Is it just me?

>> 28 November 2010

Am I missing something? I've been doing a little shopping online. Mostly ebay. There are tons of listings for gift cards. One would think one might get a little discount there, right? NOT! Nearly all the cards I've seen have sold for MORE than the card's value! What's up with that?! Why on earth would someone pay $11 for a $10 Target gift card?! Call me crazy, but I'd just stop at the store and pay the $10. No shipping, no waiting, no hoping I didn't pick the seller who lies about the value and disappears tomorrow... Idano, I just don't get it somehow.

Then there are the ones who outbid me, even though the same seller has more of the same item listed with no bids. What's up with that? Has the world gone COMPLETELY wacky or what?

OK, now I'm gonna go have one more turkey sandwich and spread out on the bed with my sudoku book. Turkey and rice tomorrow will probably finish off the leftovers. I'll miss that good ol' bird. 8-]

That's nuts! I see things on there every day that sell for more than you'd pay at a b&m store. No wonder we're in such deep financial dippity-doo!

Love ya, Soph!
You have a JESUS-filled day, too! :)

About Me

My photo
I love JESUS! I'm a 7th-generation Florida native, dyed-in-the-wool Southron belle. I just recently dusted off my genealogy notes and, thanks to a long-lost relative, nearly doubled the details. We started home schooling when only 'outlaws' did it and still enjoy a daily quest for knowledge. These days, the family spends a lot of time birding, butterflying, spending as much time in 'the woods' as possible while they're still here.
