Seriously. Am I the only one who sometimes is
actually -happy- to be outbid on an auction? (I
am of course referring to Kamidake no Miko's
gorgeous larva n scythe cel that just ended on
ebay. Sooo nice!) Larva with the scythe has been
a wishlist item of mine for some time, and if I
hadn't bid, I would have been kicking myself
forever for not getting it. But at the same
time.. if I had won it, I would've had next to no
money for Animazement this weekend (between
dipping into con funds this week for a cel that
had to be one of the top 3 on my wishlist, as
well as getting laid off my new job after only
one day of work! grrr..)
I just never feel as bad about losing out on a
cel during an auction, because I can always tell
myself "I just wasn't willing to pay that much.
If I'd truly wanted it that bad, I could have bid
more and bought it." (Granted that would
sometimes mean selling off cels I have, but I've
yet to bid on a cel that had a net worth of more
than my collection..)
Then again maybe I'm just still just on a happy-
high from getting that other cel this week.
(Though geez if the Buffy and Dark Angel season
finales weren't enough to get to ya I dunno what
is! But I digress.)
So what say you? Am I crazy? Does this make
sense? Am I just really good at lying to
myself? ;-)
