When will you overpay?

[bbcard1]

Generally on Wednesdays....

No, seriously, my "danger sign" is when I have been through a dry spell or I go to a show and find little that I am interested in. It's sort of a "girls all get prettier at closin' time" mentality.

Realistically, I am most likely to "overpay" for the things I get cheaply...you know sometimes you say,"I really don't need that, but man, that's just too cheap not to buy." So you pick it up and then it lives forever in a shoebox without being looked at or appreciated again.

I overpaid for this:





But, I wanted it almost to the point of needing it. I still look at it once a week. Is there a support group for this sort of behavior?

I received an ebay gift card for X-mas, so I soon may be overpaying again.

That is an awesome postcard. Never seen that before.

LOL! I can relate.

I've got a whole storage room which is a testament to this mentality.

I'm a sucker for those big Leland's photo lots. I just can't pass them up because they are so cheap.................then I get them in and realize maybe 10% of them aren't complete junk.................or that I don't really need 100 photos of the same obscure and unpopular boxer, no matter how cheaply they were obtained, and my storage room has just become that much smaller.
