addicted to ebay

post Category: tastes post postAugust 24, 2006

I have a serious eBay addiction. Someone should do an intervention on my shopping habits because I find myself searching for some seriously stupid crap (and finding it) on eBay.

I buy a good amount of my clothes on eBay. Some people find this odd because obviously you can’t try things on. But that doesn’t stop me. I continue on my global shopping mission by scouring the site for cute and original things. Sometimes things don’t fit, but mostly they are OK. Plus I really can’t stand going into shops all the time and trying stuff on and then queuing up to pay. Something about online shopping is semi-guilt free since I don’t have to sign anything and no cash gets pulled from my bag.

I have also taken to pretty much buying everything from eBay.

Over the past months this has included:

  • a garbage can (which never has shown up)
  • Entourage season 2 box set - £8 bargain!
  • privacy filter for my laptop
  • patio heater
  • Litter Locker for Roley
  • Callaway Big Bertha driver
  • golf gloves for Arlie and I
  • AC adapter for the laptop

    As long as I steer clear of my old habit of buying action figures then I think we are OK…Too bad all this shopping doesn’t drive up the piddly poop eBay stock price so my Skype shares might be worth something. :(

    eBay ain’t been fun for me lately, selling off tons of my crapola that’s been laying around forever. i wish i could just throw shit away, but i have somehow managed to accrue about $650 for that crap over the last couple of weeks. too many damn listings to write, though, and it ain’t near over yet.

    my happy time at eBay will be coming damn soon, though! the fireturd’s gettin’ a new engine ‘cos the old one’s just about dead shot from my hillbilly driving antics. the bottom end chatters real hard at “bootup” now, but i still abuse her bad. guess i just ain’t gonna be happy ’til i blast a hole through the side of the block, then i’ll be a performance upgrade parts buying fool. level 3 street/strip tranny and new rear end gears are already in place, just waitin’ on some engine love now..

    women buying shoes ain’t got nothin’ on us motorhead men!

    Just thought of something… I am the devil, and do so love to contribute to the delinquency of others. Why just shop at eBay.uk? With the following site, you can hit eBay.thewholedamnworld if you want.
