For me, I've become something of an eBay fanatic since I realised I am as much a collector as I am a gamer. I suppose I prefer eBay because it is nonconfrontational. At a car boot sale, I often feel somewhat uneasy perusing the various items of interest. I dislike the thought that someone might think I would steal something because I'm hovering about. I also feel uneasy asking if I can examine a game's condition. All this is quite strange when you consider I am actually an extremely confident person otherwise!
On eBay, my thrill comes from finding mint/rare games at absurdly low prices that no one has paid any attention to! I feel rather underhand - which makes me feel rather good I also like the challenge of getting my money's worth out of the seller by buying multiple items. It can all be quite time consuming but it is also very satisfying.
Don't get me wrong - I do very much enjoy the car boot sales I attend on Sundays (of which I have now gone to three). I enjoy the uncertainty of it all (I don't even know if it is on until I get there!). But as eager as I am to go, I am as eager to leave. Make of that what you will.
What are your thoughts, then?
