Ebay Catalog

I got one in the mail today. And my first thought was, "They have a catalog?"

Seriously? Isn't Ebay supposed to be like, a big online garage sale? Why on earth do they have a catalog? So I flip it open because, well, it was probably the only decent mail we got today. (Ick, I hate getting mortgage applications and credit card applications, and all that junk.) Anyways. I start looking through it and I've decided that it's probably just about the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life.


It's a random compilation of items. And instead of an actual price? They have AVERAGE prices listed. Seriously. And they are advertising dumb stuff! I'm talking D-U-M-B. Now, if I was going to put together a catalog of all the stuff that I wanted to get rid of, I'm not going to sell you my used baby bottles, I'm gonna sell you my, I don't know, something amazing! See, because I thought the point of a catalog was to dazzle and maybe even reel you in a little bit and then BAM! I hook you and THEN sell you my used baby bottles.


My other problem is the stuff that you would consider buying? By the time you factor in shipping and handling, you might as well just have gone to the store and bought the SAME thing brand spanking new.


In MY Ebay Catalog:
