Might As Well Syndrome - Super - 12-24-2016

Might As Well Syndrome

Are you infected?

Symptoms:

Buying one thing from the Auctions of Japan

Not wanting that single item to ship by itself so...

Might As Well search the sellers other items to save more on Fees and shipping within Japan

Now this develops into You Might As Well look for other things to buy in other listings to combine in the overseas shipping and save more money...and

When you find another item to buy, you Might As Well search that sellers other items to buy something at the same time to save even more money from Fees and shipping within Japan

Which now morphs into a Might As Well look for more things to add to the over seas shipment to save more money because the box will be so small...

And when you do find more items, of course the, Might As Well, circle continues to again search for other items from the same seller and...on and...on its goes.

There is no cure for the Might As Well Syndrome. Once infected you have to do it...you have to... so you save lots of money, you have to, just think of all the savings you will miss out on if you don't, ...you must spend more to save more, spend more, spend more, save more...

Yes, I'm a victim of 'Might as well syndrome', a long term sufferer it also extends into;

I've just bought xxxxxxx and it is marvellous, I wonder what else is in the range? After all it's so good I may as well try to get some more like it... A recent example being my 'discovery' of the Aussini 'Lego compatible' trains Smile

I've just seen xxxxxxx movie and on the way in got this collectible (i.e. the Rogue One metal pop-corn bucket) and I loved the movie so now everywhere I look and see Rogue One merchandise I'm weighing up if it would add to my bucket, poster, etc...

I guess this probably means I'm now on 'phase 2' of the disease Smile

Funnily enough. I haven't bought anything from Japan auctions yet.

Should I try? Tongue

Although you would be absorbed into the light of everlasting eternal bliss, I cannot recommend wrapping your arms (and wallet) around the likes of Morpheus!!
BEWARE!!....bewaaaaaaare. Smile

To my defense, my current buy was sparked by our notorious Super himself!!
...which led me to find my BPT New Years resolutions during an online search, which led me to justify picking up yet another few things, to fulfill my commitment to those resolutions.
So, it was mearly an act of responsibly to honor and duty that I make these purchases!!
...and Super's fault. Smile

Like the Zombie Apocalypse, once a human is infected with the Might As Well Syndrome, everyone they touch then becomes infected, very contagious.

Take the red pill and see how deep the rabbit hole goes, or take the blue pill and save your wallet, your sanity and your spare space Smile

The only relapse I've had was the purchase of a few capsule trains (well < 100 anyway) in order to try to increase my collection of Galaxy 999 trains Smile
