Buyer's remorse

I won! I won! I won!

My first win on eBay. Now that I won, I am of course suffering from buyer's remorse and wondering if I paid too much. Then I tell myself that it was something that I needed and that I had paid less than I had budgeted. Now as long as the item arrives safely and works well I promise to be satisfied.

I went through at least 2 months of buyer's remorse after we bought the condo. I would check the listings at least 10 times a day -- more times than when we were looking for a place. We found our place after only a couple of weeks of house hunting. I wasn't ready to get out of buyer mode.

So I bought a Canon Elph S200. I always liked that camera and I didn't need and couldn't afford the latest and greatest 5 megapixel model. I am paying less than $200 for the camera, a 128MB flash card and a camera case.

Funny how one feels remorse regardless of whether the amount is a few 100 dollars or a few 100 thousand!

Now that I have a camera (keeping my fingers crossed for safe arrival and functioning) I hope to post more images on my blog.
