Ebay Bucks- Making the decision

[Ajax44]

Have you ever got your ebay bucks certificate, and not know what to spend it on? I have $15.50, and I have until the end of the month to spend it.

In the past, usually one of three things happens:

1. I use it, and within 48 hours later something I really, really, really wanted goes up for auction.

2. I talk myself into using it to buy a more expensive item, and tell myself I saved "x" amount of money by using the coupon to buy something I shouldn't have spent the money on.

3. I use it to get a bunch of little things like set fillers and inserts instead of a nice g/u or auto.

I didn't even know there was such a thing.................Does it count toward shipping too?

I'm boring, I just buy stuff as I normally would and the eBay bucks go towards those purchases.

I nabbed a Shaun Marcum 1/1 with my last coupon and a couple of other goodies as well. I am the same as Richard where I just figure it as part of what I allow myself to spend and purchase things I wanted anyway.

I tend to use your #2 method. By doing that, I have bought some things I felt was probably too high - but I wanted them anyway. Never regretted it.

I have around $100 or so when I get my eBay bucks usually. I either put it towards a Gehrig Gu or some wantlist needs. Nothing to fancy.
