Ebay gets crazy sometimes

I've never had a bidding war go in my favor before, but it looks like I may have been blessed by the Ebay gods with a recent auction. I placed this Yoda figure on Ebay:

He's currently at 66 bucks and these two guys have been fighting it out for him. Craziness. I'm in the process of selling off pretty much all of my collectibles, and Yoda here has been with me since he was first released, waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 1997(or so) so he holds a special place in my heart. I hope that when he sells though the people buying him aren't deadbeat bidders. Seems like Ebay's been getting a lot more of those these days. Must have something to do with that no negs on buyers thing their brilliant minds came up with.

On a completely unrelated note, I have to go to a birthday party tonight for a friend of mine. Here's a picture of her for all the lonely hearts out there:

I love old Sophronia (who would kill me for posting her picture) and she's a bigger nerd than I, but man this party is going to have waaaaaaaaay to many people for an antisocial person like me. I guess I'm not really antisocial as much as I'm just offensive, but the two can be buttbuddies I think. There are going to be 20 people crammed into a space that could comfortably hold 10 at best. Blah. Oh well, I need to stop complaining.

By the way, I finally saw a different wave of DC Classics figures at TRU yesterday. I'm currently putting my collecting on hold, but those are some great figures. Of course, this guy had cleared out Wonder Woman, who was the one figure I probably would have bought in spite of myself. I told my wife and she suggested we club him with her purse.

My wife is violent...
