It's not really so much that I was so horribly 
scarred by the experience. ^_^ I just don't 
really care much for guessing games, and the 
experience didn't do anything to improve that 
feeling. ^_^ If I really, really, really wanted 
something the other person had because it was an 
absolute dreamcel, I'd probably be sending my 
offer in via homing pigeon if they wanted me to. 
^_^ But for the most part, even if something is 
very nice and I covet it very much, it's easier 
to talk myself out of an impulse buy if it's 
being offered in a format I'm uncomfortable with.
