The worst case of eBay obsessive buying behaviour

Crazy eBay Mom is an understatement. It's a severe psychological disorder, and as much as the pictures are staggering, I can't help but feel that there is a seriously disturbed woman behind it all.

50 pictures with a narrative from the son. :eek:


Into the kitchen. Underneath the center pile is the dining room table, and underneath the dining room table is more boxes. A bunch of the food in here is several years old, and from a dollar store, but my mom still won't throw it away.

wow, took me ages to go through all that! lol, shocking, how can someone live like that? i feel sorry for the son, what is the point in buying stuff if you arent even gona open the box?!?!? what do you think she buys?? And i thought my dad was bad with his PS2 game collection!

OMG - so thats who bought all my stuff

See, I'm the opposite - I seem to be selling anything thats not nailed to the floor

And if it doesn't sell on Ebay it goes to the Charity shop

And if its not sold on a completed listings search I dont even list it on Ebay - it goes straight to charity shop

I love the guys comment about the bathroom:

The bathroom. It's only remarkable in that it's the widest open space outside of my room. It's the only place you could actually stick your arms out and spin around. You know, if you wanted to.

This has been doing the rounds for a few years. It actually makes me very sad ..my father developed some sort of problem in the past few years and started sving everything he ever got, plus buying items from the £1 shop by the bag load and when he became seriously ill recently and had to go into a residential home for good I was left to clear the house all on my own.

I'm several months in and still haven't finished and I am at my wits end.

Cheeky! I'd kill my OH if he tried to sell any of my shoes...

When I read this first time I was going to say that I know how she feels as I bought a really nice belt off ebay and it seems to have vanished! :rotfl:

no no no! shoes is a very delicate subject!!! No one touches my shoes! Although I am running out of places to put them.... far too many! and there is probs only about 10 pairs of them which i actually wear! The rest just sit in my wardrobe looking pretty

I need a whole room for mine, wish I had a spare one. I actually have a couple of pairs that I've never worn (no doubt I'll get slammed for that comment as this is MSE.com!)
