I need an Intervention

I have spent...HOURS on eBay tonight (not even going to say exactly how many...).
I think it's time for an intervention.

B-but, it's not my fault! First, it was 'pageant' dresses for DD (MIL wanted me to buy her some more, for church), and I won 1, but had to wait to see about the rest (hey, who can resist a gorgeous dress for under $10?). And then, I just started browsing...and found lots of accessories for her.. Next, it was accessories for myself.. Then, it was jewelry..
I did get tons of great deals, though.
Just need to...stop now. >.> :embarassed:

List of what I WON/paid for tonight (still bidding on about 30 other items. ._.):




New 2PC Toddler Wedding Flower Girl Dress SZ 3/3T @






W1434 17pcs Mixed Shoe Charms pattern various DIY fit

(for DD's Crocs)

(for DH cosplay)

Amazing deals -- so many have free shippping. Wow

Yeah, I click the Only Free Shipping box, and then make the maximum around $1-$5 (depending on what I'm buying), then check what's ending soonest...lol

Smart -- didn't know you could do that - I'm not a big ebay shopper and I'm going to try to forget this excellent advice. LOL

lol I buy often on eBay, but never to the extent that I did last night. ._.
I still have about 20 bids I'm winning... Some earrings for me, adorable headphones (Hello Kitty, 25 cents if I win this haha), 4 dresses for DD, some anklets for me and tights and Ed Hardy shoes.
Yes, very random haha.

You're SO like me, clicking the FREE shipping only deals!
I've won such great jewelry pieces, such as silver bangles (wide ones), pearls, earrings, charms, etc...mostly under $5. It's a thrill to out-bid someone by "kamakazi" bidding, lol, although I do prefer the "Buy Now" method if the item is cheap enough. Receiving the packages is so much fun....Happy bidding!!!

Ebay is the way to go for many things....like I once bought a crystal nail file in the store.....cost me $10. Went on ebay, got 16 of them for $7. I get parts for phones, I have fixed 2 blackberries and an HTC Evo 3d for under $50. It's just crazy....basically ordering direct from China and cut out the price jacking middlemen.

I dont think you need an intervention. I don't even want to think about how many hours I've spent on ebay. I have over 1000 feedback in total.... so thats 'nuff said

Just be warned stuff from Asia can take up to a month to receive.

Yeah, I actually get a lot from Hong Kong lol.
Electronics are cheap there. We needed a doorbell since we now have an outer door and my hearing is bad, and I got one for $5, works awesome. :) Did take 2 months, though.

Mother-f.......................................
I waited until there was 2 minutes left on the HK headphones, and someone outbid me again.

Goddess....that's why you keep two tabs open: the one where you're watching the time, and the other one set up with a VERY high bid, that's ALL but Confirmed, so with 4 seconds left, you can still hit that 'confirm' key and out-bid anyone! Better luck next time! That's kamakazi bidding, Sweetie! :excited:

Wow, with all these tips and tricks I'm off to do some shopping myself! LOL

Eh, I just went with a Buy It Now one. Ended up paying $1.29 (I was aiming for 80 cents LOL).
But, I did some Kamikaze bidding last night! Got me 2 pairs of earrings, and a ring. :p
I showed my husband the ring and told him thanks for the Valentine's gift, haha. xD

Creepy..
