Is it just me?

[Lee Gregory]

I'm sure this has been discussed before somewhere but does anyone else go on ebay in the evening after a few drinks and ending buying items you have no interest in?

Off work this week so had a few last night and ended up winning a few items I don't really care about.

Not spent too much I suppose but I just wondered if anyone else has ever had any mad moments on ebay when they've had 1 or 2 too many.

Lee - First rule. Dont go on Ebay pissed. Its gives a person dutch courage and you might not see your new acquisitions in the same light the next day. It might have happened to myself once or twice.
At least you didnt go over board. If its crap you dont need then just sell them on quickly.

It's not just you, you might find some variations in your new purchases

I have never purchased pissed but I did relist a item smashed once and I forgot to change the buy it now over to auction and ended up selling a lovely vintage carded raphael ninja turtle for 99p :shock: pissed me right off (lesson learnt!)

I saw the deal through though,it wasnt worth the negative I surely would of got if i'd pulled out,it did cross my mind though :evil:

Cheers 8)

 

[Lee Gregory]

Glad I'm not on my own then.

Thing is I've checked my ebay this morning and I've got bids on 4 of the guys loose vintage that finish this evening :roll:

Oh well,I'll wait and see what condition they are in when they arrive,don't think I've paid over the odds but not too sure as loose figures aren't my thing.

Lesson learnt!!!!!!!!!!

 

[chazgreentooth]

my first vintage buy was a loose vader, i was far from sober. Lmao :shock:

 

[sith-smith]

Well luckily I don't drink so won't have that worry.

i usually just forget to bid

Like I did yesterday on this piece...

Which I have been looking for, for over 18 months to complete my Palitoy diecast collection :evil:

 

[Lee Gregory]

Gary,

I don't know owt about diecast prices but at £51 that seems rather cheap :?:

 

[sith-smith]

yes

Hence I am even more gutted!!!

 

[spoons]

I was watching that too and forgot to bid - £55 was going to be my top bid because of the damage. Still a nice piece

 

[Ron]

I have bidded on loads of stuff pissed. Best not to go on ebay pissed

 

[weasel]

Only went on Ebay once when drunk, ended up pay £160 for a MOC that was worth £80 tops!

Lesson learnt!

 

[burnsy]

I've had many drunken nights on the bay, it is seriously dangerous.

I've honestly woken up and not known what I have bought the night before.

I'm sure we've all done it

 

[Ron]

That is bad burnsy if you wake up in the morning not remembering what you have bought

 

[burnsy]

It's been a long time since it's happened Ron, but it has happened mate :?

 

[Capetown]

It's been a long time since it's happened Ron, but it has happened mate :?

Did you fall asleep with your forehead on the 'enter' button Stu?

 

[burnsy]

:lol: :lol: Emiel, you know me to well fella.

 

[Dom]

Better Ebay than PKR

That being said, if your the sober one and the others on there are pissed it can be easy money

"I've honestly woken up and not known what I have bought the night before.
