Shopping spree

original by manganite

I don’t tend to shop a lot. In fact, I see myself as more of a miser than anything else. But alas if I want to move ahead, the time has come to shop shop shop!

I did “research” since Christmas, but in the span of 3 hours this afternoon I have been spending up to a grand on amazon.com and eBay.com auctions, at the same time saving myself a great deal.

In detail, I bought a USA factory demo Nikon D70s with a Nikkor 18-55mm AF-S DX Zoom, a Nikkor 55-200mm AF-S DX Zoom and an extra battery (saved around $200-300 compared to a new product, a pretty impressive kit to keep me amused for a year), a new Lowepro SlingShot 200 camera bag (saved $20 compared to amazon.com’s, and I’m planning to bring the camera around in it), a Sandisk Ultra II CF card (saved $6), a printer cartridge, and last and most importantly a new Razor Pro Scooter (I returned the previous red scooter, but missed riding on it thus bought another one, hopefully keeping it after 30 days this time round). All Amazon purchases came with free shipping albeit a little tax. I are poor. Better sell that guitar and skateboard now.

Phew. I mean, what the hey! I finally bought a dSLR! And I get to glide around in the middle of the night again! Oh the possibilities!
