Now I know how you feel..

1. I get out-bid on a dream cel..not just by a 
little, but by a lot. I get left in the dust,,even 
when I have saved up and waited for this 
moment to come for ages. I figure that I have 
enough even if the price gets ridiculous I`ll be 
able to cover it. I thought that  I was ready..but 
guess what?  A cel  series that is expensive 
anyway nearly "triples" in value of the likes that 
I have never seen before. It had to happen on 
"my" dream cel, (of course the winner is 
probably thinking the same thing)  not  from 
any other  series , just the rare one that I want..

 Now I know how you feel.. 

2. I know how you feel when..the 
representative of the mailing/delivery service 
knocks at door  with a blue look on his face 
with a crumpled up package that had "do not 
bend" stamped a zillion times from front to 
back, but looks like it has been dug up from 
ground zero of the world trade center. The cel 
that you had waited to celebrate for..has been 
sent to cel heaven.

Now I know how you feel..

3. I know how you feel when another wish list 
cel appears, almost replacing that dream 
wish cel that you lost badly on only to bid 
aganist a very popular cel dealer with big 
pockets, and then you pray that maybe they 
are not that serious..not that wanting..but really
you know that you don`t stand a chance in hell   
of winning..and should just give up early  and 
go on a mad eating binge and drink a liter of 
Pepsi.".looking for love in all the wrong 
places" cause you just can`t find any online!

Now I know how you feel..(without the Pepsi)

4. I know how you feel when you come to the 
forum and complain about how you are 
suffering from your tight budget and all you get 
is "hey!, that`s the breaks,,Biatch!", put up or 
shut up! (all of the compassion of an ice-cube)

Now I know how you feel..

5. I know how you feel, cause all of this is true 
and it has happened to me too (minus the 
eating binge). So, you are not alone shit 
happens all of the time. And I care even, if I 
don`t respond to your post just remember.......I 
know how you feel...you are not alone.  ^-^.
