Drunken Ebay Bids and/or Purchases

[Smokin Joe]

I thank the Lord I gave up drinking before the internet and text messaging. I'd be banned from every forum going, no woman would ever talk to me again and I'd be bankrupt with a house full of useless junk to show for it.

I once bought a grounded Railway Van that was on a farm for the grand total of..... Wait for it...... 99P.
You know, the old freight wagons without the wheels that people on farms use to store things in?

I was going to use it for storage purposes as I was thinking about preserving something at the time, but I didn't have anywhere readily available to put it, and the transportation costs to Scotland alone would have been silly (It was in Oxfordshire), and also it turned out to be in worse condition than the seller originally thought, so (thankfully) with a lot of understanding from the seller, it was abandoned!!


I wonder whatever happened to it.

Damn!! We could have set up a farm together!!

had a mate who dad was a millionaire got pi**ed one night and spent £70000 on some harleys davidsons from ebay . he kept them for a few months with the intention of passing his test but never got around to it so sold them on . not sure if he made a profit or not

I usually stop and question myself at £70, never mind 70 grand!!

Not a purchase, but a sale I once put up after "having had a few too many".
It was an old Talbot Samba convertible. An absolute POS with a dodgy MOT; that thing was on it's last legs. I reckoned I would have been lucky to get £50 for it, but lo and behold some mug took it off my hands for £750 . A819JLE; where are you now? More than likely abandoned somewhere between my place and the lucky winners place. Nearer mine, I would think!

Thanks!

It's currently in France apparently. My buyer got it working again and, after a year or so, sold it to someone who was going to France with it.

Or some sort of Jeffrey Archer fanboy.

Can you imagine the social ignominy...

I think he could get away with it as long as it wasn't in a penthouse overlooking the Thames.

You might have to add prawn cocktail and crepes Suzette to make sure that there was absolutely no doubt that it was intentionally ironic dining.

And a side helping of smarm.

I went to the post office on Saturday to pick up what I assumed was another random amazon book purchase. Turned out to be, well let's just say I couldn't understand what the hell I was thinking buying such a thing, was I drunk, could anyone get that drunk??

We laughed about it all the way home...

Until I got a text from my friend down South asking if my 'gift' had arrived
