Put. The eBay. Down.

Posted by Erica August 7th, 2004 • UncategorizedPermalink

eBay is such an adrenaline rush.

I bid on another replacement cell phone, and on an FM transmitter for my computer. I expected to get bid-sniped on the phone, and I did. I got the transmitter. I bid as much as I would pay if I drove over to Best Buy and bought it there, less the cost of shipping. I figured I was gonna spend that money anyway, so maybe I’d get lucky and get it cheaper. And I did, by a little bit.

Then I went shopping for clothes. It occurred to me recently that I’m woefully lacking in shorts, so I bid on a few pairs of khaki shorts. I also went for a few pairs of pants. I don’t really need anything else, as I’m looking to get rid of clothes in every other category.

Okay, fine and then there was the Winsor Pilates 3 DVD set. I lost that one at the last minute, though.

But that’s it. ¡No más! Seriously.

    Shaddup. And quit looking at me like that.

    Oh, and I buy all my 501 jeans through e-Bay. Only suckaaas pay retail. Heh.

    I’m with Emma–E-bay has ruined me for retail forever. I’ll be in a store and see a great pair of shoes and think, “Nah, I can get a better deal on E-bay.” It’s an addiction.
