This is What happened if you happened to be a Newbie! (@ebay!)

I just signed up at ebay few days ago.
Why? I was not interested in it at all these few years!
FYI, I browsed ebay for the first time about 2-3 years ago, when I was looking to buy a new phone.

Ok, here's the story how I got an ebay membership.....

There is a new release of this packaged CD-DVD, containing music, game, and some kind of drama (vocal only).
I was looking foward to buy this for months.
I usually pre-order it months before it's released, as I've been buying products from this publisher for quite some time now.
The last time I pre-ordered was about 3 months back, I ordered it just one or two weeks before the product is released, and I actually got the product.

Soooo....
I did the same with this one, ordering it just exactly one week before its released.
And I know you all can guess the outcome, they are currently out of stock, the orders they are getting are overflowing.
Oh right, I didn't anticipated this one. It is true that this one will be twice as popular from the previous two I ordered and I didn't think about it at all until this happened, so immature of me.

At first I was kind of giving up to get it.
But when I was browsing the internet, I saw these limited edition items that you can get by pre-ordering! Oh My God......
I can't resist anymore, I gathered all my courage to browse around and look for anyone who sell it!

I found one in Japan, but they don't do international shipments, pity.
Then I found some in..... ebay.com.au! Banzai!!!!
They did overcharge me though, as expected, well, at least I created my chance to own this item!
Ok, ebay required me to sign up before I can proceed with my purchase.
So that's how I ended up having an ebay account, with accidental ID name of iyos3663!

So that's finished....
What happened after that?
Oh my, ebay got so many products, with unbelievable prices!
So I browsed myself, wishing to find a bedside table and a coffee machine, and ended up looking at iPad and iPhone 4!
iPads prices are really pricey, even if they are on low price, I still can't afford it.
How about iPhones? The 3GS models are surely cheap, but look at those iPhone 4s prices!
Most of them are on the $1k band, some might be cheaper on $800s.
I found one BRAND NEW iPhone 4 32GB on $380!
I was too tempted and bid, bid, and bid until it got to $420.
Let's see the outcome in 2 days, when the bid will end, I won't spend more than $500 for this though, haha.....
Will be my luck if I can get this iPhone 4, hope it won't be bad as it's issued. ^^
