Disciplining yourself to take pleasure in delayed gratification pays dividends.

This is why I don't go outside anymore.
There is too much
potential for
massive savings by buying on eBay instead of at retail stores.
The only problem is now I'm kinda-sorta impulse buying on eBay, but at least I do some kind of thinking and research before I pull the trigger, instead of taking home some incompatible or incorrect part and then having to do multiple trips back to the store to find out that they haven't got the right part anyway, I've replaced it with waiting 2-3 weeks for the part to arrive on the long boat from china, then getting bored with the original intention of the project and the use for the part.
But at least I'm saving tons of money!
