The Wonders of eBay

The Espousa has been after me to tell her what I would like for Christmas from the Progeny and Herself. I have been watching and waiting on eBay for a suede coat made by a particular Italian manufacturer. A seller (in Italy) from who I have bought in the past has had the item I desire but not in my size. I have emailed and asked when he might have one in my size and he has responded, "Just wait."

Well, I've waited and told the Espousa not to do anything for me, lest my coat show up the day before Christmas. Well, nothing yet, but the Progeny and Espousa both have Barbour coats and the Espousa said she wanted me to have one also. Looked on eBay and there was a Barbour coat in my size and the style we could agree on. The point of this is I bought the coat from Germany, having it shipped to the sister's place for Christmas and am doing it at less than 40% of the comparable cost that I could get one here in Cheese Country. The wonders of eBay. I think this is where I came in.
