I try to be good...I try to not go out and spend money...buy clothes, make up, CDs...I really try...then there is ebay...and it's so hard! When you find something rare...you just wanna bid on it cuz you feel like you will never see it again...and then before you know it...AGGGGGhhhhh!!!

I love ebay though. What the hell did we do before the internet really?

My name is carl.....

And I am an Ebayaholic.....

It has been 3 days since I lasat checked out Ebay though and I feel very good about it.

I had to stop cuz my girlfriend threatened to kick me out if I didn't stop.




Yep.....I used to have a real problem buying on Ebay.....Not too bad now, have learned a bit more self control !!

Thanks - I really did go OTT at times - The first night I went on Ebay was back in 2003 and I sat with my Girlfriend and blew £200 on Prince Stuff !!! Crazy !!!
In my first year I had spent over £1000 worth on Prince Music and Memoribilia alone !!!

Now I have limited myself to one purchase a Month, maybe two if it is something special or not a common item.


..... I am sure we are not alone, some people may not recognise they have a problem yet !!!

Yes it's easy to spend alot of money on Prince stuff. Alot of it is SOOO rare. I totally understand.

I only window shop there. every day
I can't afford anything now, but once I get money, I'm going to spend it all there.

i'm wondering what experiences people have had SELLING on ebay? i'm about to give it a go and wondered what people have to say about it?

We went outside and felt the grass on our bare feet. We read books. We had conversations with our friends, visited them. We wrote letters, went to museums.
We lived

..... How true. Sometimes as wonderful the internet is, I think it has helped remove some of the more Community based parts of our lives. I had pen pals around the world who I would write letters to, would hang out with friends and do all kinds of other stuff. Now If I want a CD I can buy it here, hell I could even do the weekly shopping whilsts drinking a mug of coffee and sitting down here !!!

Most of my personal items are bought through the Internet, though I do it not through laziness but because I hate shopping and those sales people who stalk you like a Lion would an antelope when you are in some stores !!!
