Then in the shop I see the bread I wanted is out of stock but there's another one on two-for-one special offer.<br /><br />Still waiting for both money and item, but I'm being patient and restrained. And definitely not spending any more.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />@Camy:<br /><br />Seven camcorders! I only have three.<br /><br />As for the name...<br /><br />* Caveat non Emptor<br />* Buyer's Creep<br />* Endless Win Deferment<br />* Prospect Telescoping<br />* Big Plan Syndrome<br /><br />Actually I think its just a new manifestation of the old gambler's fallacy - "My luck's been bad for a long time, so I'm due for a winning streak". Also known as "Throwing good money after bad" and "Desperate Optimism".Kapitanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14647896216499813443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805716.post-85957525873586633192010-05-23T01:51:32.036+01:002010-05-23T01:51:32.036+01:00Yes, you're mildly barking. But that's wha...Yes, you're mildly barking. But that's what Mick does too. He was, at one point last month, the owner of seven camcorders: none of which worked. He then bought a job lot of ancient laptops - which didn't work either - and seriously though he'd make money.<br /><br />It seems to be what eBay does to people, and I have no doubt that in years to come there will be an offical psychological name for the problem.<br /><br />;)Camyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07177883358479925188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805716.post-76231645878926242172010-05-21T02:01:33.971+01:002010-05-21T02:01:33.971+01:00See.

That way, I stay in my budget.<br /><br />I hope your money comes through. Paypal and eBay policies suck!
