Warm and Fuzzy...

I'd been hearing scads of good things about this series so I finally bit the bullet and got it. I was very tempted on Free Comic Book Day to get it as part of the buy 2 get one free deal they had, as this series is also collected in three digest books. However, buying the hardcover (which just looks sexy) new at Elfsar would run $44 plus tax, so I turned to my old friend Ebay. Here I was able to snag it for $36.30 including shipping. It's very pretty and in reasonably good condition (some minor wear on the dustjacket). I'll do a review of it once I read it so stay tuned...

Getting a ride to Ebay is half the trick.

Generally, packages coming your way in the mail do make you feel wonderful. Maybe it's because a few weeks pass between ordering it and getting it that somehow in your mind you think you're getting it for free...
Almost all of the time, I only use ebay to buy things that are otherwise unavailable to me (antiquated toys and games). The other times are when someone with some kind of silly phobia to owning a credit card requests that I buy something for them. I usually do, provided I know them well and that the amount isn't that much. I draw the line when someone asks me to buy some common-gutter item that you can buy anywhere (ie. watch -- I'm looking at you Derrick).
