My wife turned me on to E-Baying many months ago and for a few months I was helplessly in its grips. I was bidding on hundreds of auctions trying to get some rare action figures at reasonable prices. Then I just stopped cold turkey and hadn’t gone back.
Until this week. Someone I don’t know sent me a link to an auction out-of-the-blue for an item that I had expressed an interest in owning almost 5 years ago. I’ve never seen this item sold anywhere at any price and I absolutely must have it — as in sky’s-the-limit as far as price for something that probably cost less a few bucks when it was first made.
So now I’m sucked back in to bidding to trying to get that item without going into exorbitant prices. I’m also kind of surprised there’s so much interest in the item (no I’m not going to mention what it is because I don’t need more competitors). I thought I was a bit insane for bidding $10 for the item, only to be outbid and having to go up even higher.
And worst of all, there are still almost 6 days left. Damn you, E-Bay.
