Just thought I'd share with you all that I've done Cold Turkey and I haven't checked out Ebay for a full 19 days and counting, admittedly I was away from the computer for fourteen of those but I'm still managing to resist.

Is this some sort of record? [Smile]

Mike, check out my ebay auctions:.............. [Smile]

Of course I can't post a link or ID because it would be in the wrong category on this forum. [Big Grin]

Now, Now, Dan. This would be the correct place so go for it. [Wink]

Mike:
I wish I had your dicipline - I've spent thousands within the last couple of weeks on Ebay. But....OK - some of my purchases were 16MM lots bought for resale.

Did pick up the Beatles doing Revolution - but the other guy really drove up the bid!

Kev, I was only kidding, although if I had posted a link Doug would have moved it to the film sale category. [Wink]

Dan,

This would be the perfect spot for you to tempt Mr. Peckham with a tender, juicy eBay item! In fact, it's our duty to test his will power.

Thanks Doug, you and Kev are becoming the dynamic duo! [Wink]

I managed a straight three weeks [ no comments please Tony ] but then relented, had a leasurely browse through my favourite searches and put several items on my watch list.

Oh well, back to normal [Smile]
