    I hate that. I now have three tri-pods. What will I ever do with three tri-pods? I rarely even use one of them. My mom decided I need a new one because she saw one on sale for $10. discuss.

    yeah it's better to just get an expensive one that will last a while than buy a few shitty ones that break easily

    I don't need an expensive one either. My old shitty one was fine. I rarely use it. I guess my point was, I hate when people buy shit that they don't need just because it's cheap... oh yeah, that was the title of the thread.

    How did I get to the point of selling my body on the internet? okay, 5k. but no jujubes, because I don't even know what that is.

    If these are camera tripods? then you can do multiple angle/mutli-camera shots.

    Jujubes is candy. How about $5,000.50 cents with the jujubes. Then I'll take you all to the movies.

    Junior mints, popcorn, a Pepsi, and we're straight. [​IMG]

    Yeah. I learned the hard way.

    There were these really cool Kung Fu jackets on sale on eBay. One jacket cost between $0.50 and $2. So I ordered four of them thinking.. Well, how much is shipping gonna cost, huh?

    I actually sent him a letter asking about shipping. He said $20 to my country. I'm like .. Hell yeah! I'm paying like.. $24 for four awesome jackets.

    So I get my bill. And he tells me he doesn't do combined shipping. Something I had overlooked. So my total bill was almost $90. I wanted to puke.

    One of my friends always gets stuff because it's on sale, it's annoying going somewhere with her, this is why I don't anymore, I don't like shopping so that's all she wants to do and will spend tons of money on tons of stuff that she already either has or things she doesn't even really know what they are... But she also sniffs pixie sticks, so yeah, it says all right there...
