I really, really like eBay for all of the screaming deals you can find if you have the time and energy to look and bid.
Before Morgan was born, I found a brand new changing table on there for only $14 and cheap shipping. I also found a cute crib set that was brand new that was more than 70% off. I've sold a lot of Kendle's old baby clothes and things she's grown out of on eBay that I thought were too nice to just give away. In short, I think it's just about one of the coolest things out there.
Last night however, my happy go-lucky attitude about eBay was thrown aside as I went into an intense bidding war on an item. What is it in our human nature that makes it impossible for us to give up when we find something we want? I knew it wasn't personal, there was a complete stranger on some other computer somewhere clicking buttons about as fast as I could and just as annoyed every time the "you've been outbid" notification flashed on the screen. Regardless, my competitive edge reared it's ugly head and I was determined to get that last bid in before time ran out.
AND I DID!
With 13 seconds left, I entered the winning bid. Thank goodness for my quick typing skills and fast internet connection.
VICTORIOUS!
