I had sent in my bid..and *usually* it's a good
thing to bid at the last minute...UNLESS this
happens -->

I actually lost this absolutely wonderful...the
*BEST* cel I had ever seen of Faye by 0 yen...0
dollars.. yes ZERO! Ugh...but BECAUSE I bid
later...well...the other person won :(  I'm
kicking myself for not bidding say just 1 yen
more!

Actually, this same thing happened to me on Ebay
on another cel...but I didn't want that cel as
much.  And the thing was...the cel was relatively
cheap for a great Faye cel.  I'll never get
another chance.  


And about not bidding and having less
control...it's a double edge sword.  Good in the
sense that you don't get carried away by last
minute impulses and bid *more* than you
should/intended to...but bad in the sense that
sometimes, it hits you that you *DO* really,
really want that cel...

It actually seems like YJ is *worse* than ebay in
terms of the popular series.  I guess Japanese
fans are more extreme...??  I'm glad they don't
bid on ebay :P...just look at the Gundam Wing
prices!!

hmm...by the way, I didn't see a naked spike on
YJ?...is there another bidding place I don't know
about?

I'm also bummed since I'm not at the con and
thus..probably missing out on a lot of great cels.
