Here's what we have so far (I changed my original verses slightly and Peter
C. added his excellent additions):
_____________________
When you bid much too high, for something you must buy, that'sa ebay
New Old Stock makes you drool, just like pasta fazool, place your bids.
Bea-nie Babies, perfume, and a new shop vacume, that'sa ebay
Bumpers of chrome, new seat foams, for the wife, a cellphone, sell the kids.
When a part hits eBay, I don't care what they say, I'm a-buyin'
If its something I need, and despite all your greed, I'll be tryin'
I'll bid up to the top, can't help it, can't stop, though I'm cryin'
I want that old part 'cause I'm an old fart and I'm dyin'

Keep em coming!
