for a hobby related item that I didn't really "need". On the off chance that this woman is really dealing with a MAJOR difficulty in her life. If that's the biggest financial mistake I ever make in my life, I'm doing okay.

I can only hope that none of us ever have to deal with a fraction of what she wrote about.

As for her ebay dealings it certainly looks like she's trying buy things and when they go too high she drops out. Maybe she is trying to buy so she can resell.
