eBay Addiction

I've finally jumped on the band wagon and started participating in the mass conglomeration that is eBay... and I think I'm addicted.
I've spent $150+ in the last 48 hours alone... and for me, that's a lot of money, considering I'm unemployed and living off of monthly financial aid benefits...
Does anybody else go on eBay shopping sprees, and if so, what type of nifty - weird - stuff have you bought?
So far, I've bought the Zelda's Collector's Edition for Gamecube... a bunch of Star Wars Imperial merchandise... and a Real Madrid soccer jersey emblazoned with David Beckham's name and number...

I just pretty much search for random stuff late at night and whatever's ending within the hour I bid on if it suits my flavor.

I'm addicted too, but I'm partial to Guinness paraphenalia.

Being a 14 year old teenager who doesn't have a credit card I just look at the pretty items on ebay....ooohhhh an ewok.

I check eBay regularly but never buy anything. I tried once to buy a complete run of The Maxx but wasn't present at the end of the bid so I lost.
Most of the time I'm looking at.......sigh.......choppers......CURSE YOU DISCOVERY CHANNEL!!!! I used to like sport bikes, and then I liked the plain unassuming motorcycle I had ('79 CB400 Nighthawk, looks like the motorcycles in Hanna Barbara cartoons), but now thanks to shows like Motorcycle Mania, The Great Chopper Build-Off, and American Chopper, I can't shake the desire for a chopper-nevermind the fact that I would look like a total poser on one. The little "Ken Burns" style montage my computer does for a screensaver is riddled with pictures of various choppers from eBay. (Mostly Triumphs and old school Harleys...I don't really like the fat tire choppers as much. Indian Larry's are pretty kick ass....I have no right to know who Indian Larry is.....ah well.....)
That and Manx Dune Buggies. Anything distinctly not practical, it appears...

I was addicted in college, and will probably be addicted now that I actually have a job.
I buy Beatrix Potter figurines. And CDs. And books. And anything cute that looks like a nice present. :rolleyes:
eBay is an awesome site, huge now though. But still outstanding.
