C’mon, everybody confess…who doesn’t waste time going over to the Ebay cycling and triathlon pages and window shopping the bikes and frames? I know I sure do. 
Is there, like, some kind of 12-step program to break myself of that habit? If I bid on every frame and bike I saw there, I’d be bankrupt.

good heavens man…if I didn’t get my bayfix in I’d come unglued…have yet to sell something on it but man can I buy…doing exactly that while typing this…how very sad…where is that sign up list for help??
Yes, I know what you mean. I need help too. I was beginning to think I was the only one who had this problem until I read your post and BIG KAHUNA’S post. My wife thinks I have a problem. I think we need to start a Bikeaholic’s Annonymous program. “Hello, my name is Robert and I am an addict. I own a QR Tiphoon, Kestrel Talon road set-up, Cervelo Dual, Cannondale Ironman 800, and a Marin Hawk Hill mountain bike. I am constantly searching e-bay looking for deals. I own 4 different helmets, 3 pairs of cycling shoes, 4 pairs of pedals, and 5 different sets of wheels. I admit I have a problem and I need help.”

thanks, now I don’t feel so weird
I think the guys in my LBS ignore me because I spent too much time looking at shiny things

I came to the forum today to ask one question - is the 10 speed dura ace grupo worth the money? Which stems only from the fact that it has been a week since I bought anything on ebay and I am getting nervous. I can’t make it day to day without it, I have a problem. HELP.

dude…you have all that stuff??? you do have an addiction problem my friend…you need to give some of that stuff away right now…anything in a 52cm frame…700c wheels…and size 9 shoe especially…if you need help getting rid of it let me know…I’m here for you man. Seriously ebay has become the bane of my existance. There is always something I think I need or want on…always. It’s a good thing I never win the lottery or I’d be insane. But at least I’d have lots of stuff:-P
Right now, I’ve got 25 bike or tri-related items on my daily watch list. 4 or 5 frames, a couple of complete bikes, some tri clothing etc.
Last week, I used the “Buy It Now” feature to get a pair of Asics swim trunks, a pair of Lock Laces and that Velocity “seat post thing” with a couple of Velocity cages.
I still need to get a new helmet, and I definitely want to buy a frame to build up my own “dream machine”
HELP!!!
