Ouch. This hurts me inside. Never check the Wants forum? It's on the top of my CURE list. Maybe your buddy wants to sell? Haha. I can dream.
I have to say that I really find it lazy and a bit lame when people say things like this seriously in b/s/t. If you really wanted a toy you would be proactive and watch for them, not rely on someone about to sell to scroll through the hundreds of inane want/trade bait posts to make sure someone isn't sitting at home lusting after a toy but not doing anything about it. (Not calling you out, just a general peeve.)
There's a search function. You can search people's want lists. I don't watch the For Sale forum like a hawk, my apologies.
Exactly my point, if I were to sell something why would I go searching through the wants and doing your work for you. People are so lazy about "collecting" these days.
If I have one or two pieces I'm going to sell I do a search to see if there are people looking for it. Or if I have something that I know was once a hot item and people are still searching for I would do a search. However, if I have 5+ things I wanna sell then I'll just make a sales thread.
That was a warm and fuzzy moment . . . mentioned I'd missed out, only for toy karma to throw a sub retail $$$ one in my face 2 days later . . . good times!
At least you didn't get into a bidding war (while operating on three hours sleep) over a "Juice Clot" SkullCaptain that arrived all cloudy. I would have passed (and gotten the rest) if I had known that guy wanted it too. Ended up trading it for some cauliflower and a Batman Skullbrain. It looked too much like an orange Vitamin C tablet or something.
"Bee's don't get near enough love! Obscure fave: All-clear Devilock Bee - clear goodness with subtle gold or silver devilock graphics, and little devilock dude in his chest and two smaller guys in each hand. Suuuuweeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!" [/img] All-clear Devilock Bee being held by the DEKA. I love the bees!
Any chance of posting pics and dropping me a PM should it show up today appreciated. Sucky iPhone can't cope with Secret-B site!
I *really* like it... it'd look great with a spare set of plush guts stuffed in. Never ordered from SB tho...
I thought that it looked pretty cool, too. I like my bees so much I decided to make room on a couple more shelves for lots more!
