Shopping Carts

One of my stranger hobbies is virtual shopping. I go to the website of some company that sells stuff on the Internet and fill up the shopping cart. I leave the shopping cart full for a few days, then I empty it out and start over. Depending on what the website sells, I can easily get thousands of dollars of stuff in the cart, only to throw it all out and start over.

So the other night I went to a specialist tool distributor at www.micro-mark.com, which specializes in small tools for modelers, dollhouse builders and so forth. I filled my cart with about $400 in various things, then went to bed. But now my hobby may be biting me in the ass, because I went back today and just happened to look over the shopping cart, and I thought hey, I really do want all that stuff! All of a sudden I couldn't empty out the cart and start over, because all the stuff in the cart seemed impossibly cool (a miniaturized table saw? Oh yes!)

So here I sit, unable to click on the Empty Cart button, but unable to quite contenance clicking on the Check Out Now button.

Sigh. It's taking all the fun out of my shopping hobby.
