When you hesitate writing a check in the grocery store....because you are trying to think if you should date your check with the launch date...or the close date.

When a speeding ticket and a fine become an insignificant annoyance compared to negative feedback.

When I take a pic for Ebay I set the item on my dehumidifier.
The other day my son came in the room looked at the dehumidifier and said:
I alway's expect to see MOM sitting there!

when company comes to spend the night and you spend the afternoon stuffing your car with the bubble wrap and packing peanuts just to get enough space in the spare bedroom for them to sleep in...

When you jokingly tell your adult son 'our house looks like a box factory' and he says 'no it doesn't, in a factory the boxes would be neatly stacked flat!'.

From Auctionbytes:

Day 12) You open your Christmas present (from out of state Mom) early because you need the box.

Day 11) Book values are dancing in your head instead of sugar plums.

Day 10) Instead of going out to the stores to do Christmas shopping, you do Christmas sniping.

Day 9) You ask the checkout person at Sears if they accept PayPal.

Day 8) You get your Christmas decorations out and decide to sell them on eBay rather than decorate your house.

Day 7) The gifts you get (especially from out of town relatives) get put into the "keep" or "sell" pile!

Day 6) You set up an ebay ID that your family doesn't know about to sell the "sell pile".

Day 5) You can no longer accept house guests for the holidays because your spare bedroom is full of eBay items.

Day 4) At holiday dinners with family or friends, you unobtrusively lift all the china to read the backstamp.

Day 3) When you're standing in line at the post office with your stack of #7 boxes, customers that walk in behind you, roll their eyes, turn around, and walk right back out.

Day 2) You tell all of your friends to save the packing peanuts from their packages.

Day 1) You have auctions ending on Christmas Eve!

you use to collect certain items ( dolls, cards, stamps, etc. ) but decided that was childish or whatever and sold the collections on eBay instead.

You refuse to go to the family gatherings on Christmas and Thanksgiving because you have auctions closing late that day.

When you have to tell your friends or relatives that they can't get squat on eBay for their valuable collection of whatever that they brag constantly about because they finally decided to possibly sell it for the right price.

You break down and buy a brand new book your child wants to read, but you give instructions not to break the spine, dog-ear the pages, etc.. so you can resell it on eBay. (Happened yesterday).
