Where my cats are
I just won my bid for a super duper awesome cat tree on Ebay for my Mom's cats! I was shaking like a leaf and sweating and I really thought I was gonna get sick. I wanted that tree for them soooo bad and Mom said she'd pay for it and all.

Please, someone else tell me they get all worked up over stuff like that too!?!


Here's the tree: http://cgi.ebay.com/74-Deluxe-Cat-Sc...QQcmdZViewItem


I'll post pics of Pumpkin and the girls on it when it gets here! I think it's being shipped to my house first anyway. DH is gonna love cartin that over to my parent's!

DH and I have a whole system worked out for bidding. That helps a lot I think. We got a tree just over a year ago for our girls the same way. It just isn't quite as big as this one!

Wow! Thats an awesome tree! Can I ask how much it was in the end?
I wish I was gutsy enough to bid on Ebay, but I'm always so nervous about it- plus, I've never done it before!

That is so cool!
Your kitties are gonna LOVE it! Don't worry - you'll calm down soon enough. Just think about how excited the kitties are going to be!

I have bought many things on e-bay its easy and I found it very safe and efficient. I have 2 cat trees that I got one there plus more stuff then I care to say
The tress are reasonable to say the least its the shipping but still cheaper way cheaper then the stores.. Just go get familiar with there rules and such...It is fun

I'm afraid I'd get addicted to it- so I'd rather not know how
I'd rather have someone else bid for me, and I'll send them the money!

My final bid was $45, what I got was like $31.26 plus $75 for shipping.

I put in my zip code to see what it the shipping is and then we decided on a price to pay. I just bid a little bit to sorta get in the running, then I watch it and put in my big bid as late in the game as possible. DH did that for our other tree and we got it at a good price, though someone on here got one at an even better price. We've gotten a few things from e-bay over the years. I don't usually go on unless I'm looking for something specific. I have a paypal account to use for payment, and that's supposed to be pretty safe.
