Burning a Hole

[Tnerb]

I am dying to spend some money.

 

I can't wait till the end of Comicconnect's auction on Friday. In fact I want it to end now just so i know if I will win or lose the book that I want. The money in my pocket is brning a hole and after all the sales this weekend after Thanksgiving I am surprised I didn't buy anything. I have been dying to get a PS3 since they came out but feel what is the point without a HDTV.

 

The DD #168 I was watching just ended on eBay and that book sold for $535. I didn't bid on this item because of what I am watching in ComicConnect's auction. I was ready to bid $450 but refrained in case I won. I can spend that amount on one book since I lost the bidding for the original artwork, but I cannot bid that amount on each of the two books I want.

 

I will bid on the morning of the last day of the auction and hope for the best. The auction ends when I am at work. I will be in the middle of my shift and if I can't have an emergency bathroom break I know that this book might also pass me buy. If I am not mistaken though when a bid is placed in the last three minutes another three minutes are added and in this instance it might give a person pause whether they really want it or not. For me at least it is easier to splurge on a book when I budget for it.

 

I am slightly anxious I am going to lose. I felt this way before when I was bidding on the New Mutants #1 in a 9.9. I know I shouldn't because I also know if I lose...I lose and I am OK with that.....I think. This book might be closer to a OAK book than I would care to mention. Currently I am still the number one holder of this book and would claim a miracle if I could win it at this nominal price. I guess by Saturday we will know the outcome.

 

Thanks for Reading
