A Woman’s Diary

I’ve said it over and over on pretty much all my blogs, Ebay gets so friggin addicting!! I swear that’s all I think about now. I’m constantly bidding on things I find which I only purchase if it’s new. Sorry, I don’t really like second hand things so dvds, cds, jewelry, etc all have to be brand new in order for me to buy them.

I’m currently bidding on a few dvds and two video games. I think the two video games I won’t be bidding on anymore as it has passed my maximum bid. They still are at great prices compared to what you would buy in the stores, but I’ll just wait until it goes on sale because I’m in no rush for them.

Then there are a few movies I’m bidding on that were just released not too long ago. I’m just waiting for the last few minutes of the auction before I raise my bid again because I know people will want to outbid me. So I trick I have learned is to don’t bid until the last minute. That’s why it’s important to watch items you want.

I always search for things I want and then check out the last minute deals. That way I almost always end up winning the auction. Of course I end up feeling bad for the person I outbid because sometimes you can see that they have repeatedly bid on that item as if they really wanted it that bad. LOL! So ya…there’s some guilt after you outbid on last minute deals. Oh well…there’s usually more items like it anyways.

Everyone has a favourite store. My has to be Future Shop. Yes, in case you don’t recognize the name, it’s a Canadian electronics store.

Future Shop is where I go to when I need to buy games, videos, music, electronics, cameras, flat panel televisions, ink cartridges, blank cds, and other goodies. They have everything I need for entertainment. I guess you can say they are similar to Best Buy in the states.

The only thing sucky right now with Future Shop is that they no longer have free shipping in Canada. I was a big buyer online and now I’m not because it’s stupid how they changed it for people to pay shipping. I guess I’ll just drive the whole three minutes away to the Future Shop close to my house whenever I need something.

But still…I like it when it came to the door. LOL!

Whenever I go to my cousin’s house and play their xbox 360, I usually end up losing on whatever game we are playing…even if it’s the EXACT game I have for ps2.

My cousin and I play Need for speed against each other and with ps2, I can finish first each and everytime. While playing on the xbox 360, I can’t even get across the finish line without messing up. Maybe it’s the controllers or something.

But man, it’s friggin annoying even though I KNOW I can come in first. *sigh*
