I've got eBay bucks coming to me tomorrow. about $100. No idea what to use it on.. they're valid all month but I can't imagine I will be able to justify adding any amount to that after just having purchased the 70-200.. so what would you buy?
 
What do you need?
 
Well, personally, if I were YOU, I'd only spend about $25 of it, and I'd send the rest of it to this wonderful person on TPF who uses a staring Osprey as their avatar… :D

Gosh, I could use up $100 on Ebay so fast, it'd make your head spin! Another Yongnuo speed light, maybe a better/bigger/different soft box or umbrella or diffuser that I don't have. Or a good CPL filter. Or--which I actually DID buy on Ebay not too long ago--a variable ND filter. Bought it for sunsets and smooth water effect sort of uses, but have also discovered that it has a place in portrait work, when you have no option but to shoot in midday sun and don't have reflectors, or umbrellas or stuff like that with you.

$14.10 for diffusers/reflector delivered .. ==> 24 x 36" inch 5 in 1 Portable Photography Studio Multi Photo Light Reflector US | eBay

Oh, I HAVE reflectors, and umbrellas. But I didn't have them with me, because I'd had no plans to be taking pictures of people in the midday sun (or any other sun that day, actually). It was just a casual family gathering and then someone wanted some pictures...

"What would you buy?"

Me? I would buy another cheap studio light and a modifier.

Not that I actually need it, just want it. No studio, no model, no time.
 
Hold on to it until you know for sure what you want/need ;-)
 
You could get some filters or an inexpensive flash, yongnuo triggers ...


or my best solution .. gift them to me :)

I'll second the triggers. Inexpensive and worth every penny.
