I have mine set up to show the lowest bids first

Oh I could be, easily. Recently, for the first time in 2 years, I bought a very rare piece from the line of collectibles I so love (and along the way had a lesson on how to be the winning bid, I had forgotten what works for me..missed out on one piece, but got the second one I'd wanted), and last week, I snagged a portable, powerful air conditioner - YAY!!!!! No more dying those few times of hot weather here in the Puget Sound.

I have been eyeing cat trees too....

Isn't it amazing how we just go on there to "browse" and go "OH I HATE TO HAVE THAT" or " That would look great next to the....."

Pat & Alix, If I may be so bold, where abouts in Puget Sound? I spent all last summer in Port Townsend doing an internship with the Leader and got around to some of the little towns around there. I have an uncle in PT as well. (sorry for Hijack)

I really like LOOKING at ebay.. but I don't bid on there very much, mostly cause I'm scared too. Recently I've been looking at wedding dresses though. I've seen some really beautiful ones, but I also want to try something on similar beforehand... the search goes on!!

Oh it's beautiful out in Port Townsend! I live near Tacoma.

I (we) go through spurts with eBay. I haven't bought anything from there in a long time. I don't really have the patience for online bidding anymore. Usually if I'm looking at something, I'll only look for "buy now" stuff.

I'm more apt to buy from Amazon, but only if I can combine a few things I want/"need" to get free shipping.

Although - with today's gas prices, shipping costs might be less than gas prices.

I used to buy a lot of things from Ebay, but shipping prices are getting out of control so many auctions listed at 99c then shipping is $40.

I dont own any credit cards. For that reason. I KNOW I would get out of control. It's very very hard to turn down the credit card applications everywhere though. But self-control Leah, Self-control!
But I do go on e-bay frequently and dream about stuff. That's fun!

Hi my name is Mel and I have been an ebay addict for 2 years now (round of applause please..LOL).

I love browsing ebay for things for the cats.... I think I shop more online than I do in the actual shops these days.

i spent 300 euros on ebay things just before my cousin got here, since then ive been distracted with real stores and yesterday i just blasted 100 euros down the drain on a dress, 2 bikinis, 2 restaurants.
And today two of my friends want to go to the movies!

I'm to poor to be addicted to ebay.. if i had lots of money, i'd buy ebay out.

Fellow addicted e-bayers I have been clean and almost sober sence I bought the mice and the last cat tree about 2 weeks ago, all except for that feather duster what I won't resort to
I am going to have to go into a in house program where there is absloutely not a computer,and no phone and no carrier pigeons, no text messaging, I need a place in the middle of the desert or Ocean, it's so so hard even if i didn't have a car I could go broke just sitting here. Please pray for me to loose the addiction and my username and password to any online shopping lol I'm so sick ok I have a bid in....
