I realised that you can waste hours on ebay when you don't know what you're looking for and when you do find something you want unless you sit there or log back on just before the 6d 23hrs is up you will no doubt be outbid.I wanted to come up with something surprising and well I think I filled that part of the brief as I don't think this is an obvious choice...
So this photo is what I bought - it is me (or my online identity) in a box.
I suppose I should explain!?! After wasting a few hours of my life and firstly bidding using my old ebay account (where I was thankfully outbid!) I set up my new one and set about trying to buy something... you look through the weird section and then the ones that are ending soon and feel like you're looking at the same stuff - some weird, some just rude or offensive.
I wanted to find something that related to me or my online identity and started searching cassettes, 82, 1982, figaro, nissan figaro (clearly my £15 budget didn't allow me to buy the whole car).
Then I searched my exact online identity 'figaro82' and it came up with only one post.
This post also happened to be in budget coming in at £11.71
You could pay by credit card over the phone - which suited me as I needed to get it posted to me
And it was a 'buy it now' which was good as I'd been outbid many times before and time had got fairly short!
So this was my purchase - I now officially own the first piece of my Nissan Figaro... a Thermostat, Figaro, 82C, J1538000!
