...stupid Y!J

%$#@, I really don't have any money.  Or rather, looks like I'll be putting off buying Ooeyama Kaden photos for yet another paycheck. 

But while I can order Ooeyama Kaden photos later (or perhaps even buy them in Japan myself), I have no idea when this will come up again, if ever.  And it's such a gorgeous poster T____________T

I'm sort of scared, though...I think just the chirashi went for about 3700 yen last time I saw it on Y!J.  I'm not sure if even I can spend more than 5000 yen on a poster, even if it's one that I desperately want -_-;  Well, we'll see where this goes.  That's the nice thing about setting an auction limit

Is it better if I put in my bid now, or later? *has been trying to stay away from actually purchasing things on Y!J lately*

There was a time when I had more sanity than this.

Put in a low bid now to make sure they haven't blacklisted Crescent (you have no idea how many times this happened to me at the last minute, when I couldn't switch to another service or ask a friend), and then bid up at the end.

indeed when I was bidding with crecent shop they always found stuff for not bidding ( this seller is not a good seller....not enough time to send your ticket in ...Japan ... they are so silly so i don t use this service anymore..

And usually I put my highest price first because the other can think "ouah she is rich ! i should give up" i s usually my way of thinking when I bid and be overbid immediately ^^... but anyway if a rich person want the stuff .... it won t change anything to biearly or late LOL

Who needs sanity if you can have that shiny poster instead?! ^___^

Sanity aside, it's overrated anyway, I usually make a small bid first and a high bid toward the end, to give competitors less time to react.

That's what I figured XD I already have a bunch of Zuka posters up in my bedroom (The Second Life, Ernest in Love, and shinyuki Elisabeth), and I'd love to add a pretty Micchan playing the sax to that collection.

(Although I'm not sure if I should take one of my current ones down or just buy a new frame. Four Zuka posters in one room may be overkill ^^;)

I might end up waiting until tomorrow anyway. I could bid now and put it on a credit card, but I'd rather not if I can avoid it.

*prays and knocks on wood that people continue not to bid on this one*

Remind me what there is besides Crescent and Celga, the latter of which I'd rather not use?

But you have a good point.

I always worry about being the first bidder, because then other bidders might think "this person is a pushover" and try to beat me. *sigh* Things can get really crazy in the last ten minutes.
