A secret passion...easily done in the privacy of your own home..yes, I mean EBAY!

So we all have heard of video game addicts, phone addicts, tv junkies, but how about Ebay Addicts? It can totally suck you in! I am an ebay lover, so don't get me wrong. I consider myself on the verge of being an addict...well enough to have the forsight of the ease of becoming addicted. Seriously though, sellers or buyers...it's just like gambling in it's own way. You start by searching for some particular product, or some awesome deal...and you click "add to watchlist". Next thing you know you have been on for hours searching for your next fix, adding to the watchlist, and then checking back frequently to see if you've been outbid, to see if anyone else has bid, to see how much time is left on the bid, to see if there is a better deal on there. Then the day comes when you have the high bid and the bid is down to the last minute and you sit there anxiously awaiting the finale, being outbid and increasing your bid way past your ideal limit...your blood is pumping, adrenaline is rushing..and BOOM, you get outbid at the very last second and have to start the process all over again! Haha. I know some of you out there know what I am talking about. It's a hidden secret passion that is just a great (and not so great), harmless (yet wallet busting), home hobby/addiction. So I wonder if there are Ebay Addict forums, and Ebayers Anonamous...there has to be. I also heard there is a program that can actually wait until the last second to bid for you so that you never have to enter an early bid or be outbid. Has anyone heard of it? It is not the built in "increase your bid" program. This one actually waits to make a bid at all based on your budget and is on a timer to only enter the bid when there are seconds remaining. Anyone know? Post your info if you have any. If not, I will search for it and add a new entry with the info...so check back.
