I'm Addicted to Ebay

[uncontentgirl]

Always ignored this site and made fun of people who were into it. Now I am officially addicted to it. Even as I type this, I have another window open to the website. In only the last two days I have bought a dresser, two vintage tapestries, a lamp and some vintage T-shirts.

I'm hooked.

Someone please help me.

s408 might be able to point you in the direction of a 12 step program for eBayers.

dont worry. there are worse things to be addicted to.
like felching for example. i think lbfam still has yet to kick that habit.

Keep me outta this. I'll end up looking up something I don't need and buying 2 of them.

Don't worry, it'll probably pass.

I was hooked on it a few months ago, dropped like four or five bills on records, and now I don't even check it.

Then again, I pretty much crossed everything off my want list and was just peeping records. If you're on there looking at all the crap they have to offer and wheelchair-bound, you might be in trouble.

I used to be hooked on that shit, but i just ran out of money...it is the only sure way to not go there. Just spend all your cash.

I have never really fucked with eBay. I guess i'd just rather go to the store and buy what I want. I've been thinking about putting a box full of old baseball/basketball cards up on there though. My girlfriend used to be all about some eBay though.

My sister had a little ebay addiction as well...the funniest shit was that she ordered this like hella expesive facial cream for hella cheap so when the package came it was a small ass package and it was a trial size tube, like the size of a pinky finger. I was crackin up at her. It was misleading though because they had taken a pic of it hella close up so you couldn't tell the size...I think she kind of stopped fucking with it after that...well, maybe not, I'll have to ask her

i just had a friend sell some stussy gear on ebay for me. i need to do it myself tho cuz he doesn't present it well.

have you looked at card values lately? there is nothing post-1980 that is worth over a dollar. its like since the strike back in... what like 95?... baseball cards just went downhill and nobody fucks wit em anymore. you might as well hang on to em in case they ever make a comeback.

i was waayyyy into that shit as a kid tho, i had (and still have) a ton of cards. but kids these days aint into that no more... instead of baseball cards and micro-machines, they collectin crack rocks and cell phones.

Seriously? Damn I had no idea... serves the industry right though. I was big on that shit when I was a kid too, I'm glad I sold alot of my valuable stuff. I figured it was only a matter of time when it became mandatory to have your cards sealed in lucite and appraised, not to mention when packs of cards started going for a minimum of $3.

Too bad so many grown-ass herbs had to ruin it for the kids.

hahaaa... yeah becket was the shit man, i would check that shit religiously to see how my mark mcguire olympic rookie card was doin. also my kirby pucket rookie, roger clemens rookie, rickey henderson, ken griffey, frank thomas, all them rookie cards was worth a grip and changin monthly. but yeah i recently saw a fat book at barnes & noble that listed a bunch of shit and almost everything was under a buck. now why in the hell would someone wanna buy that book? so they can look up their sosa upper deck rookie and see that its at a whopping 60 cents?

This could very well be THE stupidest eBay auction EVER.
