well I've been very addicted to YJA(was addicted to ebay a few years back as well) since I found out about proxy summer last year, and boy talk about unique collectibles, you name it, YJA's pretty much got it all! and just so happens that I had some extra money in bank saved up at the time, so I thought well, its about time to take my collection to a whole new level, so months went by as I watched my account being drained up bit by bit. By November, I've found myself over 2 grand in debt even with my weekly paid job..luckily the proxies in Japan are a patient bunch, but I was in a panic for the simple reason of all my loots being resold if I don't pay them back, and as I did a total calculation of what I had spent(well It's simply math, 8K in bank plus 2k's I owe+most of the money I made) anyways, it turned out that I've spent over 10K in the period of 4 month..and I wasn't collecting cels btw, I was collecting resin kits and anime figurines, for the kits I would proxy professional painters in Japan to paint them for me even with the crappy exchange rate, and boy was that a blast, felt like I was millionaire lol
cold turkey right away, anymore and I won't ever be able to pay them back..so uh..for some reason I decided to start a new collecting hobby this week
guess I thought its a great idea to start a collection when I'm broke, that way I won't get carried away even if I want to be-_-as for ways to stop this rampage, well that's what I'm here to find out^^;
