[antoj.livejournal.com]

THANKS MAN :___: i was like seriously freaking out when i placed my bids. eBay updates in real time so I saw the prices shooting up suddenly in the last 30 seconds. BUT LITTLE DO THEY KNOW I AM BEST AT BID SNIPE. OHOHOHOHO.

and psh duh everyone that hates bid snipers are just butthurt cuz they always lose to them. xDDDDD

[kyogres.livejournal.com]

A bit random, but I hate the new real-time ebay updates because it makes it easier for everyone and their mom to snipe. I liked it better the old way when you had to mash f5 and hope your internet didn't crash at the 5 second mark.

[antoj.livejournal.com]

HAHA I know i'm not sure how i feel about it either, tbh. I remember how exciting it was to bust the crap out of f5. HOW DARE THEY TRY TO MAKE EBAY EASIER TO USE. >:U

[zenity.livejournal.com]

LMAO omfg bro. Congrats!!! This is epic :D

But yeah LMAO wanna do that pika auction stuff? I could always use cell phone pics derp

[antoj.livejournal.com]

DUDE YEA I NEED SOME EFFING MUNZ. idk how well it will go my MIB auction thing is only at like fifteen bux I AM ANGER. but w/e w/e every bit helps I suppose. :I

[zenity.livejournal.com]

Lol I hear ya bro. :c I thought the poochyena would go higher too.. FFF BUT I remember gin saying something about the pika/plusle/minun plush and tha it was rare...

But yeah! When I get home I'll take those pics and email them over so you can post the auction up. :D you can have people send the money to you and then you can split the cost with me hurr. Plus shipping D: lol.

[antoj.livejournal.com]

YEA WELL I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT POOCHY WAS RARE TOO I AM DISAPPOINT. :I :I :I :I

but yeah anything will help i guess. send me your wanting-to-start-them-at-bids with the pichurs too, ok?

[zenity.livejournal.com]

Okay sure! Uhm I rly have no idea what to price these at, maybe all of them will start at $5 except the plusle/minun pika at $10? :c FFF maybe they're all worth a little more, I really have no clue D: gin would know how rare the plusle minun plush is.. Fff

[cyprith.livejournal.com]

YOU WIN THE INTERNETS IN THE AWESOME CATAGORY! I AM VERY HAPPY FOR YOU.

Also, I think we should kick anyone with obviously OOC-I-Don't-Even-Care-I-Wrote-Him-Touchy-Feely-On-Purpose Charon off the comm.

And then send them that picture.

[antoj.livejournal.com]

YEA PSH DUH. I AM QUITE PLEASED AS WELL, there will be more retarded fangirling ahoy when the stuff actually arrives in the mail too!! (AND ITS SENDING UPS SO THIS MEANS TRACKING NUMBERS OH YEAAAAAAA)

and srsly like i so agree. but then the comm would only be left with you, me, eyebrowaddict and thekayla

[okapifeathers.livejournal.com]

Congrats!

It's okay, we've all spent crazy amounts of money on things we don't need. If I found signed Teen Titans things I would sell my body to science if it meant I could afford it. xD

OF COURSE IT WOULD HELP IF I COULD ACTUALLY FIND THE THINGS I'M LOOKING FOR. D:

[okapifeathers.livejournal.com]

ARE YOU ON MY F-LIST YET?

NO YOU AREN'T.
WHY NOT?

haflSHDbfkjdsabfuksdgfka

I <3 Terra. Seriously, I need more hardcore TT fan friends! :D

(I sort of cosplay Terra maybe. Yeah.)

[antoj.livejournal.com]

I CAN TOTALLY RELATE TO THE ALL-THE-FANS-HATE-THEM THING THERE

[okapifeathers.livejournal.com]

I KNOW WE HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION ABOUT IT EARLIER.

I wish I could love the whole fandom, but some people are just so wanky that it makes me embarrassed to be part of the fandom. D:

[okapifeathers.livejournal.com]

I would totally have the toys if I didn't find them so ugly. xD I collect good quality pokemon stuff, so my standards are uber high. I sort of like her bust though, and it's pretty cheap.

Right now I'm pinching pennies for the Raven and Beast Boy animation maquettes (uber costly, but they're my holy grails of TT D:) I can't even find them on ebay anymore, and I already missed both of them once...

I'm currently making my Terra shorts and such, planning to wear her to Anime Evolution and NY Comic-con. I'm the leader of a budding TT cosplay group, and we've got BB, Raven, Star, and like a bunch of random Titans. :D I already have Terra hair, so no problems there. Just have to dye it a few shades lighter...

