New Addiction

I have a new addiction (like I need another one)! About a month ago I "discovered" e-bay. I wanted to get my son a Little Tikes Hot Wheels Adventure Mountain that is no longer made, so I went on e-bay to see if I could find one. Well, I did. I lost the first two that I bid on and ended up getting another with all of the pieces for less than the other two that were missing a part or two.

My next purchases were puzzles for my classroom. I think this is when the "monster" was created. I currently have three items I'm watching and seven items I'm bidding on.

I'm okay as long as no one bids against me. But apparently I am a very competitive person (something I suspected, but now has been proven) and I really don't like to lose (who does?). I actually have to write down on paper my limit that I won't go over, or else I find myself bidding repeatedly just to "win." It might not even be an item that I really want, but I just want to win. Thankfully, I haven't overpaid for anything (unless you include the s&h)...yet. I've come close a couple of times, but lucky for me, I'm not the only fool out there.

So, now you know another of my "dirty little secrets." To all of you e-bayers that have out-bid me and ended up "saving" me from myself...Thank You!!!

See you on e-bay!
