Luckily, Mrs Pablo hasn’t minded the influx of surplus gear, camping supplies and sharp, shiny things over the last couple of years but I do appreciate the problems some people have. I still have to justify it to myself though. So whatever category you fall under I’ve compiled a helpful list of purchase excuses specifically tailored for Ebay purchases:

It wasn’t me.
I hit the wrong button.
I wanted to see how much the reserve was
I wanted to see how much the hidden bid was.

A big bloke forced me to do it.
My finger slipped.
It was a bargain.
It was two-for-one.
You won’t find one of these anywhere.

Someone else would have got it.
I’ve always wanted one.
I can always sell it on (for a profit)
It will increase in value.

Everyone else has got one.
Nobody else has got one.
It’s essential.
It cost less than your hair products.

This time I used “It was a bargain” but I could have used, “I’ve always wanted one”.

Pablo.
