speaking of eBay...

i have been bidding on some items (even though i shouldn't be) as of late. in addition to The Golden Child, i was high bidder on a camera and a pair of headphones. i really didn't need them; the lure of the price was too great.

the camera is a Samsung Evoca 115. not a bad camera, retailing for $180-$200. although Samsung stopped making it a couple years ago, it usually got good ratings. well, as you can see in the auction, i got a used one for $25. now, why i bought it...when i've got four other cameras ;)

the headphones are a good deal. i first purchased some Sennheiser HD 340s in 1995, for $60...when they usually sold for $100-$120. so, it's nice to replace my almost worn out pair for $29.30, especially since they're still-in-box new.

i have yet to receive the headphones, but the camera came today. funny, the gal who sold me the camera didn't have a strap nor camera case, but she did include two rolls of 24 exp. 800 speed color print - a nice gesture (even though i mainly shoot slide). guess i gotta find a cheap case and strap on eBay now :)
