I must be going through a phase or something, but I can't keep myself from bidding on stuff.

It's not as if any of the things I've bought recently are necessary. Brake cables for my bike - that's about it.

I bought a bullhorn - why? WTF do I need a bullhorn for?
Half the reason it appealed was because of the Chinese seller's description of the item.
"Lightweight and portable, perfectly for a talk or speech in meeting, assembly, propaganda...etc"

I bought a shit jump bike frame, although the one I've got is perfectly fine, I'm not planning to build a new bike anytime soon and if I did I'd need the rest of the bits off a bike to make it.

What's worrying me is the auctions that haven't ended yet. If I win those things are going to get a little expensive! :(

Do any of you have the same problem?

nope, ive been registered on the local equivalent of ebay since 2004 and only made 50 trades.

not sure about ebay, but i know on the site i use you can contact the seller and ask them to withdraw your bid before the auction ends.

haha what propaganda will you spread

I can afford it, for now anyway, so it's not that much of a problem. It's just annoying, though. I don't buy stuff in the shops so easily, but sitting here in my comfort zone and clicking a button instead of dealing in cash is too easy.

I didn't win the GPSr I was after, which is a little disappointing as some bastard used a last second bid thing. I was looking forward to trying out geocaching (http://www.geocaching.com/)

haha what propaganda will you spread
I'm not too sure. I had visions in my head of standing on a step, a little higher than everyone else and talking passionately about something. A Chinese guy telling me that I had the power to spread propaganda gave me a lift. Other than that, I liked the idea of scaring the shit out of my friends with it and saying "This is the police!". It comes with a wristband thing so I thought I could maybe attach it to a belt and try to look important.

haha what propaganda will you spread

doesn't Scotland want to be independent from England or something like that? So you would have enought to shout about...

Edit: back to topic: No, I don't know how you feel for I have only twice bought something over ebay (or equivalent): old pc games :-)

Do you need monny? I will give you money.

Yes, apparently they are re-building Hadrians Wall.

Ditto me. I'll even change religion for money. Lutheran, Shi'ite, JW, whatever. It's all good if Geoff gets thu green.

I also suggest that Phonetic turn his finances over to me.

Peace,

Geoff
