It's a trip!: Can't blog, ebaying...

Can't blog, ebaying...

Ok, so I know I'm behind the power curve--but OMG I LOVE ebay! I'd only ever checked it out by randomly looking through what's on offer. That is NOT the way to ebay--the stuff is just not organized well enough to "browse". You have to know what you're looking for, and having never done that, I couldn't understand why everyone liked ebay so much.

A couple days ago I got on to search for a specific item--and found tons of what I was looking for. So, now I'm hooked. I'm going to go broke, plain and simple. Holy crap, there's some cool stuff on there! Beware--if you're expecting a Christmas present from me, odds are it's coming from ebay!

Here's a sample of some of the things I'm currently bidding on.

An antique syringe set, complete with original boxes. How awesome is that!!

An antique powder flask--again, too cool! I just can't find this stuff anywhere else...

BTW--these are MINE! If you bid against me, I will kneecap you. Just kidding (almost)!

Look, when you get your antique syringes, you too have have a super scary bathroom like this one!

Now, I'm looking for PC's favorite cologne which has been discontinued at Abercrombie and isn't on the website either. I'm going to have to check ebay (I'm afraid) and then buy every ounce they have. Stocking stuffers will be done!!!; Mon Sep 19, 08:14:00 PM BST

That's my new favorite expression. I will cut you is a little too graphic. This has just the right mix of funny and threat.

Cool stuff, by the way.; Tue Sep 20, 06:22:00 PM BST

I like the flask......*races over to eBay to see how much it is*

hehehehe

Don't worry, no matter how much I would end up loving something I could never intentionally outbid someone just for spite.

Oh yeah, and I'm totally ADDICTED to eBay! Great place to pick up designer bags and high end cosmetics(don't worry the cosmetics aren't used, usually it's someone that works for the company selling off their "allowance" and making a few extra bux in the process) and I've had really good luck with electronics as well. But you're right you gotta know EXACTLY what it is you are looking for or else!

Great blog btw!; Thu Sep 22, 09:55:00 PM BST
