I can't stop! My soul isconvinced I need to buy a minidisc rack unit and walkman! I am trying to save money though! Why did I have to be born in the era of the brightly colored online markut plaaaace!

Hide your credit cards!!!

― james, Sunday, 6 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I should probably clip my credit cards. But I think, why bother paying them off if I am just going to buythings with them again anyways?

HEY KIDS: Do not bid on things you don't expect to win.

I've just bought new hard disk and a video projector on this assumption. Won't somebody give me a job? Or a credit card?

― Graham, Sunday, 6 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

why would you bid on something you dont expewkt to win?

Seventeen quid?! I mean, seventeen bloody quid after bitter bidding war? I thought I'd thrown it out but now I've realised that my copy is the heap of paper that's been under the wheels of my computer chair since about 8 hours after I bought it (yes, I know I'm a fool for buying it in the first place, I have excuses involving Friday lunch hour, boredom, a morning full of caffeine and an alcoholic lunch but I won't trouble you with them). It is of course a tattered mess with pages missing and a torn cover. WEEP. I wonder when Strokes Fever will be / was at its peak so I know when to sell the RARE L@@K DELETED UK debut Modern Age b/w Last Nite single no reserve!!!!!!!1 my mate Tom convinced me I should own in February before I went to see them live and decided that they weren't going to get any more money from me ever again.

I have to stop looking at ebay, or I'll buy thousands more cds and records I don't really want. I've never bought anything except cds, records and fanzines on there, though; all the music and computing gear seems to cost nearly as much as I could get it new for.

17 pounds for a copy of the NME? Jeez, I'm sitting on a goldmine here.

But that's not the worst of it - I've seen a mag (NME? or Select maybe?) with BRIAN FREAKING MOLKO on the cover that went for over US$100...

If I had this kindof money, I'd spend it: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw- cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1404330133 Because that's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on sale.

― Maria, Sunday, 6 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1404330133 ought to be right

― Maria, Sunday, 6 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

that looks too fancy for me

― mike hanle y, Monday, 7 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

ok suppose i go for a nice second-hand mac with all the trimmings on ebay, and GET it hurrah, and it works fine for a week then breaks down: am i covered or am i fucked?

― mark s, Monday, 7 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

fucked. unless the seller is a particularly nice person. which is unlikely

stop bidding 4 days or 4 hours from the auction's end you fuckers, you're only driving up the price

― cozwn, Sunday, 4 October 2009 13:13 (fifteen years ago) link

20 secs left or gtfo

― cozwn, Sunday, 4 October 2009 13:13 (fifteen years ago) link

I hate when people do this. It makes no sense to drive up the price days before an auction ends.

― The ever dapper nicolars (Nicole), Sunday, 4 October 2009 13:15 (fifteen years ago) link

it drives me insane! we could all have a chance at a bargain but no the guy w/the deepest pockets wins

― cozwn, Sunday, 4 October 2009 13:17 (fifteen years ago) link

is it a hat

― conrad, Sunday, 4 October 2009 13:19 (fifteen years ago) link

― conrad, Sunday, 4 October 2009 13:31 (fifteen years ago) link

Minidisc? I had forgotten all about those.

just won an auction for this magnetic Newton's Cradle that I've been obsessively watching for days now. This has made me far more happier than it should have really!

― calzino, Wednesday, 8 December 2021 14:40 (three years ago) link

& if you’re anything like me you will continue to obsessively watch it for many days to come

― coombination gazza hut & scampo bell (wins), Wednesday, 8 December 2021 20:39 (three years ago) link
