Times when I realise that this website is just too unapologetically vast for my liking. Everybody I know tells me that I am spending too much time on eBay &#8211; ah, but if only you knew how much time I <i>really<\/i> spend on the site, heh &#8211; and I half-heartedly agree, and promise myself that I shan&#8217;t even think of typing in &#8220;collectibles.ebay.com&#8221; for the next three months. (Now there&#8217;s a tip for you, if you&#8217;re in India and want to buy comics off eBay, don&#8217;t type &#8220;www.ebay.com&#8221; on the browser, it redirects you to ebay.in. ) Don&#8217;t know why, but three months seems to me like a perfect rest-time from eBaying. Not four months, not six months, not even three and a half months, but three months. So I promise myself, and threaten myself with dire consequences, and then of course, I <i>have<\/i> to go and check out the new listings two days later.<\/p>\n<p>It makes me sit and weep, I tell you. Especially when it&#8217;s the end of the month and there is a COMPLETE Groo The Wanderer run up for sale &#8211; and by complete, I mean <i>complete<\/i>, all 120 Epic issues and 8 pacific issues, and even a couple of signed copies and two CGC Graded ones, and a couple of graphic novels to boot &#8211;  and another original art page at a very decent buy-it-now price. (No, don&#8217;t ask me which artist it was, I am pretty sure I would be lynched if I say anything.) (Oh, very well, it was Frank Quitely. I am getting obsessed with the guy, and that&#8217;s that.) And then there is a complete Starman run which I need, Starman being very high on my priority list. Then there is the friend of this LJ user from whom I am buying a pile of comics. How do I prioritize? How do I prioritize? Do I buy the Groo run or do I go for the Quitely page or the Starman series or the Wonderful Ashley Wood pages that are being sold for SO CHEAP or that Darick Robertson Transmet page or do I *whimper* forget all about them and go watch <i>Samurai Jack<\/i> at home?<\/p>\n<p>Ah, well, after that embarrassing display of inner turbulence, here&#8217;s something better.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i37.photobucket.com\/albums\/e59\/beatzosan\/ladies\/76398_jeon_ji_hyun_22.jpg\" width=200><\/p>\n<p>This is Jeon Ji Hyun, the lead actress of <i>My Sassy Girl<\/i>. *sigh* I think I&#8217;ll stare at this picture and let eBay run its own course.
