I have mixed feelings about buying things on ebay.
On one hand it's brilliant. All that stuff and some it is dead cheap. Because I like all sorts of stuff it's kind of perfect for me and I can go mooching (almost) whenever I like. But then, on the other hand, the element of chance has been considerably reduced. And it's that element of chance that makes finding something interesting in a secondhand bookshop or at a car boot sale so exciting.
Still, with limited time on my hands, the urge to mooch takes over and an-ebaying I go.

Nice...but I do find it unsettling that a RED BUS PASS should be printed in orange - or is that just your photography?

OK, so I don't colour correct all my pictures! It is, as you'd expect, red.

Hah, somebody beat me to the "orange" comment. Oh well.
I used to love eBay for finding unique items, but my account has been hacked twice, and practically every day I get a bogus email from somebody claiming I need to "register" my account again.
While it may not be a big deal, the trust factor isn't at 10, and that bugs me.

That's a relief (it's really troubling, this design disease).

I would like to see where you keep all this great stuff. Do you have shelves and bins overflowing?
My better half doesn't let me keep these kinds of things.

Beth: we have a surprisingly tidy house and a packed loft.
Everyone else: sorry for the colour inbalance induced stress.
