Inebriation + Ebay = Danger

Post by Modern Drunkard »

I may be drunk at the moment, but I will not buy any kooky shit on Ebay. This is a promise I make to myself. Instead, I will bid on cool stuff like this excellent book flask.

Has anyone else woke up to discover they have bid on totally off the wall crap?

Ah eBay. One of the reasons I'm glad I don't have a credit card.
When I get one in a few months I will be flat broke within a month though.
I damn eBay even before it made me broke!

The problem is that when you wake up after a hard night on the sauce and see all the e'mails confirming your bids. Then you start sweating and hoping that someone out there is at least as drunk as you, and outbids you. Because all the stuff you have bid on is total utter crap :roll:
beer, wine,voddie it don't get any better.

No doubt. I bought a really cool french "Twin Peaks" poster from ebay last year while waging a personal war against a bottle of Bushmills. It's a really cool poster but why did I buy 4 of them????

I wanted a little abalone trivet. Worth maybe a few bucks. Some nutcase started a bidding war, and I was drinking, and before I got hold of myself I had bid over forty dollars. Thank god the other bidder was a certified looney and ended up paying almost fifty dollars. I still see him on there, bidding ludicrous amounts for trivets. Trivet boy, if you're out there--GET HELP!

Indeed Palinka. In ORSTRALIA we spell ass as A-R-S-E.

Maybe trivet boy was more inebriated?

my father bought a binocular's flask once online. don't think it was e-bay, but it pretty cool. feels heavy like real binoculars, even has real glass lenses, but you just cant see thru them. you screw off the eyepieces and fill 'er up. great for sporting events or drinking and driving in the wilderness... "have you been drinking?"

"no officer, feel free to check the car. do you like my new binoculars. no that isn't .22 casing, its my sons nosering, yeah, his nosering."
