My first ebay purchase

posted by Mark posted on 5th March, 2008 at 08:08 pm

That’s right, I’ve joined the world of ebay consumerism.

I’ve been browsing ebay a lot lately, and there’s really some good bargains to be had on there, and the ability to purchase using paypal is a huge advantage for me with my online income coming through there.

So today I saw something I really couldn’t resist, it was pretty pricey and I dismissed purchasing it at first, but the more I looked at it the more I realised I’d regret it if I didn’t go and buy it.

A 24″ x 36″ print, done by some eastern European artist, featuring some of my favourite movie/tv characters. Tony Soprano from the Sopranos (James Gandolfini), Tony Montana from Scarface (Al Pacino), Jimmy Conway from Goodfellas (Robert Deniro) and Don Vito Corleone from The Godfather (Marlon Brando). Behind these guys who are seated at a bar is their respective crews. There was a black and white version of it available too, but I went with the colour, it looked a bit better to me. The overall price incl. delivery was £28.00 which is around €37/$57, but I’m pleased I bought it. I have to consider getting it framed when it arrives.

Another online purchase today may interest some Leaving Cert students who read this blog. Leaving Cert Solutions.com offer books with all the Maths exam questions from previous years and the solutions combined. On one side of the page is the question, and on the other the solution, which is much handier than having to go online and find the solutions and print them off all the time or whatever. It cost €25 to order online, and though this may seem expensive, since you already have the exam papers, and get the solutions for free, I feel it’s a pretty big timesaver, and should come in handy. They do Higher and Ordinary level too, in case you’re wondering!
