ebay


HA HA! I love winning things. i love the fact that when you get something from ebay, they tell you that you have WON! in your head, it almost makes it free or something.

well, i did my best ebaying this morning at 3am. i found something for t on there that i was thinking he needed. it was pricey originally, $370. i thought, well, if i can get it cheaper, then i would buy it. if not, he didn't need it that badly and a Heart Rate monitor would do him just fine.

i got up at 3 and found that someone had last bid late last night. this item is in Portugal. I thought, well, no one in the US is up at 5am (east coast) and bidding on this thing. so, 5 minutes before the auction ended, i put in my high bid. then 3 minutes before it ended, SOMEONE BID. What the heck....didn't they know that item was mine?

so, i waited and waited, 3 seconds left. i got it.

personally, i liked As$strap better. i can't put what it is, just in case. oh, the car thing...buying new tires. i was told that my car would only have depreciated $3000 but they made a new body for 2009, so now it's worth $$10,000 less. not going to go through the hassle if i'm not getting a major amount of money back.

Yeah. I hate losing on Ebay - especially at the last second.

a little something about me and the life i choose to live!
