eBay Roulette
The game in which I always win. Or is it lose?

The rules...
Bid on something I could use - though not necessarily necessary - like a piece of silver in my pattern or a plastic anatomical model. One moderate bid only. And only an amount of money that I can afford to lose. That rules out things like $800 life size torsos or $159 Madam Jumel asparagus tongs.

The thrill of the game is in how one’s fortunes can change...giving one the urge to up the ante if we’re doing well or to pray that one is outbid if a lot of new bills come in while waiting out the auction. Cheaper than going to a casino. And you can’t lose. Or is it win?

I haven’t won (or is it lost?) in quite a while. The plastic left-foot bones were a legitimate school expenditure.
