I always promise myself, this time, Im not going to spend my money on myself. Then, today I go out shopping and I completly lose it. I bought a J.Lo, Britney, and Chippendales calendar (Meangya, I got the old ones from 2002 still on April..) 4 shirts, 1 fleece pullover, a pillow, 2 pens, a dog toy (for my dogs..LOl), thin CD cases, a Britney single CD, and 3 bags. That makes a grandtotal of 5 new bags this week. Im such a bag freak! Anyways.. do you spoil yourself even though you say youre going to save it?

Now all my $$ is gone..:crying:

If I had money I would.

Yup, I can't save my money...I needta tho.

I like expensive things, and I buy things when I see them, I can't wait a few days to go to a cheaper store

Yeah. im insane on ebay.

I spoil myself all the time.

See my problem is I don't know how to stop. I'll go to ebay and I'll find something that I absolutely want. I'll save a shortcut to the desktop and I'll keep my eye on the auction. During the last hour, if I'm home I'll try to watch the auction page. I refresh it like a million times and let's say if someone raises the bid to about 20 bucks. You have about 10 minutes left before the auction ends. I'll bid just the increments. I'm not about to raise it to 40 bucks. I'll have my set limit. I will bid until I get to 30 bucks. If 30 bucks isn't the highest bid, I'll stop. I never can do that. I'll get to 30 bucks and I start to thinking that I will kick my own ass if the bid is 31 bucks and I would've had it if I had just bidded one more time. So I always go in debt when it comes to ebay. lol

Well, I just spent $76 on 4hrs worth of Richard Dawson's tv appearances. So yeah, I spoil myself quite a bit. :D

Oh, and I just bid $60 for something on ebay. Do I have $60? No, but I have credit. Bad habit. :nonono:

yes. I have a bad habit of buying a CD like every time i go shopping.

:lol: I spoil myself... on food, that is. :liplick: :liplick: Otherwise, I'm not much of a squanderer (sp?). I'm cheap. :D

my sig is preety!!!

I was bidding for a Kelly autograph 1 time and it was $20 and some1 outbid me so i bidded $45 and i won lol. Then when i had to pay i only had like $50 and there were a few other things i had to pay for so i needed like $20. lol that wasnt very good planning. Awhile ago i almost got kicked offa ebay cuz i would bid on SO many things, then i'd be like "i just wont get that and that and i'll pay for this and this when i have enuff money" and i got reported lol.

I have to hide my own money from myself. You know those brown paper bags? That's what I hide it in. I bought 2 or 3 pics and that's how I would keep track. I'd put the cash to cover the Burgess Meredith picture in the brown paper bag and write 'Burgess pic' on the front of it. Then I'd hide it in a notebook so I won't spend that money.

I try to budget the stuff and it never comes out right. I got some Christmas money and of course I went wild at ebay and I wrote down everything that I wanted to bid on and added the prices up. Then I'd have to eliminate stuff and that always sucks. I did get a bunch of loot, so I'm happy about that.

Ooh, since you brought up feedback in another post let me add this. I am very good with giving out feedback. It royally pisses me off when I leave someone feedback and they don't leave me feedback. I should've already gotten a new star. I've got a blue star now. What comes after the blue stars?

nope I dont I spoil my Nieces and Nephews with My money

LOl. I had much worse than that!!:eek:

I lied... Im still banned.:( Funny, because I was able to do it a few months ago. Ohhhh I remember now!! Because it was the EbAy STORE!

I can bid! I can bid!!! Im not allowing myself though to look for my TV show stuff. I want it.. but I know how I am. I just bought the Avril CD off EbAy and am now bidding on a Britney CD single. I need to join an Ebay Anonymous or something LOl.

I just bought the Justin CD too. I need to stop! LOl. But, Im buying them cheaper then what theyd cost @ a store. S&H included.

The reason i bidded on stuff, than changed my mind is, I Thought about it and...How do we know we can trust these people?

I just bid on the J to Tha Lo! Remix CD. Eh, only $4. Why not?

Must.....stop....bidding..Lol

Im bidding on hair extensions for $5 and 4678 Kelly magazine clippings for $7.25 and now 9 for $2 cuz thats a good price and i lost mine. So thats 14.25 and only have $4 right now but i'm gonna get $9 real soon so i'll have $13. lol i'll guess i'll hafta postpone a payment for a few days.

I'm lucky because I'm in a position where I have a steady income and I'm pretty much able to buy myself whatever I want, whenever I want. Having said that, I haven't really spoiled myself much recently. I've pretty much got all the stuff I want now so I'm pretty cool with what I have.
When I first got my job I went a bit crazy with my money. My parents are tight b@stard$ and never gave me a decent allowance so when I started earning my own money I thought "great. Now I can finally get what I want!"
I bought loads of new clothes, a big stereo system, a widescreen TV, 2 DVD players (and I now have over 70 DVD's), a new VCR, a Gameboy Advance and about 11 games and I got digital satelite TV installed in my bedroom.

