I got ebayed... *

There should be warnings on the site.**

I only looked out of curiosity.

Still I'm quite proud of winning the auction with by a sneaky £1.01, the guy who bid £100 must be gutted.


* Ebayed: "I'm just going to have a look around. Oh maybe I'll put a bid in for this. What outbid, I'M NOT GOING TO LET THE FUCKER OUTBID ME. BID BID BID DAMMIT. 24 SECONDS TO GO? BID AGAIN. DON'T YOU DARE OUTBID ME YOU FUCKERS, I WANT IT, IT'S MINE, GO AWAY. I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO STOP AND THINK IF I REALLY NEED IT, I'M JUST GOING TO BID, BECAUSE YOU FUCKERS AREN'T GOING TO OUTBID ME NO MATTER WHAT. YAAAAH. Ooops, look what I bought."

** Browsing ebay can lead to accidental purchases

[UPDATE] I don't know why I forgot to mention it, but I was the browsing when I found the snow occurred after I put my little Sony boom box cd player up for sale. Help pay for a piece of my board by buying this little gem.

I propose that you edit this post to say “…winning the action BY a sneaky £1.01…”

Otherwise it sounds like you trumped his £100 bid with a bid that was smaller by £98.99.

Which makes no sense. That was my first clue.

The guy you were bidding against was pobably the vendor, and he’s had the last laugh since it was only worth £50!

Ross: Naw, if that’s in remotely good nick I reckon it’s a good buy…

Adrian: Looks like you’re thinking about having another crack at the snowboarding thing, eh? Such ideas always come easier after the bruises on your arse have gone down and you start to remember the fun bits. In my experience, anyway. I must say that it’s nice to have your own kit.

eBay is dangerous. i have an utterly unnecessary desire for this item.

i don’t need it, wouldn’t use it, but it’s SO pretty!
