Overspent

1214
So I officially overspent this week, buying that samurai collection along with a mummy, Hermione, peeves, that self-loving showy professor that turned up in HP2, and a bunch of orange/blue/green fires. These amounted to $30 CAD. So I overspent about $10 this week. (Deng deng deng!!)
I should really stop eBaying for a while, perhaps a week or something. But there are still a few good deals coming up in a couple of days. eBay is evil in that it allows users to "watch" items that they are interested in, and once they watched it, they can't ignore the temptation. Shivers. Perhaps I will just turn into a Lego hobbyist and do professional Lego dealing for life. That way I can spend money on random "pieces of plastic junk" according to Tina without feeling guilty.
The success of my Lego dealing business will depend on where I get my Lego from. Not from eBay of course. I need to find ways to buy cheap cheap Lego in large quantities. Garage sale is the obvious way to go. Perhaps there are some auctions of illegal Lego import too, like those ones with jewelry. Nah, I will probably have to stick to the garage sales of families with grown-up kids or cruel parents who want their kids to grow up.
