Buying on Ebay can either be the best thing since sliced bread, or if you become compulsive about it, it can be your worst nightmare.

Being a seller for over 10 years (I think it's 10 years), I have only bought about 12 things in total. But I needed everything I bought. I am not the type to simply go to Ebay and say "oh, this is cute, let me get this". This makes no sense to me. But what my friend does also makes no sense to me either.

She watches QVC, or Home Shopping. She buys something every day. And I mean every day. Either it's jewelry, or it's a Pannini Press, but the best was the Seal A Meal that she got for $50.00 and never even opened up the box.
It was delivered and she promptly put it in her closet and that was 2 years ago.

She told me today, I have no room to put any of my clothes. I told her "why don't you sell your stuff on Ebay"? She says "Oh I can't be bothered".

In her closet there are 50 pairs of Easy Spirit Shoes. Thank God I wear a size 10. I never will have to buy another pair of sneakers. I either get my diabetic shoes from my insurance or I go to her house and she gives me brand new shoes. I have a white pair and a black pair of Easy Spirit. She can't stand them. She also has New Balance. She can't stand them either.

She just bought a new pair of shoes last week for $129.00. You guessed it. She can't stand them either. Last week there was a gold chain and some kind of diamond pendant thing.

She's not the only one I know who does this. My 75 year old neighbor around the corner has every catalogue known to man. You see, there aren't that many flea markets or garage sale by us, so it's either QVC, HSN, catalogues or EBAY. And my 75 year old friend doesn't do computers.
She does Harriet Carter, Lillian Vernon, etc.

She loves handy dandy kitchen gadget, AS SEEN ON TV products (just like I do). She has everything in her kitchen. If it's on tv, she has it.

The mops, the toaster oven, the doggie stairs, the gadget for this and the gadget for that. She could open up a gadget store.

So my dear Mrs. D. You are nowhere in the same league as these compulsive people. You go right ahead and go to EBAY and if you see something that you need, and it's a good price, and the guy has good feedback, then you should go for it.

Enjoy!!!

Me?? I wish I had my friend (with the shoes), well I wish I had her money. Her closet alone is worth a fortune. lol

Melody
P.S. I forget to mention that yesterday she went to Long Island, came home, called me up and said "Melody, I bought 3 pounds of coffee for $32.00. I said WHAT???? and she said "oh, they're fabulous. They are English Toffee, Amaretto, and some other kind. Can't remember.
But she's good. She always gives me little samples of the coffee. I must try the English Toffee
