All I want for Christmas is it to be six months time

Posted by: flotsky In: diary

I bought an American gaming magazine yesterday. BIG BIG mistake. I now would like to own, but will have to wait a minimum of 3 months the following:

  • GBA E-card reader
  • Gamecube GBA adaptor
  • Animal Crossing
  • Phantasy Star Online parts 1 & 2
  • Gamecube Broadband Adaptor
  • All the Pokemon e-card set
  • All the Animal Crossing e-card set
  • Gamecube Keyboard
  • I think there is supposed to be a Phantasy Star Online e-card set as well
  • Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire for the GBA

Lets just say that it is possibly the most expensive magazine that I have ever bought.

And btw, this isn’t a Christmas beg list. None of this stuff is out for far too long, and I can’t be arsed with importing it and messing about with stuff like that. I am planning on funding the card habit by selling old cards on e-bay and then buying new ones with the funds. As I do have about 2000 cards, I think it is worth a go. I might even sell off some comics as well, the non-daredevil stuff. I think there may be a lot of people in the market for Bill and Ted’s excellent adventure #1 in reasonable condition.

I’m not that deluded, honest. I learnt my lessons in buying comics for profit after I got my hopes up for Little Shop of Horrors #1 back in the mid-80’s. I think I’ve sold my collection off a couple of times in my life, like completely, and never ever been able to persuade the shops to take it off my hands

He is the world’s leading investigator into P.Wyndham Little, takes a great interest in the works of Kurt Vonnegut, and gets all excited about gaming.
