zimon66All because I did nothing but catch-up on missed sleep - I REALLY need to work on getting enough sleep during the week.
Anyway, as a result![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
q_slash sorry but my story bits are going to be late:(
I also didn't do anything for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hellsingreviews. The one story I wanted to review, have to wait for a second chapter on it *grumble* and I was so looking forward to making observations about Alucard's badly decorated bedroom.
Good news from Amazon - Hellsing Manga #2 has been shipped, so hopefully will have a package Monday or Tuesday and I can FINALLY see the Valentine Brothers in all their manga glory.
Scored yet another Hellsing doujinshi on eBay with no problems i.e. the guy I like to call "De Jerk". Said person has in the past come in at the very last minute (1 minute or less) of an auction's end time and posted a buck higher. There's isn't a huge bidding war on most of the doujinshis (usually only one bid, unless it's something like Solid&Etc or Alucard X Young Walter) also he's pulled this stunt numerous times on both me and other people in the past, and from observing his habits it looks to me he isn't a collector or someone who enjoys "bid-sparing" - what's happening is this guy is someone who simply enjoys taking something away from somebody else, that's the thrill for him. So as a result I place within 48 hours a high bid, that way if he pulls this crap and gets away with it, winds-up paying a high price. Really NAILED his ass last month, a doujinshi going for $5.99 thanx to me he wound-up paying &50 for it - since then he seems to have learned from the expensive lesson that I'm not somebody he can pull his bully-tactics on:) Pity I can't put a stop to his treatment of other bidders, because what he's doing while legal is morally wrong - here's someone who's been on eBay since 1999 and wrongly thinks that the Hellsing Doujinshi Section is all his and tries to drive everybody else off with the underhanded tactics - his days of bullying when it comes to me are over, I almost gave in and threw in the towel but then realized that's what he probably wanted me to do, so I decided was going to fight back and have so far done pretty well:)
OK, that's it for now.
