Have you ever been in this kind of a situation?

I am waiting on TWO big film purchases, (still waiting somewhat patiently, Kevin), and so nearly all my film money is tied up waiting for either one or the two.

and just what happens? Yep, you guessed it!

Films are coming out of the woodwork, (peoples collections), and IT'S SOO FRUSTRATING as I see films I'd really like but I can't bid on them!

AIGH!!!!

Anybody else been in this predicament?!

Hey Osi, If there are any films on my list that you're interested in, I'd be happy to put them on hold for you until you free up the funds. Send me a PM if that's the case.

Yes, it happens that when I have arrivals coming in the mail, and most of my spot cash is used up, there on EBAY or a subscription list, are more I want to get - Well, one must do without and make a note about it for future reference - Films make their way around in time, I waited a long time for some of my want-list to appear, and a few did managing to acquire them, so that makes my list that much less - What gets my goat is, on EBAY only, a seller will not have a "buy-it-now" option on some films, they're smart, they want to gain as much as they can, and that often leads to unusually higher bids - Shorty

Installment, dude? I don't install too much, but I do get frustrated with ebay.

Although I do get a sadistic kick out of how high some of these bids go, (as Joe mentioned) for films that aren't worth a buck.
I think in those cases it's "The Attack of the Newbie Film Fiend", and they are always amusing.
