I cant keep track

please list your names so I can print them out and tape them to my screen as not to bid against you by mistake.

doesn't do much for celga or rinkya peeps !

but maybe it'll help others...

damn i should just set up a frickin account. haha!

well..what..should I just not collect anymore? or like beg permission?

WTF.

just bid against people. get yours!

i'm with ramos, but if you are going to try not to step on anybody, it should apply to all.

I am tempted to be a dick and do just that. I can spend an unlimited amount of money on this shit. I have been trying to make it fun, not a war, but I keep getting like bitched at. it sucks..hell I even eat shit on trades to try and be cool.

its bumming me out.

you let me know what i am and am not allowed to bid on.ok?

jesus.

and how is that possibl;e/ hey i know..how about I fucking give you all my shit then come over once a week and clean your house as well? maybe you want a new car too?

chill!!! not trying to "I FART A LOT" here. i'm kinda am out of the whole thing anyway.

basically i'm just trying to point out that it will never really be "fair" for anyone. someone will always have better resources, different timing, etc. etc. etc. buy what you want. it will probably come back around YJA anyway, eh???

i just try to not be a jerk in general. although i have my moments.

to be absolutely clear so this doesn't need to be rehashed again?
i think you personally should buy whatever you want frank.
i was against not bidding against people in the first place. okay???????

im gonna start collecting twim bomberkids.

I KNOW no one wants thos, right?

I can see it now..a galaxy of malformed fingers..

I don't generally bid on Yahoo Japan so here's an outsider question: what's up with this not bidding against each other? I thought that was the point of an auction. I buy stuff for my wife's collection sometimes on eBay. It's always the same people, many of whom I know through correspondence or previous sales, and we all bid against each other all the time. In fact, if I don't see people I know who are serious collectors on the bidders list I worry that there's something wrong with the item. Anyway, please don't post your ebay names, because if I want something there I'll bid the price I'm willing to pay. Not only that, I'll probably snipe it if I can!

theres wa sa week on ebay when a bunch of crap got bidded up insanely...I figured
better to coordinate and like try to get shit at reasonable prices.

the truth is I can pay any amount for something, but that sucks, right? not fun.

i love my SB but honestly i liked them a lot better when i had to WORK to get them.

i'm also against posting ids. i know too many already!

I worked many years to have toy money.

anyways..whats the deal with people not wanting a direct bid account? it doesnt cost extra. all they want is a credit card to bill too.

?

I am not into the direct bidding because I don't want to spend credit on toys. I can't trust my self. I need to spend real cash on toys. I do think about it all the time because there are a lot of little items I want to get but don't want to bug people to bid for them.

jeees, haha!!! we are posting in totally different directions Frank!

by "work" i mean: scour YJA and other JP websites morning noon and night!!!

and i thought there was a $15 a mo. service charge for an "account" with celga. unfortunately even 15 makes a diff for me.

1 time 15 dollar charge.

I also 'hunt'..to the point of travelling to Japan and finding shit in the street.

I hunted so much I ended up making toys for a living.

I have a card that is only used for YJA and I make myself pay it off completely every month.

I enjoyed watching the bugula sell-off and S7 hoard distribution (mainly because I sat on the sidelines).
The only thing that sucks about it is if you are wasting money by way overpaying for stuff. I figure the value of an auction item is what the number 3 bidder paid. Number one is willing to pay more than anyone else in the world, and number 2 is often just as nutty. That said, I've won my fair share.

that is not work. that is some lazy, hurt your eyes stuff. I admit I use the net for lots of research but the real work is hitting the street and going to stores. for the last two summers I traveled to so many toy/comic stores in the US(and record stores) to look for weird toys and collectables. You got to get out there to be "working".

I have about 2000 toys in my collection.

I overpaid for

Bearbrick 1 series letters ( my gal just HAD to have em)

Bape exclusive pink 12" Pointman

and lately 4 0r 5 of the SB joints.

luckily, most everything else I got good swindles on.

wow. okay, bow down to coolness. it's work for me. i would step back and remember that we all don't share the same lives and i don't live by your standards like you don't live by mine.

Then you should be easy to bid against

Not to get in the middle of this but ive personally decided to take the CC route also-got an offer in the mail,got it approved, and im just waiting for the info/card to come...Youve just gotta do like Frank said-pay it off everymonth no matter what.Just call them and have your limit lowered if you dont trust yourself,which i have the same problem Ramos..If i see it and want it im gonna buy it-hahaha anyway maybe a good idea to stop the "bidding courtesy" and return to good old friendly competition..Were all buds here and can do this no prob-no need to get ugly-This is the cool board remember -BTW Happy Turkey day!!

The CC way is the only option for me being International and it is certainly a trap. I am focussing on keeping spending to a minimum at the moment to get some breathing space and wipe my CC debt - then act all grown up after that and keep it clean. It's easy to just grab stuff online with a CC as you don't actually see the cash leaving your hands at the time.
