I like the fun of it-I really don't like to shop-or spend money that much.
Ebay
puts a little bit of fun into it. I usually watch the item, but don't bid
until the
last day. And I don't go over my limit. (I'm the same when I play the slot
machines
-two cups-one for the winnings I'm going to keep and the other for the money
I'm going to play with-and when that cup is gone, I leave.)
I was really happy to get my gear shift knob-I first saw it in TRF Christmas
catalogue-
it's like the original! But, when I found it on eBay-that was great! I
managed to get it for
$5 less than TRF (excluding S&H)-and that $5 less included postage! Yeah!!!
Another
eBay triumph (no pun) for the SpitfireGirl!
