Anyone an Emailca$h member?

I'm a recovered and reformed Emailcash addict. I was a member since.. as long as I can remember which was probably way back in 2000 or so. I was sooo excited about it before - kept logging on everyday to get the daily free 5 points. I was so cheap and broke I couldn't buy anything myself to earn more points hahhaa.

Back then the exchange rate for cash was $2.20 per 100 points. These days you'd find it hard to get $1 for 100 points! Plus you could buy heaps more things as well - now you can only get things at the auctions but you'd definitely get ripped off if you did. There are heaps of cheap stuff up for auction and everyone bids it up to waay over the recommended price. I've seen a $10 phone card go for about $15 ecash! The sheer lunacy of it is enough to make a person cash out their entire ecash into real money ... which is exactly what I've done ;)

I guess you can say that my patience paid off - a little. I'm now waiting for about $210 separated into several cheques to arrive in the mail. After that, who knows, I think I can make better use of the money than buying overpriced phone cards and MP3 players. I might get myself a wireless keyboard/mouse ;)
