I kinda do this with car parts. Find absolute bargains, send them to my brother, who confirms that yes, they are bargains, then sweat over whether or not I should actually buy them and whether it's a waste of money, procrastinate whilst continuing to discuss how said bargain is still available for purchase, then rage when someone else eventually purchases said item.

Sounds like I'm probably just experiencing the same standard FOMO as everyone else.

Just the minor stuff, you know.

Buying used stuff is not everyone and that's fair enough. There's a lot of people that will order stuff online and then when they get it they plain just don't like it and they never use it and sell it for a fraction of the price.
I don't mind checking OP shops for knitted jumpers - new and quality they're excess $200. Flat caps too, found a Kangol - usually over $100 for $3. I got a pair of custom Chuck Taylor's which this dude ordered from the US for $150 for $20 simply coz they didn't fit him.
Bikes, car bike racks, netball hoop, an absolute shitload of home brew equipment, my dog (lol), video games - just some of the stuff I've found like new for half the price and less.

Some people that graduated from Quokka to Gumtree still use Gumtree, they're mainly older people that don't have FB.

Isn't FB for older people these days?

Probably, I only have an account due to applying for bar jobs back when I was working a second job. Gumtree would be for ancients then I guess.

If TikTok develops a trading arm, it's all over.

And coz of this I don't get why Musk wants Twatter. Is it so he can call people paedophile and delete his comment s before lawsuits?
I'm more likely to buy something because I'm afraid of missing out and then regret it 90 seconds later.
Easier for him to manipulate share prices with tweets if he owns the platform and can alter the algorithm.

I've only ever bid for one thing on ebay, it was a West Coast Eagles 2000-2001 away guernsey and I won it.
Also, no

We Own This City is the pinnacle of television, everything else is just downhill from here.
Edit: Holy s**t, Dookie is in this episode and all grown up!

Clarkson's Farm is the pinnacle of television, everything else is just downhill from here.
Ex-prison guard Vicky White dead and inmate Casey White held after manhunt
I expected he'd struggle to get work in the AFL after being 'cleared' of tanking (and also his legacy of failure) but I did not see that career change coming.

I did watch the first ep of this on Sunday, it wasn't too bad but I wouldn't say it's grabbed me yet
I also get reverse FOMO on TV shows. If everyone else is watching it then I probably won't but I will get furious if you talk about like everyone is watching it.
This expires 5 years after the show has ended.

On the subject of the pinnacle of television, you must be happy a new season of the Circle is out

Yeah with you there, I watched 2 episodes of Squid Game before getting pissed off with the hype.
FFS dude she's already watched all of the episodes so far.
