I finally discovered eBay this past week.

Scary. Very scary.

Ended up, after several auctions that went badly, finding a version of the software I wanted (a discontinued recipe management program called Mastercook), at a price I thought was reasonable given the prices the thing had been getting, and then using the "buy it now" option.

I have little patience for this whole bidding thing, I guess.

No no no, you must buy MANY things on eBay...if for no other reason than to keep your cousin housed and fed. ;)

I've bought several things off of eBay...an amethyst pendant, silver chain to go with the pendant, various and sundry beads and pearls, rubber stamps, a pegasus, and a dragon figurine.... I've also sold some things - a Franklin planner and the planner pages that I won from a store last fall.

I need to get together some pics of some jewelry that I've made and try to sell that. Hrm.

I just have no patience for the thing, though. Without that 'buy now' button I'd have had to kill someone to get this program, and that would have been a Bad Thing.

Heh...yeah, I can see how that would hinder your life. :)

Do you know someone at Newsweek? I only ask because the current cover story is about eBay.... ;-)

I heard about that in the Media Notes column on the Post's web site. :) Does it look good, or is it scary?

I've read parts of it on the MSNBC site, and the stories I've seen have been positive. One of the pieces is a column by Steven Levy titled "How to Play the eBay Game", which totally made me think of you. ;-)
