Auction Fever

It's happened again. I am obsessed with Ebay. I used it for the first time ever this past December and loved it. The problem is that I am way too competitive. I do have my limits, but I definitely go right up to them. In the last few days I have won five items. All things I really like, but nothing actually useful. One stuffed bear dressed like a bee, three pieces of folk art and a cake plate. Somebody stop me. Is there a support group for people like me?
I also love getting packages in the mail. Is there a separate group for that?

I'm with you on the package thing. I anxiously watch for the mailman and UPS man everyday, and am quite disappointed if they don't stop.

My dh is addicted to ebay - but he's the opposite of you. He searches the house for things to sell! Right now, he's trying to buy a car on ebay. :)

Me too - love getting packages. Online shopping is sinful. Ebay is worse. Today I found a package addressed to me and I honestly had no idea what it was, just that I knew it was "something I won on Ebay". *sigh*
