XD Pfft. Random laptop purchasing on eBay XD

eBay is the best place to go if you want to buy anything computer-related. You need to know what you're looking for, though.

Also, I got to outbid 24 other bidders as a last-minute surprise bidder. That's always fun. :3

Yeah, it is. I think people get addicted to that. The thrill of the eBay!

I know nothing about computers. I would fail.

I would help you. I like poking eBay for the best deal.

No, I actually hate the thrill of eBay, and usually go for the Buy Now deals. Whenever I do end up bidding on something, though, I usually win, and that always feels good. Not good enough to justify the frantic nail-biting of the four minutes or so before the auction is over, though.

Hurray for random laptops! And that's a pretty reasonable price for what you got.

t_eyla August 8 2010, 23:01:26 UTC

I thought so. I'm hoping to be able to squeeze the people at my local Cex store to pay maybe 50 quid for my old laptop, which means I'd get the price down to 120. Which would be alright.

bigmamag has got me watching Due South.

LOVE IT SO MUCH.

IT IS SO AWESOME. Ray V is fun, but wait until you get to Ray K. (Season 3 and 4.) ASHDJAHS Callum Keith Rennie! :D :D

I've been rewatching it recently. It makes me very happy.

daphnie_1 August 8 2010, 23:05:02 UTC

LOVE Ray V so hard. DNKIW him to be replaced! But apparently it gets even more shippy which is of the good.

I love Frasier. I love Ray. I *ADORE* defenbeker.

Ray V is likable, but Ray K and Fraser are simply made for one another. Because they were written to be made for one another. Paul Gross liked the idea of homoerotic subtext, and when he took over as exec in season 3, he started to write it into the show deliberately. And not in a funny hah-hah bromance kind of way, thank God, but in a credible kind of way.

Also, it's CKR. He has the best eyes.

t_eyla August 9 2010, 09:28:25 UTC

Hee, yeah. I didn't really want to spend that much money, but hey. At least I have it atm.

Done! :) Hugs to you, too.
