Lady Gaga "Born This Way" autographed booklet

 
Ok, I totally wasn't expecting I could win it but it happened. I was lucky enough to place a bid as soon as I came across this listing on eBay, and was keeping an eye on this item about an hour before it ended (I was still the only bidder that time and that was pretty common as many buyers would do last minute bidding or use the automatic bid system on their behalf) - however the listing ended unexpectedly approx. 40 minutes earlier and I eventually won it before others could place their bids.
 
I was really surprised and then I checked the listing again and found that the seller relisted the item for a short while before cancelling the new listing, so I assume he/she accidentally relisted this thus making whoever that already placed the bid a winner.
 
AUD10.00 winning bid + AUD5.00 postage (from NSW) is what I paid for

Viva Forever! Ginger bargain

 
Super-duper-crazily excited.
 
A box of Spice Girls items (yes, including the highly sought after Ginger promo version of "Viva Forever" - which I thought I'd never gonna have it) for just AUD50.00 picked-up from an 'ex-Spice fan' at Nollamara.
 
I just didn't know why I woke up thinking about checking things out at Gumtree, I randomly searched for some stuffs and also typed in "Spice Girls", this listing popped up and I couldn't believe my eyes on what I saw especially the Ginger single. I didn't think twice and contact the seller by text straight away, luckily she was being helpful and reserved all the goods for me, and then I picked it up at her place in the evening with a colleague.
 
Amazingly dreamy bargain but it's real! *partying*



One way to get the Ginger Spice limited edition release was by writing in 25 words why you like the Spice Girls, the 500 most creative entries win (a competition entry card is included in each Viva Forever AUS limited individual cover singles).
 
I asked the seller but she said she couldn't remember how she got it, possibly from a magazine competition. Anyway, here is it:


 
Spice Girls "Viva Forever" Ginger cover Promo CD [only 500 copies worldwide - AUS competition prize]

Nice to expand my Spice Girls collection a bit. :)
