eh-hem

hello, my name is gleek and i’m addicted to ebay. i have a bad BAD habit.. i know it yet i’m unable to stop myself. it calls to me at night. says things like “you can get that for less here” or “you can find three different varieties of that here” and i have which is why i can’t stop. it always delivers. i’ve bought so many things on ebay that my feedback score of 97 is all because i’m a great customer.

i’ve bought:

  • a dresser
  • killer herman miller chairs
  • clothing
  • beading supplies
  • knitting supplies
  • fabric
  • bags
  • electronics
  • macrame plant hangers
  • art

the list is endless. the worst part is that i’m unable to stop myself from pushing my habit on other people. i could give drug dealers a run for their money! i’ve even managed to get my cousin completely addicted. she now spends more time on ebay than i do! so when i’m online late at night looking at a collection of double pointed knitting needles or canon eos digital cameras you know that my habit is raging.

in order to keep it in perpetuity (because god knows that i’m not giving it up.. WITHDRAWL, PEOPLE! it’s scary!) i’ve decided to start sharing my favorite ebay sellers here. if only ebay had a list system like amazon’s listmania. they’d clean up.

today’s hot picks:

KP is leaving me to travel for work in two weeks and that means that i’ll have lots of free time to be spent making stuff (and watching TV!) so hopefully the gallery will fill up with tons of great things just in time for spring. stay tuned!
