What do I spend the money on?

[Slow_boat]

Well, the Vivacity's been on ebay for over a week, has 111 watchers and has just had her first bid.

Assuming that she reaches something approaching what she's worth, what do I spend the money on? Ideas so far;

1. Nice new tan sails from Jekkels

2. New inflatable and outboard

3. Sprayhood

4. New upholstery and oven

5. SWMBO

6. Holiday in the sun

7. Paying off the remains of the overdraft from the business I closed down 3 years ago

8. Anchor windlass

Any thoughts, people?

 

[Slow_boat]

113 watchers and only two bids. Is this normal?

7

 

[Judders]

Yes. The bidding will be in the last five minutes.

 

[FullCircle]

Yep.
I bought Semi Circle with 1 bid, so you are lucky. There were about 8 or 9 questions answered - and still no more bids. Dont make no sense nohow.

Lots of peeps now use "sniper" software to bid in the last seconds of an auction. It is not unusual to see the bid price double/treble in the last minute.

And I was going to do something sensible with it. (If I insist on cash the bank manager need never know.....)

7 will give you an income forever of the amount of interest you save. Save the saving month by month, and buy all of the other things with it over time.

Sniper software? Now that sounds handy! Any details?

I use Ezsniper which costs you a tiny amount on auctions won (nothing of course if you don't win). You will probably get 3 free goes when you sign on.

about $50 p.a. but I generally win what I want to, even if it takes a few goes. Includes contingencies so you can set it to bid on other auctions for similar items if you dont get the first one you bid for.

I use it so I can bid and forget. Sometimes I come home after a night out to find I've bought something, other times I've missed out.
