I have just collapsed in TOTAL SHOCK. Give 
me just a moment to pull myself together. 

Holy freaking moly! I cannot BELIEVE the 
numbers after the $ sign. Totally beyond me 
why someone would be that crazy! I mean, 
fandom is one thing; but . . . geez, did they win 
the LOTTO? 

It's further proof that eBay really IS *evil*. That 
price went WAY too high for reason. This is a 
scary trend. 

But all that aside, I'm really sorry for you. I can't 
think of a bigger Ryoko fan than you, really. I 
feel your pain. Who knows, maybe their check 
will bounce. Here's hoping you get another 
chance.
