I have no idea what happened to me. I have a legitimate distrust of buying things from individuals (rather than established stores) on the internet. I even bid on and won an item from a listing that eBay later told me was from an account that was compromised. No matter, PayPal toook its time and dragged it feet, so AMEX to the rescue...they got my cash back for me. LOVE THEM!!! Anyway....
Recently I have this need to bid on things. I seem to go in spurts, especially when I get an idea in my head like the PS3, which incidentally I did get via eBay. I bought some new golf clubs and got an itch to buy a wedge to complete the set. I have been bidding on wedges all week, probably on at least 30 different listings. Last night I got so frustrated with losing...the last one that put me over the edge, I lost in the last 5 seconds...I started bidding on things that I didn't even want. Now they were all golf related items, and they are things I wouldn't mind having, but noting I need or even desperately want. This morning I woke up to find that I have been outbid on 2 of the 7 things I bid on last night. Luckily I hadn't totally lost my mind and bid less than $5 on 5 of the 7 items. The other 2 bids were legit, but there is a strong chance I will get outbid in the next couple days. I hope so...I am spending money like its air. Did I mention that a couple bids this week have been for the Nintendo Wiis??? I really want that thing, but only for 2 games. Zelda which I've played for GC and Tiger Woods. Thats it. Okay maybe the tennis game that comes with the console, but nothing else. Stupid? Yes. Crack-like addiction? Maybe.
