That's it!

..... For now.  After my trade with Mez I'm going to have to slow down and stop buying games.  No searching Ebay for a month!  I'm gonna do it!

Good luck I have tried to do that. Didnt work for me. I slow down buying stuff just becuase. I have yet to say I am not buying anything and actually sticking to it.

Maybe a more reasonable goal would be to limit yourself to a $ amount per week or per transaction or something? Maybe set a budget? Going cold turkey rarely works.

Good luck.

I slow down because I don't have money. Have you tried being poor?

That has always helped me slow down.

After my recent explosion of purchases, I am limiting myself to "x" amount of dollars every 2 weeks.

the fact there is nothing i need showing up on ebay has brought me to a screaming halt.

I've slown down the past few months because I need a new car before April 11th.

I've become a cheapskate recently because I am saving up for more video games.  With Cinci Classic in just over two weeks, and an arcade game auction coming up in about a month and a half, I've had to cut my spending quite a bit.  The biggest purchase I've made lately was a purchase I made off of a guy from Atari Age, and that was only $20 shipped.

I have had to quit buying because I was poor, and let me tell you, it's like trying to quit crack.  For the first week or two, I'm a bit edgy and have a short temper and buying games is all I can think about.  Usually that's when I get more money I can spend and I go nuts after that.

Not going on Ebay is easy for me but going into a thrift shop and finding some cheap games is when I have trouble.

And don't forget: Yard sale season is comming!!!

I just don't do ebay much.  Sometimes I look to see if someone has misspelled something or put something in the wrong category, but it just mostly makes me mad.  I see things that I want and really can't justify spending the amount of cash that is required on them.  

So I am like you...quitting ebay is easy...It's all the other stuff that gets me into trouble!

sad thing around here I can usally find stuff cheaper on ebay than what the flea market people ask. I even had a guy at a yard sale tell me his 2600 loose mousetrap cart was worth 40.00 dollars  I just said wow and left

I guess I've been pretty cheap lately as well. I can't remember the last time I paid over $19.99 for a new game, ebay or otherwise. And of the current gen used stuff, I try to keep purchases around 10 bucks and limit myself to games that are CIB.

Yard Sale season? Summer is are slow season for yard sales.

For me quitting thrifts and stuff like that is easy. Eaby and forums are hard for me to stop buying from.
