    Ebay

    Ebay is bad bad bad bad!!! Especially around xmas time, cuz I just dropped a boat load of money into ebay within the last 4 hours, since getting to work. Got lots of xmas shopping done though!

    Picked up some cheap N64 games for my son.....got some Jim Shore figurines for the wife, a Canon photo printer for the wife as well......a Santa figurine for my grandmother...1st season of Nip/Tuck for myself.....bad bad bad.

    Its also amazing what XBOX 360s are listed for already on ebay...CRAZY

    So who else goes crazy on ebay?

    Yeah I hear that, yesterday I spent like $150 on eBay out of the blue buying accessories for my new PPC-6700 cell phone. But the good news is I hedge my bets by selling on eBay too :) I've got like 8 or 9 auctions going right now.

    yeah I went a little crazy on Ebay earlier this semester. Sucks because now I've got to budget my food money for the next month. And I still have to buy beer too.

    Theres still a few things I need to buy though. Specifically Super Smash Bros. for N64
