THE SIMPLE LIFE

EBAY

I bid (and won) my very first item! The object itself isn't too exciting, just a manual that seems to be popular among students & optometrists. I won the auction saving $25 from the bookstore cost and I'm still bitter cuz I could've gotten the book for less except ppl kept on bidding against me. I keep reminding myself that I already got a good deal - but the starting bid was $5!! I could've paid a total of $10 instead of $35 *pouts* I'm so cheap. Oh well...better than paying $60 =)

How safe are these things any way? My classmates seem to buy and sell things all the time, is my credit card safe? And what happens if my book isn't like they described...or worse, if it doesn't show up at all? The guy's got 100% feedback so I'm banking on his honesty. I'm mean, he's an ophthalmology student - it would be unethical!

I've decided to search online for all my books from now on. If only I can get my hands on a cheap copy of the Berkley's Board review...
