I have been feeling pretty crappy lately, and even written about it in three of my blogs. Before I can write anything depressing in this blog, eBay saved the day, or blog, rather.

I put up one of my rarer dolls up for auction on e-Bay: the PK001 Yoshiko Repaint. For some reason, this Series 1 repaint became one of the most sought after set among the regular Pinky St releases. I was lucky enough to find this doll over at Yahoo!Japan auctions. However, with most of the rare dolls, I put off opening them.

 
I’ve said over and over that I consider Pinkies as an investment. They provide me an outlet for retail therapy, while ensuring that I am buying something that I can resell for a good price later on. I buy when I have the money, and sell when I run out.

I never really expected Yoshiko would get such a high price. The most I expected from her was US$25. But $55? Oh my!

 
To the guy who tried to buy Yoshiko for Php 500 (US$ 12): Please do not insult my intelligence. You had the gall to tell me stop my auction, to meet up with you, to call you and to sell you my doll for Php 500. I know how much Pinky Street dolls are worth. They’re not just worth Php 500. Even the regular releases now are being sold for Php 550, and you’re expecting me to just hand over the Yoshiko Repaint for that price? And isn’t that kind of transaction going against e-Bay’s terms and conditions? Please. Venture out of eBay.ph and see how eBay really works.

Annoying buyers aside, I’m really happy about the outcome of this e-Bay auction. Now I have enough money to buy a new domain and a box of Moo cards!
