Might As Well Syndrome

[ripley802]

Shipping doesn't enter into my head equations, I just look at it as the cost for doing business so its not even in my thoughts. Like going into a Poker game worried about how much your going to lose, I like to think about how much I am going to win.

True.. it is only money...

Went down the 'might as well' path. Neville is on the way, and some lovely well wagons (and two trucks, and a log car) arrived yesterday for my Pack machines :3
I am quite pleased.

I have got to stop this. The "Might As Well Syndrome" has morphed into a different species. I now can't break myself from the habit of buying from Japan for the sole purpose of reselling here in the States. There are so many, many items that are readily available in Japan that most here in the States have never heard of or only seen in YouTube videos. I can't break myself, although I am trying very hard, of even though I don't need something, buying it when its a good deal. I convince myself that I am doing the US hobbyists a service for offering them the opportunity to possess something they never heard or seen of and along the way I can make a dollar or two to put back into the collection. How do I convince myself to just stop???....Is there no hope for me?!

Lost Cause

Haha.. same here at times. There is good money to be had if you can get a good deal including the fees and shipping..

LOL

My doctor has diagnosed this variation of M.A.W. as the problem with having just about run out of things to buy and I have the NEED to buy. He has suggested a two week Camp in which there is no technology to try and break me of the NEED to browse the Japan Auctions. Rather that playing stupid App games or reading the News reports which is always about something terrible, I dram pleasure from just browsing around the listings od the Japan Auctions even though there isn't anything in particular I am looking for. Trouble with that is...I end up buying one thing and then M.A.W. comes in to play and now rather than adding something I need to add to the shipping, I now grab up anything to fill up a delivery box......I have got it bad....Too bad I don't drink, smoke or take drugs, maybe that would help me get through this.

You are not a hoarder so you are ok. Also you should treat buying stuff as a way of starting your own business.

[Super]

Ha...no way do I want to do a business as there is not enough to be made for the time and trouble you go through. Not unless you like making a dollar an hour.

Please somebody Help me.....

I am not bidding or watching any items on the Japan Auctions or on Ebay. Its been a long time since this has happened. The drugs and therapy must be working on the 'Might As Well Syndrome' .... withdrawals

You should attend those abstain buying annoymus meetings

[Super]

Oh you mean the A.B.A.M meetings? I have a lifetime membership