I feel sad that most of the hate came from Raven fans, and fans who fight about pairings. :/ It seems to be that you either like Terra, or Raven, and never both. I'm the crazy hardcore BBRae fan who's next favorite character is Terra. xD

[okapifeathers.livejournal.com]

May I ask why you dislike Raven so? I'm not going to try and convert you or anything, just curious. x)

I'm one of those people that are like "sure, BBTer for the time where it actually happened" but otherwise it's Raven for me. Raven is the source of many lulz.

Sorry if I'm freaking you out with my explosion of fandom. xD

[okapifeathers.livejournal.com]

I can totally see where you're coming from. I think my main thing is that when I was first introduced to Raven, I didn't see the 'goth clique' thing at all. I just saw a sarcastic person who makes for funny situations.

I guess that's sort of strange because the first episodes I saw on TV were all three parts of The End.

I didn't really see her as your generic 'emo' crowd pleaser, mostly because I didn't take her as an outwardly gothic person. She's grey because of daddy, and wears the clothes because it's comic reference. I can totally see how she'd fall into that stereotype though.

It all depends on how you viewed her in the series, and I didn't take her closed off-ness very seriously.

And see, this is why I hate to call myself a Raven fan, because of all the fandom wank. It's truly ridiculous, and I hate it especially because both Raven and Terra are my favorite characters. People seem to lose all respect for each other simply because of character preference. I seriously hate it when BBRae fans try to push the fact that Beast Boy and Terra's cannon screen time wasn't true or w/e. It clearly happened, and it clearly meant something. It was an important part of the comic as well!

I recently had a marathon for TT on New Years, and everyone wanted to skip Terra's arc because they all hate her... I nearly kicked them out of my house, I kid you not. :/

I'm glad I found someone like you who's just as fed up as me so I don't have to just whine to people who don't care. I'm actually planning to write a Raven/Terra friendship fic that takes place after the final episode. I'm sure it can be done, with careful characterization. :)

[antoj.livejournal.com]

Dude it's not only that it's signed, but I'd say 95% of the stuff offered there is stuff that isn't available on the market. (ok, so you can download the comic in digital form for free off ign, but i think printed copies >>>>>>> digital copies)

THE SIGNING JUST MAKES IT EVEN MORE DELICIOUS.

The main shirt they showcased for the lot is suuuuuuuper cool too. i bet it will be 90000 sizes too big for me though ;__; but w/e!!!!

[antoj.livejournal.com]

I bought the ps3 when it was $400 dollars. :I

I KNOW I KIND OF SHAT BRICKS WHEN THE PRICE SHOT UP TO THAT AMOUNT AS WELL. LOOOL. It was v close to my max bid, which, if it had gone over I would have lost but w/e w/e. I WON AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS OH YEAAAAAAAAAAAA ~drop kicks some hot dogs~

[antoj.livejournal.com]

HAHA THANKS. it's a picture from the comic book |DD I REALLY LIKED IT SO YEA.........ICON'D

[h1n1vulpix.livejournal.com]

Ooooh man congrats!! :D I'm happy for you! It's awesome when I see people win stuff like this. Badass sniping skills, yo.

[antoj.livejournal.com]

HAHA THANKS |DD I am quite pleased myself. especially because ebay says these items have been shipped already like wtf amazing

[tortoises.livejournal.com]

hyeah. \o/

[kyogres.livejournal.com]

Yaaaaaay! That is AMAZING! (Though you probably should start selling off your soul collections because ebay sellers mean business with that "payment due within 7 days" clause.)

The sniping screenshot is amusing. (Why do people "snipe" at the 30-60 second mark?) How close did you manage to cut it on both auctions?

[antoj.livejournal.com]

OH YEA...well I had like $130 in paypal. The rest went on my CC. I will need to sell some more junk though if I want to break even...er, at least pay off this bit off my card ASAP. last thing i need is more debt baww

AND LOL I KNOW. That one guy that bid another minute before I was like "LOL SNIPING FAIL" And uh, I generally bid with two windows open. One to watch the timer, and one on the "CONFIRM BID" screen so I just gotta click 1 button to OK my bid. Basically, I cut it in the last 10 seconds on both of them. They both ended at 11:00:49PST and my bid on the inFAMOUS lot was in a second or two after the Resistance jacket. So like...6 seconds left?

The best bid-sniper ever was when my bid was put into the system the very second the auction ended.

That is like the best sniping job I have ever done. I bet the person watching that auction was pissed beyond all reason though. :'D :'D

[kyogres.livejournal.com]

I also use the two-window tactic, though the closest I've cut it is 4 seconds (thanks to a computer lag). I try to bid in the last 8-9 seconds in case the page fails to load.

[antoj.livejournal.com]

Yea the 8-9 is generally what I shoot for too. The inFAMOUS lot came a bit closer because both the jacket and the lot ended at the exact same second, so essentially I was sniping two lots at once. No one else tried to snipe the jacket though. LOL