I am the same with you guys about Ebay....I go insane...People don't realize how addictive it is! I have gotten alot better than how I used to be but I still can't resist... And with the Vivien Leigh photo's I go bonkers.... They had a Vivien and Larry autograph and I bid upto $250...I'm glad I didn't win that. I'm selling a few things now but noone is bidding! I hope it's not the one negative in my feedback! I was so mad, It was the day before my vacation and I told him I wouldn't know if I won so I would send the payment after...So a few days later no reply so I think he just said whatever...I send payment...then they want to know where it is! I tell them I send a money order...they call me all sorts of names and I told them if they didn't beleive me i would send them a new money order with a copy of the receipt from the last one! But they TOTALLY ignored me...left negative feedback and called SafeHarbour on me...great. I can really hates ebayers sometimes...you never know how there gonna be..

ugh yes I have had many problems with ebay. OK so I bidded on something for about 500$ knowing I only had 20$ I told my mom and she wouldn't pay so I never contacted that person or anything and ugh they got me one warning. I got kicked off so go figure the other 2 warnings. :rolleyes: :lol: :D

If you look through the completed items, the basket used in the filming was sold recently...I'm currently trying to negociate with him for a small broken peice of it....

ok and i def. misread this topic....

The most I've ever spent on eBay was probably 20 bucks. Anymore than that and I'll refuse to bid. :lol:

Another word...well a few words lol- A dollar has no value if you never spend it...

Yes...... Everytime I end up going into Barnes and Nobles for ONE book, I come out with 5. Same with CD's. I'll go on these huge CD binges. Last time I spent like $88 dollars. The time before that like $180. My parents have charge cards for clothes though.

But I'm starting to save my money. I want a nice car.

i honestly dont think i spoil myself too much. its my money so.....i can buy myself stuff.

right around christmas time i spent all my money on other people. (but i did buy myself a shirt, but i loved it so much)

after xmas i got all this nice cash, so i went to the mall and spent alot of it (mostly clothes, i did buy sunglasses & signs) i did buy my mom this stuff animal she wanted

im going to the mall in an hour and i have 50 bucks... ill let u know how much i come back with. lol

Not really unless I'm in one of my moods. And I am in one now...and I'm going out sometime soon...

You just have to trust the feedback. Before I bid, I always check out the feedback. I really wished ebay had an option where you could click on negative feedback and get all of a person's neg. feedback all together. It's a pain in the butt to scroll through feedback for someone that has 10,000+.

I agree so much on that! Yahoo Auctions let you see all the negs alone...I wish ebay would do that. I have been burned twice on ebay...thats the only bad part about it.

I listed 4 auctions the other day and there ending soon....still no bids...I wish I had a COA for the Lucille Ball worn braclet....agh

I hate when people don't bid on my stuff. It's frustrating. I finally got some bids on my ILL tapes. But NEVER sell clothes on there. Waste of time.

I've only been half burned once on ebay. It took forever to get what I had bought from this one seller and the whole auction was just a pain in the ass. I didn't fully get ripped off. At least I got something. I left the person a Neutral feedback. That's the only bad feedback I've ever left for anybody. He deserved it, though. It took forever to get one picture. If I hadn't received the pic at all, I would've left a neg.

I've never sold anything on ebay. I've never tried to sell anything on ebay. I just buy stuff and go into debt. At least if you sell stuff, you can make a bit of a profit back.

I alway's spoil myself, Whatever I want i always get ..My next thing i'm gonna buy for myself is a CD Burner for my Computer..and I also want a Laptop Computer hehe!!!!:talk:

I just bought myself a new CD player, 2 shirts, and uhh thats about it. Tomorrow Im gonna make an appt. to get my nails done. Im also going bowling.

I got a credit card a couple years ago. It took me a matter of months to max it out. I haven't let myself get another.


I am crazy when it comes to clothes, shoes, makeup. One day last summer, I went to the mall and came home with a bag of new clothes and like 8 new pairs of shoes. I only buy things that are on sale or clearance.....but LOOK OUT if you find me in the mall on a sale day. I'll be the one piled so high with clothes that you won't be able to see my head....but you'll hear me. "Get out of my way. I've gotta get more clothes!!!" *shudders* I can get pretty ugly at times. But now i'm saving up for a trip to Paris during Spring Break so hopefully, for once in my life, I'll be able to save my money. I SO want to go to Paris.

Do you have to pay in order to sell on eBay? If so, how much?

Well, I'm about to go to ebay. Let's just hope I don't go entirely crazy and spend more than I have to spend. So far I haven't beat the system. I always overspend.

Originally posted by Jo's the bomb

They charge .$30 an item (maybe more for things over $10, I can't remember) and if you sell it, they take a small share of the profits.

Cool! I want to go to NYC so bad. But, I never have a day off. I'm either at work or school. And I'm running out of legitimate excuses for not attending classes (I must have set a record by now). But, I definitely have to go. I also HAVE to fly out to Ca. so I can meet some celebs. ;)


OOoooOOOOoo....I was going through my stuff in my room and found a brand new skirt with the tags still on it that I forgot that I bought. It was like "Merry Christmas to me" all over again! :woohoo: That's how bad I am at shopping. I buy so much that I totally forget what I bought. :crazy:
