Online Shopping Spree
I like eBay and Amazon a lot. Since I don’t earn a lot of money, I have to be really careful with what I buy and what I spend my money on. The variety of items that eBay offers is hard to be beaten, and some of the prices I can find items on Amazon, are unbelievable. Whenever I want to buy something new, I check eBay first and see if there aren’t any special offers for that item.
This time, I want an mp3 player. I have studied the market, and I’ve chosen the model I want, but there’s only one problem. It’s a little expensive, and I can’t afford to spend that much money on it. I think you already know this is where eBay and Amazon come in. A quick check and I find my desired mp3 player.
The iriver E100 8 GB has everything I could wish for, even a radio tuner and card slot. I could find it at any store in my neighborhood, but at a much higher price. As I spend a lot on my gadgets, I hope that my mother will never find out that I prefer electronics to food. If she knew, she’d preach me a lot, and would try to convince me to move back home.
My girlfriend thinks just my mother on this subject, so she doesn’t have to find out about all the things I purchase. She could find ways to make me feel sorry if she knew, so I’d better not try my luck. She hasn’t discovered yet my Xbox and my new headphones, but I let her know that she could use an mp3 player, too, so she agreed with me on this item.
I think about buying a new Xbox controller, too. Would she have anything against it? This way she could find out I have got an Xbox for some time. My only worry is that she might throw it out the window after my Playstation2.
