Gawd, I feel for ya! Cel collecting is actually 
something I truly love as I've never collected 
anything before (seriously anyways), but darn it, 
it hurts to get beat outta nice cels!! Itai!! >_<

I'm so sorry things aren't going your way! I get 
so worked up over auctions myself, and since I'm 
willing to go all out for something I *really* 
want makes it worse to lose it! I hope you find a 
shirtless Spike someday!! *crosses her fingers 
for you*

Suddenly, it seems my luck with snagging nice 
cels went dry, too. =( Or if I snagged them, they 
get lost in the mail (see Olba thread above... 
=P). Jeesh!! And it was funny in a morbidly 
depressing way to see this topic here because I 
was *just* now outbid on a cel at ebay. What made 
it worse was I was bidding on it for my sister, 
who is at work. It was a *gorgeous* close up of 
Ken from "Weiss Kreuz", and it's so hard to find 
Ken-kun cels that look nice!! 

Man... *whines* I was watching that auction all 
day for her... when it got down to the wire, I 
was hitting refresh every bloody second, counting 
down the seconds in my jittery state. Then, with 
16 seconds left I hit refresh, and 
BOOM!! "Bidding is Closed for this Item" and my 
userid wasn't anywhere to be seen!! Shimatta!! I 
hit the desk, and cried!! Now I have to tell my 
sister I lost her Ken-kun cel... Eep!! Not 
looking forward to this... =(

*sigh* Okay, there's my bad day. Gomen... Heh, if 
there's gonna be a pity party, I'll bring us the 
sake! o_O
