My name is Arthur... And I am a shop-a-holic! I would look at Pacemakers when I had one coming in the mail! And put them on my watch list! I have eleven guitars, and I am shopping for More! Is there any help for me? [Just a random thought to get my post-count up? No! This is a serious condition for which there is no known cure. But the condition can be arrested, and then recovery is possible... :p ] | ||

So I don't tell... Nobody wants my Celebrities anyway! :( | ||

I think it's a much broader-scoped addiction, more like "GAS Anonymous," because the temptation can strike from more than one direction, eBay being only one of many. If I really wanted to resist it in all its nefarious forms, I'd avoid this place like the plague--but I'm not!! :D :D ;) --Karen | ||

Joined: November 2006 Posts: 2241 Location: Simpsonville, SC | I agree with Mark, four of six guitars purchased from OFC members. OMA, maybe you better find an OFC Anon group locally that is affiliated with the eBay Anons. Maybe I better do that too....after this next one that I want is no longer available... maybe I shouldn't be here at all.....nah! Signed, Hopelessly Addicted :confused: | ||

Now I have eight, and some others have come-n-gone. But this is a Good Thing! Otherwise I would just Waste my money! Bye-bye $$$ | ||

Joined: July 2007 Posts: 423 Location: UK | This is how it works for me buying anything , you set an imaginary budget for the money you havnt got , obsessivly look on ebay ( mostly in work time ) , only ever want what is at least a third above the imaginary budget for the money you havnt got anyway , decide on the one thats the most hassal to get ie is pick up only at least 400 miles from where you live and then convince yourself that you deserve and need this new object in your life at what ever the cost emotionally , physically and financially , heck im even crossing the Atlantic to see what Trader Jim has for me not to mention picking up my 1537 from Woz | ||
