Default I feel like a real idiot today.......

I just ordered the QVC 'limited edition....yadda, yadda, yadda.....

anyway, the advertised price is approx. $25 USD + $8 for shipping ($4 if you live in the US) + they even hit me with my local sales taxes = a grand total of $38.50 USD


I actually paid this....am I on crack or something---this lapse in good judgement has really got me thinking that I am an idiot of the highest order.

I'm gonna spend $60 CDN on a CD I already have and a DVD that's worth probably $20 at best.

I hope you will find it in your hearts to ridicule me mercilessly so that I may never do this again. Please do your worst---drill it in so that you can make sure that I am aware of how big an IDIOT I really am.


Thanking you in advance for your support on this initiative.


Mikey D

You paid $60 canadian for a sh1t CD and a DVD with sh1t, cheaply produced, cheesy videos that nobody cares about. You couldv'e gone the Zanzibar or Brass Rail for a good night out but no, you wanted to blow your money on crap like this.

arg!

with that same amount of money you could've ordered a JoviTalk mousepad and a long sleeve DC.com T-shirt... Which maybe just enabled Peter to get rid of one of the pop up ads on the main site. But because you really wanted to order yet another copy of Bounce and a DVD that probably will be ripped & available online in no-time, those adds keep popping up all the time

You idiot! It's a waste of money - really

By the way...I forgot to mention that they said I probably won't be getting it until the end of May.....I have to wait 2 months before I see what I spent a shit-load of cash on.



GOD I'M AN IDIOT!!!!!!!

No, you're not an idiot, Mikey D, just a fan with too much money! I actually thought about buying it, but since I'm not working right now, I couldn't even convince myself it was a necessary expense!

Hey, maybe if you tell them you bought the QVC cd, they might let you post at Backstage again.

And, Captain_jovi, are you sure it was only $40 Cdn for the Tokyo Road cd, for some reason I'm thinking I spent closer to $60 Cdn.

Mike, did they say anything about paying duty? I hope you won't get that pleasant surprise at the end of May, or is it somehow included in the $38.

You should have gotten a friend in the USA to order it for you. Oh well... there ARE worse things to waste your money on.
