window shopping

i can (& have) wasted hours looking on ebay for stuff i'll never get.

recently i discovered shopgoodwill.com where the charity goodwill (which has thrift stores to support their cause) sells stuff in a similar way to ebay, where they have an auction or a "buy it now" option. it's not the individual stores, but the regional organizations doing this. some will ship the stuff (sometimes for as low as 1 cent) others do pick-up only.

some things are ridiculously priced. like gemstone rings for thousands of dollars. no one really wants to pay that much for a used thing. they'd be better off setting the reserve price at like $500 and hope for a bidding war.
