I decided I could go $50 more. It happened to be enough.
Yup, as I said, you only needed to bid an extra $20 to beat me, and you did!! Congrats Kaga! BTW, I liked your old avatar, it was awesome!! That's because Iron Chef Japan is awesome!! :lol:
Same reason someone would pay $1,000+ for a rare coin. It's rare, and you probably won't get a second chance at it. Welcome to the world of collecting.

Yup, most people just don't realize how serious people are about collecting. It can be from any hobby from football cards, coin collecting, to Pokemon, Magic, and more!! If you love the game as much as to where you have a strong passion about trying to "Collect them All", then such collectors will spend what it takes to get that coin or card, or some other rare item. As I stated, if they ever had a super rare Charizard deck box, I would be bidding up around $2,000 since, as Squirtle puts it, we apparently happen to just have money laying around....
Congrats again Kaga!! This auction was fun and interesting! Oh, and the seller emailed me saying they have another deck box, and gave me a 2nd chance offer of $425.... I might have to pass on the offer though. Any other takers out there? :thumb:
