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.

Alright, that was absolutely hilarious… nice going!
Had to make something up myself once to the wife around eBay!

LOL! I’ve been there myself a time or two.
There’s also the “accidental” winning of two similar (if not same) auctions because of the risk of getting sniped in the final seconds.
More than once I’ve come home with two of something when I was looking for one.
Fantastic post.
