Ahu, you are so right!
Fortunately, with e-bay you don't have to stand face to face with the guy.

Heh! For me that is part of the problem. I think I could be more persuasive in person. You know, use a little psychology such as, "I'm bigger than you and if you outbid me by $50 again I'll have your skull on my shelf."

That sort of thing. Heh heh heh!

My worst fear is to see someone leaving the thrift shop or whatever with a coveted mug in hand, without even knowing, or caring what it is.

Luckily I can be relatively certain that my local competition is probably somebody I know, so even if they scoop up the find of the week, I'll likely get to see it in person and enjoy it. And vice versa.

Just like Raffertiki's comic...

No kidding!

Man, am I ever paranoid!
I think I need one of those Damon's Mai Tais to relax me a little.

You buyin' the first round?
