Have you gotten your kids' Halloween costumes yet? I have, only thanks to my dear husband who got the ball rolling when he had our daughter out running errands. If it weren't for that, I probably would just now be thinking about what costumes to get. One year, I waited until the absolute last possible minute. Don't ever do that. It's bad. Real bad.

I very recently learned about a new service associated with eBay, called PicClick, that makes finding the exact costume your kid's been whining about asking for a much easier task than ever before. I've bought costumes on eBay in the past and think it's a great way to get unique, well-made costumes at a fraction of the cost of buying new, but it can be hard to compare all of the available costumes and find the best price, from the most reputable seller.

That's where PicClick comes in. With this tool, you can see up to a hundred products on one page, compared with just a handful in a standard eBay view. Also, PicClick cuts out all the extra clutter of banner ads and such that run on eBay. Here's a screen shot.

There's still time left before Halloween.. If you haven't gotten your kids' (or your own!) costumes yet, give PicClick a try. I think this would be a great way to look for other things too, like the best bargain in high-end cosmetics, fashion, or jewelry. Yes, I've bought diamonds on eBay in the past. You can get great deals. Wish I'd had PicClick then!
