Yeah, it sucks when someone else is willing (or able) to spend more
than you for something you really really want, but that's life.  I
hardly ever win anything in auctions, although that has more to do
with how cheap I am than how much money I may or may not have to spend
on Lego stuff.


Alas I know this to be the truth.  I accept that, but its still fun to complain
once in a while.  I was not totally serious in my complaint.  No offense to Larry
here, but I just woke up from a nap and realized I had dreamed that I looked at the
TRAINS section of the 500 sets auction and EVERYTHING had the name Larry P on it.
Auugh!  Lego has taken over my subconcious!
