Who Gets Excited? - Go On Admit It

Thought I would start a new topic on who gets excited wether buying or selling on e-bay when they get bids or when they win an auction?

I know I do ;D

There must be some funny stories from you lot out there :)

    Me, I get very, very excited when I win an auction. If it's something I've desperately wanted, I dance & skip around the house whilst singing I've won a printer/phone/computer, or whatever my latest 'win' has been.

    My cat sits there looking as if I've gone crazy as I skip & dance by him numerous times.

    Then there's the excited anticipation of waiting to get the latest new aquisition & being like a kid at Christmas when it arrives.

    Oh & not forgetting the big thrill too when I get something at such a bargain price. That's a real good feeling. :)
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    I can get exited by selling as well as buying. When you get 2 or 3 people getting into a bit of a bidding war over your item, it's great fun checking to see how high these people are willing to go to win. :)
