We really need to set-up a group escrow account ...

Well, I got priced-out again on another auction item ...



This time, the item went for 32,500 yen, about $285 before the add-ons; final price to me, had I kept going, $350 or more, depending on when the other person would have fallen off. Even I have to stop at some point, and we had gone a half-hour beyond the close of the auction-end time. One of those auctions where, as long as people are bidding, the time resets for an extra 5 minutes; I had started when the bid was 6,250 yen ($55).

With 160 people still stopping by this site, it would have cost us $2-3 each to have bought this; hi-rez scans for most people, sure, but the option is nothing but this single, low-rez scan of page 9 ... I really should set-up an auction escrow account for those interested ... oh well ...
