Ebay Anonymous?
I have been searching for an Ebay Anonymous Clinic that I can check myself into. I believe I have a major problem bidding on bicycle components. When I first recognized or admitted this problem, I would take a big sigh of relief when I didn't win. Now, it's jump right back in. I need to be accountable to someone about this problem. (My wife would kill me.) I am just kidding although I think I will need to watch myself. No, I did bid on the $25000 Colnago a few weeks ago. I have though bought a couple new cranksets, saddle, 93 Colnago, and now a wheelset. I guess I could throw away my user name and password.

I use the 12 step program----buy 12 items, then start over again and buy 12 more. 
You could try this. Show your wife a price compaison of what your LBS would have charged you and how much you saved by getting things on ebay. ( Note: My wife said WOW you are saving so much that we are getting poor. 
She can be so funny. LOL) Just keep telling yourself I need this stuff and deal with the guilt later, it will fad away. 
Hope this helps, Happy Ebaying

It was a collector Colnago/Ferrari with gold inlay. I never did follow the bidding; but, if I am correct I believe it was one those "Buy it Now" thingmados. Had the Ferraris in the background, still looked like kinda fishy to me. I would say it was built in the late 90s. It had a threaded headset and of course, it was red.
