that sounds like my kind of luck too..Ive had 
problems trying to get a good xelloss, The one 
time I actually succeeded in getting a nice one 
on the hook...the guy I was trying to bargain 
with decided at the last minute to give it to his 
internet girlfriend who had just started to watch 
the series...grrrrrrr....
Im not one to discourage a slayers fan but It 
sucks just a little bit when you get all excited 
and then bad luck or idiocy strikes!
hehehe I made him buy me lunch to make up for it 
since I know him IRL..and Im not about to ruin a 
friendship over it..but you better believe I made 
him feel awful about it when my birthday came up.
