Just been on ebay and bought a 1.2M tall wooden giraffe. Why I don't know lol.

Any others made silly purchases for no apparent reason.

Been drinking by any chance

When it arrives just say " I saw this on E-bay and thought you might like it dear "

I've sold a few handbags on Ebay that I bought at charity shops or boot sales. One I bought for £4.99 and sold it for £70 and another I bought from a boot sale for a fiver and sold it for £60. My best sale ever was a Mulberry wallet that I picked up at an animal charity shop for 25p and sold it for £25!!!!!



On the flipside, I have bought some real munters!!! rrr:

I remember a few years ago, staying up until 3am waiting for an auction to end on a book I'd spotted for Geordie. It felt like winning the lottery. :cool4:

got quite drunk the once and bought a 1969 VW Karmann Ghia convertable from e-bay.

woke up in the morning and I was still the winning bidder, remember watching the auction clock tick away hoping someone would outbid me.

I still have it in my garage, although I haven't driven it for a couple of years now

Thank God I'm not the only muppet on this forum.

I have a whole drawer full of useful USB type computer leads etc from EBay.

Haven't found a use for most of them... Yet....

How much did this splendid purchase set you back??

Not too bad £40.00 with free postage.

 

[Marvo]

Wow, you spent £40.00 on a wooden giraffe. Dead man walking, your other half is going to do some serious damage. I can only advise you point blank lying about the price when she asks you.

 

[Sintra]

Problem is Marvo I'm back over to work on Monday so this thing will arrive and probably have a dirty big invoice attached to it lol.

 

[Robotstar5]

Post christmas you see the "unopened presents" on there, the seller claims not to know what they contain (yea right) one recently went just over £90!

 

[tidyboiler]

Probably all tat from the pound shop. :svengo:

 

[dan86]

in a moment of madness when I was younger, I was watching an auction on a quad bike.
At the very last second, I bid a ridiculous figure to ensure I got it.
luckily it only ended up being about £900, and I obviously won it.
spent just about every minute I could on it for about 6 months, then the novelty wore off and I sold it.
got a good return on it though

 

[Sintra]

Well it's arrived lol.
