DRUNK BIDDERS UNDER THE INFLUENCE - B.U.I.

There should be a law against B.U.I...bidding under the influence.

 

It is the opinion of Treasure Chest Antiques and Movies that there are a lot of  biders who are "moved by the spirit" so to speak.  There's more to the so-called "eBay Happy Hour" than you might think. Some guy comes home after a hard day's work and stopping at the local bar along the way. 

 

He gets home at 7p.m it and after swallowing a cocktail onion he's ready to bid $50 on  parts for building his own ham radio station on the roof of his house. 

 

It is a thorn in every seller's side when a tanked bidder realizes the next day that he actually bought something they did not want ... have the money to pay for.

 

Give a bessoted bidder a keyboard and they'll drive it straight into a tree!

 

If you know someone like this, it is best you take their keyboard away or ask to be the designated bidder and give them five aspirin.

 

Signs of a B.U. I. include: staggering, extreme talkitiveness, gross mispellings on the keyboard, stupid questions about products to ebay sellers, and expecting a 50lb. item to be shipped for free.

 

A person with a history of B.U.I.'s should be required to have breathalizers attached to their computers of so they cannot do harm to themselves or the eBay community.

 

Inebriated eBayer's should have their password temorarily changed so they can't ruin their family's good feedback.
