Caution: EWI Ebaying while intoxicated

[albatross]

I awoke this morning to learn that after drinking and talking golf with buddies all night, I must have gone upstairs and bid on a driver on ebay.

I discovered this morning when I received an email that said "Congratulations you've won a Taylormade R7 Draw Driver!"

Luckily, I think I got a pretty decent deal. It's used and I got it for $85 and that includes shipping. It has a Fujikara tour platform shaft and is in good shape.

Just a warning that ebaying and drinking can be dangerous!

haha, i bid on an mizuno mp fli hi 3 days ago. I sorta wanted it, but wasn't 100% committed on using it. I woke up the next morning to my dad saying, "i got a email saying that we won a new utility club!". I only paid 40 bucks for it, which is good. I am interested to see the results it gives me, who knows...it might even replace the 3 iron.

it could be worse - I ended up bidding on and winning the *hammer*. I also didnt realize it until the next day when I got the email. My wife now locks the car windows on the way home from the course and wont allow me on the phone or the computer after a round anymore. (yes there have been other issues after rounds for me)

Funny, bidding on Ebay is not even the most dangerous thing that can result from a blackout. I'm sure that the friends of Bill W who read this post could attest to that.

Did it on a wedge kick . . . won 3 wedges, 2 identical . . . Maker's & Coke is usually GOOD for me . . .

Well, there's a lot worse things you could have done after drinking! I know I have.

LOL! That's damn funny... Thanks for the laugh

[Dpricenator]

LOL

I did the same thing on CigarBid.com It's a cigar auction site run by Cigars International. Anyway about 5 Jonny Blacks later I placed bids on 5 different boxes of smokes. I place low bids figuring i would get outbid, but might win one or two. Nope I won all five boxes. I have plenty of storage space for them, but the wife was not pleased when I told here I just bought about $500 in cigars. I did get a hell of a deal, but I slept on the couch for a while.

EWI....that's too funny.

At least you are only out $85.....you could have gone nuts and bought a Circle T putter or something outlandish.

Sounds like it may be a solid deal anyway. Good luck.


EWI....love it.

I think I'm safe. I never drink and I've never bought anything on ebay.

I read the title to this thread and just nodded my head, knowing exactly what you mean......

LOL, but not that I regret it, because I really don't, but money right now is at a premium for me but I got a little happy one night and just pulled the trigger on the Taylor Made Itsy Bitsy Spider.... brand new on Ebay for 145.... (its a 200 dollar putter)

It's not so much the money thing, that is a factor and all, but I already have a Scotty Cameron putter! haha.... but I just wanted a mullet style putter and just said to heck w/ it and got it....

It'll be here tomorrow too, but still..... the rest of this week and next I'm going to have to watch my pennies a little extra harder....

Did you scream "BOOOOOOOM" when you added 30-50 yards to your drive?

judging by your sig... "Wal-Mart POS" ... you needed a driver... so no harm no foul.

Why isn't it the driver listed in your sig... POW.

I still want to hit one of those stupid things and say POW.

I get into trouble on ebay sober.

I am bidding on an item right now... wish me luck.

lol i thought i was the only one who did this. I swear half my set was purchased while me intoxicated. My current studio select, a couple vokey wedges, my driver shaft, fw wood, and one of my hybrids was purchased in the wee hours of the morning after too much drinking. I like surprising myself in the morning with notifications of me getting new golf clubs! :)

I bid on a set of nice mizuno irons one night after drinking. ONly one problem, they were left handed. Luckly I was outbid by a couple bucks.
