I keep buying shit on Ebay...
 
... do you think I have a problem. For some reason I bought an oil burner on Saturday, and yesterday night I stayed up until 1.00am to bid on a E.T. mask, which I won, but paid stupid ammounts of money for.

I have no idea why I buy these things, but after I buy something, I always vow not to buy anything else, but a couple of days later I end up buying something else!

obsessive compulsive dissorder?

sounds like you need to take it a bit easier man.

nicfit 10.24.2006 08:28 AM

or send me some random spare things you got,it will help fighting your compulsive disorder.

sonik death 10.24.2006 08:30 AM

That just makes the problem worse. I don't want to get into the trap of buying stuff, to then just give it away, I'm far too selfish for that. Plus, even though it's usually shit I buy, I kinda like it...

You should try reselling the stuff you buy and make a profit. There are people making a killing from that.

ps: nicfit, your package is ready, and I'll be sending it in the coming days. ;)

You just reminded me that I need to start going on ebay again. My dad sells old comic books on ebay.

Do you really think it's a compulsive disorder? Man, this could be bad...

nicfit 10.24.2006 08:41 AM

actually i think it depends on you "financial state".if you have loads of money,or if the prices you pay do not affect your life then it's propbably just boredom and will to find something funny/interesting to fill the boredom.it could be a disorder if you exceed your "spendable money amount",i can't express what i think in english,sorry...i mean,if i had a lot of money i would buy many useless things i like and even more expensive useful ones.

uhi,toko,thanks for the good news ;) !i'm kinda curious.

sonik death 10.24.2006 08:44 AM

Yeah true. I guess I think it's just a bit pointless to fill my life with loads of crap I never use.
maybe i'll just put it all back on ebay and start afresh.

This is like some sort of sad space-age-consumerism-decay-of-society kinda thing. Go and watch 'Dawn of the Dead' (the original). That will scare you away from buying anything for a long time.

Do you think I'll be able to find this on Ebay?

How is this relevant to my experience? Jokey, I say, jokey. A pox on thee.

sonik death 10.24.2006 01:00 PM

Wot you on about?

!@#$%! 10.24.2006 03:59 PM

why buy shit, when you can recycle?

instead of flushing, just SCOOP.

screamingskull 10.24.2006 04:04 PM

ive done this but i got in trouble and quit after, i bid on two things then changed my mind after i won them. i got two warnings from the ebay people for refusing to pay. one more and im not allowed on there anymore.

!@#$%! 10.24.2006 04:05 PM

how much would you pay for this?

 

screamingskull 10.24.2006 04:06 PM

10p

!@#$%! 10.24.2006 04:07 PM

and this one?

 

gmku 10.24.2006 04:07 PM

^ that's gross. Thanks. If I'd wanted to see that, I coulda gotten up out of my chair and walked half a block down to the restroom in the public library. Thanks.

sonik death, if you think buying shit on eBay is a problem, just don't do it anymore. I for one would applaud you for stopping. I hate eBay.
