Every now and then I go on an eBay bidding frenzy that I can't control. I m not really sure what the dumbest thing I've ever bought was, cause it happens a lot. What about you?

Hehe... I bought two of my cult favorites on Ebay - Sliders and Greatest American Hero. Sliders was absolutely terrible quality on VHS - but Greatest American Hero is actually pretty good quality, and on DVD.

MattO · 06-19-2004, 08:11 PM

I bought a bunch of microphones from the 60's that have plastic parabolic dishes attached to them, and advertised to pick up sounds from far distances. Not too bad looking from the ad, Bell & Howell, 6 of them for 10 bucks. Though I could use them for interesting recording in my home studio.

They suck complete ass.

They're really rare, and I got a good deal on it, but still, blah.

We are PowerSellers and I buy so much stuff on eBay to resell. Every now and then I go overboard and buy something for myself and then I decide I have to have 2 or 3 of them.
