Online drunk shopping

Anyone else shop online after a few drinks? I find I buy way more posters and vinyl after I have had a couple glasses of wine. There should really be some sort of sobriety test before you hit the buy button! All I did was make an offer on ebay...but it turns out the offer was a good one, and now I will own it! Doubt I would have made the same offer sober! Guess the fates stepped in! I should lose all online privileges after I pop the cork!

    my most brutal drunk purchase was back in 1999. i was in grad school and drunkenly went to guitarauction.com and i bid on a 1993 gibson flying v guitar that was listed as burgundy. there were no pics, so i said "screw it, most times if there are no pics you can low bid and still win..." turns out i won the auction, received the guitar and it is electric hot pink. not burgundy, as listed. so i still have that hunk of shit guitar. i think the case it came in is worth more than the actual guitar. lesson here is buyer beware.... :fp: :fp: :fp: :fp:

    Yikes...a pink flying V, talk about buyers remorse. I saw a photo...I am sure I will get what I paid for. I will also enjoy it, as will others. I just am not responsible with a computer and a credit card after a couple glasses of wine. :oops:

    Yeah, have to admit to having done that- nothing big though. A few glasses of wine at the end of the day, feeling relaxed, maybe a book or record I did really have to have... but my credit card has had a few close calls. :lol:

    Vinyl...trouble is, I have nothing to play it on :fp:

    The secret is to drink excessively...blurred vision and memory loss mean you can't read the number on your card or remember your password...feel like shit in the morning, but at least your bank balance is healthy... :shock:

    I couldn't help but correlate this to the cover of Ten as it was described to the band as burgundy and was actually pretty damn pink! Thx for the laugh today!! :)

    yeah i have decided i am smashing that thing whenever my band decides to call it quits.

    i think the only market for it would be a hair metal tribute act, and even in that sort of a band this would probably be looked down upon... :oops: :oops: :oops: :lol:

    It doesn't matter what it looks like...the question is how well does it play/sound?

    And yes, I buy more after a few drinks too...I just ordered refills for a Jerry's presentation portfolio that I don't even have, since they were running a free shipping promo this weekend. All while I was waiting in the airport bar for my ride to pick me up last night.

    Good question and if it sounds good, you could paint it like Hendrix' Monterey guitar or one of Jeff's basses. :mrgreen:

    smash it today! i double dare you to smash it & set it on fire, including the case. use a hammer, use one gallon of diesel fuel & used motor oil, get firewood & go to town on your guitar you dislike. no offense, sir, but isn't it odd when men dislike pink soo much they're willing to destroy their guitar? it's a fucking color :fp:

    how about decorate the fucker? stickers? spray paint? rags?

    nope... smash it & flames

    Many a time I used to play real-money poker online while generously buzzed.

    Either won big or lost big...but oh man was it fun :P

    Shopping while imbibing? I do it rarely now but as with gambling, I set myself an affordable & reasonable amount, and then go to town!

    Seems like every time I have some drinks I find my way to Amazon. In spite of being pretty damn drunk a few of those times my purchases have been tame. No big ticket items, no items that sober SatansFuton has no use for, etc. Mainly I'll just buy some movies and music and not spend more than $50 or so. I have forgotten a few times and been surprised when the purchases arrived. It's been cool stuff so I was like "Thanks drunk me, you know me too well".

    I'm notorious for purchasing albums on their release date that I'd forgotten that I had pre-ordered months before hand.

    I sometimes repurchase the same album again after I preorder. Quite often amazon sends me the "we are still trying to obtain the item you purchased" email. I figure the album is out now, so I just buy it. I then forget to cancel the original order and wonder why the UPS truck is outside when I haven't ordered anything lately. :oops:
