I have had one of those weeks, where I keep winning items, and then wonder why did I bid on that?? It seemed like a good idea at the time, but not now. lol Anyone ever had one of those weeks?

    The worst thing is when the box is stuffed to the brim with bubble mailers, I bust open the envelopes and don't remember even bidding on half the stuff. Can't tell you how many times I've sat on the couch trying to figure out exactly what train of thought I was riding when I decided to make that bid....

    I think the ebay watchlist is great for these situations ... I see a card I may want, and decide to watch it. Every day I check my list and delete half of the watched items.

    I'm in such a phase now. I like everything I won and all, but looking at my checkbook today, I couldn't help but think that I really didn't need everything I've bought. I'm going to have to force myself to refrain from any Baseball Pre-1930 searches until my next payday.

    I have done this too often! I keep telling myself no more buying. Lately I just haven't been searching on eBay. If you don't look, you won't buy. Much easier said than done.
