought that my best one was CB96 for US$8.88 incl. shipping but it was for one in the old tube. =T At least I get to try out the colour as the consistency's still okay. My best deals then are getting Beurre cremestick, Plumsoft cremestick and Falling Star e/s for US$22.50 incl. shipping, or full tsp each of Kelly Green, Pink Bronze, Pink Opal, Goldenaire and Lovely Lily for US$26. I guess the piggies lot cuz I'm using them much more than the other!
