Convince me to spend some money on me

[Oeditpus Rex]

I just found the camera I want (well... the one I'll settle for) on eBay. It's slightly used, but it comes with a lens and an optional high-voltage battery pack — and it has only one bid at $400! (New, it's like $900 without a lens or anything else.)

Trouble is, I've always had a real hard time spending money on non-essential items, unless it's just a few bucks. But I've been without a "real" camera for years, and that's deprived me of a bit of my soul.

TELL ME WHAT TO DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!11 :cry:

1. I say if you really want the camera go for it.

I received a nice camera for my birthday and I am really enjoying it.

2. Ask CalifPeggy to go in halves with you so she can post more

3. tell yourself it's a work investment

You'll find a way to make it pay for itself.

You could do that!

4. Bid on it

and hope it won't get too high in the price.

It is almost Christmas, of course you can treat yourself for a nice present :D

:hug:

5. Go for it.

You only live once.

6. Go with your gut..

This is like the, "do I love my girlfriend questions." You already know the answer. The fact that you had to ask is all the answer you need.

7. bid

You know what? You can always sell it on eBay if you change your mind. That's the beauty of eBay!

8. I'd rather you spent the money on ME.

Since you're unlikely to do that, buy your camera. You won't regret it.

9. if you can afford it you should get it.

after all you will live only once...

:hi:

[Connonym]

10. More importantly, how can I convince you to spend some money on ME?

[crim son]

15. Hey, I get the first paycheck!

Your turn next month!

[BarenakedLady]

11. Get it

You deserve it in my humble opinion. :hug:

[ThomCat]

12. I know me. I wouldn't spend the money

and for exactly the reason you're hesitating. It's non-essential.

But if you can afford it, and you'll get a lot of use out of it, then it would be a good thing to have.

13. I'd do it

find that part of your soul again. Life's too short, ya know?

[Jamastiene]

14. If you rarely spend on fun stuff, then go for it.

Have some fun in life while it's still legal. :hi:

[Mutley]

16. Get it! Get it! Get it!

You deserve it. :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

17. Just Do It!

because it feels good

because it's something you really really want

because it'll be money that's well spent = you'll enjoy every dollar over and over again (which makes 'em worth more)

[NewWaveChick1981]

18. DO IT. NOW.

We need new pictures of you. This Naughty Girl has spoken. Do as I command. :patriot:

[lizziegrace]

19. Has the auction ended?

Please say you still have a chance to get it. :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. No, but

the bid's up to $622, and that's more than I want to spend.

:cry:

[astral]

21. Well, then, get yourself a nice camera because

Life is for Living~! You have to have something like that if your spirit yearns for it --- don't deprive yourself of something that can give you creativity and joy, if you can afford to get it.

When you're on your deathbed, your regrets won't be that you died with more money in the bank, they will be the things you ***didn't*** do. That you could have done.

At this point I'd be more into digital for a camera, but it's your heart and your love, there is such a thing as 'moderation' in non-essential items.

You need more than food and water; you need to smell the roses, and capture them on film. A camera expresses your joy in life.

[FedUpWithIt All]

22. I insist you get a camera!!!

:hi:

If you do get one...make sure to take a bunch of cool pics and post 'em here. I am a bit of a pic whore. I love pictures of any and everything.
:)

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. The bid's up to $710

I insist you loan me the money. :)

[FedUpWithIt All]

25. :P OK, but only if i get partial custody.

lol

[Evoman]

23. If you don't make a bid now, I will. And then you'll rew the day that you hesitated.

You'll be nothing but a camera-less bastard, crying into your pillow. C'mon, you camera-less freakjob.

(Its called Tough Love...I don't really mean it lol)

[SeattleGirl]

26. If you are okay in terms of bills paid up, etc., then I say, go for it.

If the camera is something that you really want, and you aren't going to be spending the rent money on it, then why not? If you really want the camera, and plan to use it, then get it. It's okay to get something for yourself on occasion, dude. And, it sounds like you can get it for a great price.

The Reverend High Priestess of the Church of Ethereal Pleasure gives her blessing to this purchase.
