    DP has such a huge variety of offers, sometimes it's a bit addictive to search for a new bargain. Can anyone relate to this?

    ps. Please, do not PM me with your latest bargains. :p :rolleyes:

    I know exactly what you mean. I get excited when I have enough in my PayPal account to go crazy buying different links, templates, etc. It can be fun but I usually end up buying different crap I really didn't need in the first place. But hey, I'm not spending a fortune so it's not all bad.

    Yes, you can get so much for $50-$100 it takes hours, or even days to evaluate, test, de-bug, get excited, organize, find new issues and problems...

    ...probably would be better to pay someone else the same $100 to focus on well defined goals. I try to do everything myself, and the days are flying by too fast.

    Oh well, I need to stay out of the "Buy, Sell, and Trade" section for at least a few hours. Have fun.

    Don't let it consume your life. Too many people have fallen into its depths and never come out. :) Wow I'm going to bed now.

    I definitely have been
    The only marketplace I'd visit was sitepoint but after they raised the price to sell something I come over here.
    I've done a lot more transactions here then any other site like it :)

    Definately, I never thought about it like a mall but I suppose it is. I don't usually plan on buying anything but if I see a good deal I'll take it. The DP spy is good for finding them before anyone else does.
