Happy Thanksgiving to all and to all a good night....oops wrong Holiday saying.

Two More Minutes

I am at work preparing this journal on Thanksgiving Eve. It is two minutes before twelve and one of my co-workers is anxiously awaiting the proper moment to wish us all a Happy Thanksgiving. I can't wait to see what she is like on New Year's Eve. This is one of those holidays I work a triple, the shift going in and the last two going out. Pretty much I am working 18 of the 24 hours. I should go straight to bed but writing this journal seems more important. I also decided that whatever I make during this one day period will be what I allow myself to bid on a comic book.

There is a little over a week left in the auction and as in a previous auction I was the high bidder until the last three days. My highest bid was $550, not including the 18% buyer's premium. The item sold for a little over $1000.00 with the buyer's premium. I wanted to bid higher but couldn't without effecting my budget in a majorly negative way. This bid, for this particular book is on ComicConnect. It's nothing like eBay where you can win in the final seconds causing some unknown person to scream in a jealous rage. A bid in the last three minutes will only had three more minutes and a chance for someone else to bid. I found this out when I bid for my New Mutants #1 in a 9.9.

I will be at work when this bid ends. I can bid using my smart phone but there is the possibility that I won't be able to connect. The odd things do tend to happen at the most inopportune times. I figure before I go into work I will bet my maximum bet. I already have an idea what it could go for since I checked the GPA but I think I will wind up overpaying like I didn't with my only other ComicConnect auction but it will be so worth it.

Thanks for Reading...

...and Happy Thanksgiving
