My First...

...ebay buying experience. Jason buys and sells stuff on ebay all the time. We almost got ripped off by someone when we bought a computer. Thankfully Jason was smarter than they were and we got our money back. A couple other times we've discovered the item we bought was probably pirated or stolen by an employee. It's sometimes hard to know, but it has made me extremely wary.

The other night I was browsing around, looking for a toy for my nephew. I then went over to gift certificates and saw there were Michael's gift cards for auction. I bid on one and won! My first bid ever! I "saved" $7.07 on it, so I think that can be considered a fair gain. Hopefully the card actually has the promised amount on it and doesn't expire next month or something. It said no expiration date, but I know sometimes the company charges a fee when a card has been unused for a while. So we'll see if I got ripped off or not.

I figured I shop at Michael's anyway to buy scrapbooking supplies, plus they have those 40% off coupons each week in the paper. Now I'm all set to shop!
