Online bidding
I have gotten myself hooked on online bidding auctions. Did you know that you find practically everything imaginable at these auctions? Yeah of course you did. But I didn’t until quite recently. I’d always thought that those auction sites like Ebay.com and so on where this elaborate scheme to make people spend more money than they originally intended on stuff. Kinda lika real-estate brokers do to rev up prices for houses and condos. But it isn’t. I’ve made some pretty damned good deals on stuff off of auctions recently. Last month I snagged these beautiful Floorsheim boots in burgundy leather finish brand new in box at a half the price they retail for. Amazing. Right now there is an auction running for a Krell amplifier. Krell is like the Rolls-Royce of stereo equipment. At moment its resting comfortably at a price level even I can afford but I’m afraid it’s going to sky-rocket when the auction is approaching closure.
