Just Got Addicted to eBay

Post by Robert Treder »

Yep. I outbid someone with forty seconds to go on the Criterion Collection DVD of Sid & Nancy. I jumped out of my chair and did a little dance when I won.

Now I'm bidding for the Criterion Collection DVD of Robocop. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

Indeed it will. Be wary, for it can become a very expensive addiction. *Grumbles, wanders off to rob random person for eBay money.*

Or any other similar services.

Takes much of the fun out of bidding as well as much of the aggravation.

The real thrill is getting what you want for less than you were willing to spend.

Yes! I got the Criterion Collection Robocop for $30! The manufacturer's price was $39.95, but now it's out of print. What a steal.

I might have to look into that Auction Sniper...
