Auctions websites   

Hi everyone!

Do you use auction websites? Personally, I spend way too much money on Yahoo Auctions. When I need something, I often try to buy it at the cheapest price from the internet. Unfortunately, while browsing the internet for things I need, I often find myself tented to buy some other things that I come across and that I don't really need. There are so many interesting offers, especially on Japanese auction sites. It's rarity in abundance. I don't consider myself a shopaholic, but I am a big vintage guitars enthusiast and, when I see all these beautiful old axes (slang for "guitars"), it is sometimes too hard to resist.

The concept of "active buying" rather than the usual passive shopping is also quite appealing: At auctions, bidders have to be smart and patient and use tactics in order to get what they want for a good price. The problem is that those websites are too convenient. It is virtually like having every stores in the world at home.
However, if your mind is stronger than mine and you can draw a line between the things that you need and those you don't, I think that buying from the internet is a good way to save money.

See you soon at CCC!
