My Ebay Addiction

[kam05]

OK, I know eBay has been around for a couple of years now, but recently, I have found myself searching for items that perhaps I could have done without.

Over the last month, I have bought:

- A nokia car charger. It was cheap, at £1.99 inc p&p.

- A Belkin pci wireless network card. Ok, I actually needed this, as my laptop doesn't have a built-in wireless network card and I needed it for my wireless router.

- A set of genuine denso sk20r11 (Toyota) spark plugs. Didn't actually need these yet, as I only serviced my car last month, but at £18 inc p&p for a set of genuine plugs I couldn't help myself.

And yesterday I bought a genuine IS200 boot mat/liner. Had been on the look out for one for a while, since I spotted this one on eBay, I thought why not. Dealer wants £80 for one!

I'm regularly searching for bits, spares, parts etc for my IS200.

Gotta stop this as its starting to hurt my credit card!!!

Did the guy with the spark plugs have more than one set for sale? If so could you post a link to the page?

[Tuff]

You think you've got it bad, the amount of things i've brought for my lex is untrue but all near enough brand new. so i cant really complain as its saving me a few hundred quid

Got my plugs from here. Not sure if he has anymore, although he has a lot a genuine Lexus stuff.

cheers Kam.

I know what you mean about the addiction, have bought & sold my fair share of crapola on there. Have had a couple of good buys too though, not as good as what I've had from on here: The exhaust, I/K, Strut, Sport Springs.

Join the club. Think I'm gonna fire up a forum for Spendaholics Anonymous.

I'm sure people may have noticed my recent, excessive expenditure lol :)

Did Raz advertise his socks on eBay ?

I got into fishing and pretty much bought everything to do with fishing off eBay. Only used it a few times and now it just sits in the garage after I realised I'm not into fishing at all. I also used to search for Lexus parts etc but then I found other ways and means to waste all of the banks money

Addicted is not the word....

I buy lots of stuff for myself as well as family members.. 8 parking sensors still on their way for £27 inc postage can't be bad.

I had the same addition as Adie but for Subbuteo.

Bought loads of stuff then only used it once.

I have a 'thing' for numbers, like £55.55, or £567.89.

Once bought set of Speakers (for house) for £777.77.

Yeah, I know, I have expensive tastes! (Yamaha NS1000Ms; have beryllium cones! Rigid, yet lighter than a butterfly's wing!)

Most expensive thing -again speaker.--...£4,250! (Apart from LS of course)

JUST fitted them into the Lexus in component parts; Bass units took up the WHOLE of the boot!

Watch out for scams though. Guy bid on identical speakers recently.

I was suspicious, as; a/ they were 'in Spain'; b/ there was no Paypal choice. I even sent bidder a warning! He ignored it and lost £2000!!!

But eBay is bad for your health! You get tempted by all sorts of stuff you don't REALLY need!

They should abolish eBay. I've been a member for 2 and a half years and spent over 200 thousand pounds!!! Yes 200 NOT 20!

At least my feedback is still 100%, very hard to mantain. 718+ points too.
