My biggest problem is that I forget to bid on things so I never end up being around during the auction! oh gosh. i know how that can be! =] remember that one time when someone on ebay was selling their collection all in different lots, and everyone missed bidding on most of them [ you know the one with the swan and the guinea pigs n such]. =]

I only started collecting on ebay 5 months ago and It felt sooooo dissapointing to loose but as time passes u tend to get over it more and yeh maybe u have to wait for another oppurtunity to get that set but it seems that they usually come up again eventually. I think it makes collecting more fun, especially when u snap up a BIN or win an auction cheaper than u expected!

So don't stress Misty and Foxhound. the time will come. ;D

I've only been doing this since September myself so I don't know how often stuff comes up, I do remember how mad I was when I missed all those cheap BIN sets in December, lol, and how much stuff I passed over because I didn't realize they were rare or I didn't want to spend a lot of money, hehe. It's better I didn't get that big lot, I just realized I have to put my electric bill on my credit card because I can't pay it cash until I get my paycheck in a week, hahaha. I spend waay too much money on this stuff But it makes me happy so it's okay.

Thanks for showing us the link, I think moast of us have seen it. I think most of the sets are way over priced and most seem to be very common sets but its good if you really want a set fast.

Thanks for doing that for us, Ree. That was very thoughtful. yeah, i believe we have all seen those and i think they are expensive as well. =[ if you run into any other vintage lps that do have an unusual title or heading, please do let us know as well. =]

what gets me is losing a set in an auction to a store that is just going to resell them.
i hate how some people on ebay who are selling, and yet obviously knowledgable about them, will split up the sets or sell them with the pieces mixed up. and then, they will kill you with shipping and handling.
