Ebay Addiction

I just spent over $30 bucks on this shirt. Yes, That's THIRTY DOLLARS for a shirt all because when I bid at the last few minutes I get ebay fever. I get all shaky and competitive, and any common sense I have completely goes out the window just so I can win the bid. I'm insane. I can't explain what goes through my head when I'm trying to win something. I seriously become a bidding maniac. hahaha!

Does anyone else go through this? Or did I just out myself as being crazy? lmao =]

I've never seen that! I should probably start using that instead. I can't stand it when I lose something by like .25 cents. It drives me nuts!

OMG! 10 grand!? Shew, I wish I could even THINK about spending that kind of money.

I agree, I'll buy something, and then I'll be like, "omg, wtf did I just do? This was so not worth it" That shirt wasn't really worth $30 bucks, but it's cute and it's my favorite color, but most importantly, I can't stand the thought of someone out bidding me. That's my whole problem. haha!

I used too, but already had a preset amount I would spend on any item. Once it exceeded that, I wouldn't go any higher. I used to buy a lot of Mac on Ebay, but now that 99.9% of the Mac I see on Ebay is fake, my "Ebay Fever" has now turned into a cold chill.

Ugh I've done that ONCE. Hitting that "Bid Now" button just for the rush. hahaha. Well it was for my MAC Jewel Eyes palette last year or so. Gah. I don't regret it because I really do love that palette (just hate what I paid for it!) but I got a little angry with myself for that very last minute bid.

Ya know now that you mention it, this ebay bidding could def be a serious problem for some people.

Yes, I'm sure it is a problem for a lot of people. If I had more money I'd probably BE one of those people! lol!

Honestly you should give it a try, works a treat. I usually set the snipe for an odd amount rather than a nice round figure and Im usually the "lucky" winner Then I end up with more cr@p I dont need

That is probably why I avoid eBay (except for pictures) in the first place. I was trying to bid on a traincase, but thankfully I caught myself before I wound up paying way more than the Buy It Now price. I am just so competitve, if I had the money, I would probably be in the same boat as you! lol
