Never fuck around on Ebay under the influence of narcotics

Ebay makes finding hard to find car parts easier. I think a lot of old cars would remain unrestored if the internet didn't exist. It's very good and bringing markets together on obscure stuff.

What makes me laugh about Ebay is I've seen bidding wars go out of control on used items to where the price is higher on Ebay than it is from a retailer for new. I've seen this happen several times and I just shake my head.

My lesson learned...
May back was killing me three nights ago and I couldn't sleep so I took a couple Vicodin and went out into the living room to my laptop. I innocently began checking out Ebay listings for guitars.
I wound up bidding on a bass guitar that I liked but can't really afford. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
When I woke up I realized my mistake but no worries, The opening bid was reasonably low and mine was only the second of the auction. I'll be outbid within hours.
Well, as luck would have it, Nobody else bid and 3 days later I am the proud new owner of a G&L ASAT bass in butterscotch blonde. A nice piece at a decent price but FUCK!

The same advice holds true when picking women up at bars. You wake up in the morning and look at what you spent the night with and go Oh Fuck!

I found a neck-thru-body JB Player Strat on eBay last year. Got snipe at literally the last fucking second....dude got it for 300 bucks. I have two already, but they are incredibly good guitars, not well known, and there are not many to be found. Oh and inexpensive as a result.

I was pissed off. I wanted it.

Congrats on the new bass, lol. Fucking drug addict.

I've had pretty good luck with Ebay, knock on wood...
Most people (myself included) will be pretty honest and careful when selling on Ebay because the internet can be a ruthless fucking place. Once somebody feels even the slightest dissatisfaction they will motherfuck a seller to the ends of the net and back without a second thought.
