Splashing out on Designer handbags and fighter jets

IF you're crazy enough to spend a few thousand euro on a designer handbag, you probably spend hours every evening checking the offers on eBay.

A Hermes Birkin 35cm Camel bag was on sale last week on eBay for €2,000 plus €75 postage. As the same bag could set you back about €6,500 in BTs, you can pick up designer handbags on eBay for about a third of the high street price.

Or you could just settle for a Prada Saffiano bag instead -- certain models are on sale in Brown Thomas for €995.

If you've got about €82,000 to spare, you could fulfil your fighter-pilot dreams by snapping up a rare two-seater Harrier jump jet on eBay.

The Harrier Jump Jet T-Bird Aircraft XW269, which was priced at about €82,000 on eBay last week, comes complete with cannon and missile storage pods.
