...when, as a seller, you become so enamored with your inventory that you just let it pile up and instead of selling, get cheaper in other areas of life.

You know your addicted when you have 200K in cards and buy a 1985 Ford pick-up for a grand. Dave.

You know you are addicted when you spend three days concocting a trade involving four people to obtain two beater T206s...

[Pythonfactory]

Well if Leon is willing to share his dreams...

I also don't really collect T206 although I do have a few. Two nights ago, I had a dream where I was on an adventure with several friends to collect one of every front in order to turn them in for a giant framed picture of the T206 Wagner signed by every player in the set. Only one of these pictures was available so their was an intense hunt to be the first to complete it. The rest of the details are kinda vague but I remember having to lie, cheat, steal, negotiate, and avoid being killed by the other collectors (and some gangsters who were out to make a buck) during the adventure. Last thing I remember was standing in front of the giant picture (we are talking like 6' x 6') hanging on the wall, examining all the individual autographs on it, and then my alarm for work went off =(

I know what you mean. I just spent $10,000+ in REA, and I'm trying to get another year out of a 1996 Honda Civic with 340,000 miles on it.

Those 90's Honda cars are damn near bullet proof. I bet you could keep going a lot longer with a good tune up

We have a Honda Civic and a Honda Accord. Both of them are going on 6 yrs old and they both run like a champ. (knock on wood)

Good one Craig. Zone I enjoy your passion.

My response to the original thread would be you know you are addicted when you begin to think of how much things cost in terms of vintage base ball cards. Hmm...new carpet or another rare back for my T206 back collection.

.... you win cards on ebay with money you don't have yet. Not good, Adrian.

"Dear -----,

I made a mistake I was to receive a large amount of money by the end of May from my previous job but so seems it will be only at the end of June 2013.

Please cancel this purchase I believe that the person who bid behind me was about 5$ off my high bid I am sure he will be happy to get a second chance offer.

I truly apologize.

Hopefully you won't do the same thing to the sellers of the dozen or so cards you have won in the last couple of days.

[botn]

Adrian can be a seller's greatest dream come true or worst nightmare depending on when you encounter him in his cycle. The risk is not worth the reward for me. Would hate to be caught up in that BS.

Looks like I'll be updating my blocked bidder list.....until he changes his ID for the not first, second or third, but forth time in 9 months. Really dude, stop picking your whim of the month as your ID. How about something more neutral? I think MountieWelcher is available.
