Manifestation

My name is Alyssa-Jayne... and I'm an eBayoholic. I seriously think I have an addiction here - there's simply no other explanation as to why I would buy such useless and random items, even at ridiculously expensive prices.
For God's sake, I bought a set of plectrums with world flags printed on them. Why? Because they're limited addition, of course! And for only $10! Wowie! Can you believe it, ten special edition "Flags of the World" guitar picks, and at such a low price? Why would I need guitar picks anyway? Then there's the plethora of too-large second hand band t-shirts from the USA, the vintage style bracelets with old fashioned charms and chunky glass beads and the 20-year-old cherry red Doc Martens.
I need help! Everytime I see something I obviously don't need, I'm compelled to "confirm bid" - after all, somebody will probably outbid me before the auction ends; which is why I run to the computer 10 minutes before to make sure I'm still in the lead, and if I'm not, I'll throw out some insane bid that would make Donald Trump look like a pauper and voila, my new professionally screened and top sewn Darkthrone hoodie is on its way.
Are there eBay addict support groups? Or should I just keep buying til I'm broke and they shut my account? Probably not the best idea, but look at all my pretty new things...
