#Hesitating over 3000 yen only spend that and then some in the end

[agallimaufryofoddments]

Hi, scans anon here! Thank you. I thought maybe they would be only available through bidding after searching but I wasn't sure. It seems expensive to acquire and import, where I live for example shipping costs very much. I hope you won't spend even more money on the sheets again just for scanning! You already do a lot for the fandom. You are also very nice for offering to do so much, like post the pictures, but don't push yourself, you seem busy. Best of luck studying abroad, have a great year!

“I hope you won’t spend even more money on the sheets…”

Well, anon, I have good news and good bad news: on the one hand I haven’t bid the 3000 yen on the loose-leaf sheets yet…but on the other, I discovered today that I have had a tab open for the past several weeks to a listing for a used copy of the Settings/Research Materials Collection. Whoops. Completely forgot about it. 

(In my defense–or perhaps to my condemnation–the tab was nestled in a jungle of its brethren):

(No, that is not the only window I have open. Yes, the others are similarly cluttered with tabs.)

The listing to my great chagrin does not describe the book’s condition or provide photos of the book itself (its preview image is the scanned cover), but uhhhh I went ahead and. Bought it. (i.e. I forked over money to proxy, which will do the buying proper).

I may have also, er, bid on those loose-leaf sheets as well. 

And gone on a bit of a Baccano! spending spree the last few days, besides. 

(Speaking of Baccano!-related items, I definitely did not receive any Baccano! items in the post yesterday, because if that happened that would have meant I spent money earlier this month on Baccano! items too…good thing there are no Baccano! items sitting on my bed right this second…)

“I hope you won’t spend even more money”–yeah, so did I, anon, so did I. “I hope you won’t spend even more money,” I muttered to myself. “This will be the last one,” I said. “This will be the last one,” I said, an hour later. Forty hours later: “This will be the last one,” I insisted, opening five new tabs. “I am a paragon of self-control and the one true acronym of impulsive.”

I’m afraid I’ve spent quite a bit more than 3000 yen already… at least the spree is coming to an end, now (and once it does, will not happen again for quite a while). It’s likely not going to happen anytime soon, at least, but admittedly a big factor is what sort of items happen to be on sale and/or up for bid and how hard-to-find those items are…

(The latter factor is the main reason for this spree, in fact; the items I ran across mostly fall in the ‘very hard to find’ category. A couple items in particular I was particularly gobsmacked to see… I look forward to sharing them eventually.)

Thanks for the kind words, anon. May my wallet rest in peace.
