Ebay
One thing that I pride myself on is having a level head. I have the ability to step away from the situation and look at it from a 3rd person perspective. Whether I am actually involved or not. Even though I don't always agree with the outcome, I can see how other people would react making me appreciate the other side of the argument. Sometimes this can be frustrating for others as I always tend to justify someone's actions by putting myself in their place and playing devils advocate. I always tend to give others the benefit of the doubt because I will run through different scenarios trying to figure why someone would act in that way. With my level headedness comes caution. I will weigh up the pros and cons of most decisions I make and will not be rushed into making any. However... I recently ebay.com again. I used it a long time ago to sell one thing only. An extra hockey ticket to a very important outdoor game called the Heritage Classic. Since that time I have always viewed it as a 'use with caution' service. Just because I had always thought it to be very risky way to spend your money. Not knowing if what you get will be what you bid on, if it works or if it's complete junk. Recently I was directed to this web site for something that I had been looking in to buying for a while. For some reason I thought that I would give it a go and bid on something. It was cheap enough I thought that if I did indeed get screwed over then i would learn my lesson and delete that web site forever, never to return again. Well I ended up winning that item and 17 more that week. Yes I was hooked. Some things I admit just aren't worth buying. By the time you add in the shipping and handling costs, it almost costs the same as if you were to go to a local store and buy with confidence. But recently ebay has been looked upon by some as a digital shop. Not just for auctions but lots of people run actual businesses on ebay. Buy in bulk, start the bidding low and sell as many as you got. After realizing that 17 in a week was a bit much I have scaled it back a little. My total purchases now are only 22 in about 3 weeks. As I always say, everything is good in moderation.
