Another day, another E-bay auction
I finally won something on E-bay.
It feels like a relief. I now no longer feel the crazy desire to hunt for and bid on everything. Maybe that's just how they get you. Maybe it then comes back to haunt you and consume you from the inside.
I wonder if that's what happened to those people who end up buying all that really weird stuff online. I was amazed, first off, at how many different sites come up when I searched a string as simple as weird e-bay auctions. I wonder if there is someone out there cruising that auction site for strange things, or if your average buyer just...runs into some of that stuff every once in a while. I'm too new to know.
Either that, or the people who submit auctions to those sites do so as a form of acting out, their own quiet way of trying to get attention for their problem. I am sure there is a form of addiction that centers on E-bay; my dark descent into constantly checking the auction is all the proof I need that that is the case.
Neither really explains why someone would want a ram's head snuff mull, whatever the heck that is. Or why one would want one that would cost $760. Or why one would value his ram's head snuff mull so highly that $760 would fail to meet reserve. Or, for that matter, why one who valued his ram's head snuff mull that much would want to get rid of it in the first place.
Ours is not to question why (ours, says the demon, is to buy buy buy!).
