A friend who knows my deplorable addiction to online auction sites sent me this hilarious song called "eBay" by Wierd Al Yankovich", so I thought I'd pass it on

I also use ebay, but I would not say I am addicted to it. I got a great deal on many hardware items for our new house. You have to watch the currency exchange and customs though (if you buy internationally) I also got a pretty good deal on some HF books that are currently out of circulation as well. Wierd Al is pretty funny though! My favorite songs by him are "Like a surgeon" and "Another One Rides the Bus"

I usually bid on (surprise) books more than anything else., but I know just what Weird Al means when he talks about the sniper attack. I've always thought of it as the shark attack. It's when you lurk at your computer just at the closing time for bidding- just under the surface of the water (cue, music from "Jaws"). Just as the highest bidder feels comfortably complacent that they've won, you leap out of the water and strike with the highest and final winning bid.Posted by Vanessa

Must be the primeval thrill of the hunt!
