Or OK I know I said I wasn't going to bid on a book but...

I couldn't resist. I saw a book that I liked. The page distinction wasn't that great but it was a copy of Daredevil #16. The book was graded by CGC at an 8.5. I decided to see what I could afford and tapped out at $135. The book was won at only a few dollars more. Could I have bid higher, sure, but then I'd be scrambling more than I am.

With work slow and a vigorous plan to pay off what I owe a bit sooner than later winning that book would destroy my long term goals, but yet???We all have the things that keep us calm. Drinking for some, eating for others, a few cups of coffee at three in the morning for others. Bidding on comic books I want is one of those things for me...as long as I keep within my budget. Someone mentioned recently in one of their journals, a journal I need to find so I can comment there, about going over what they can spend.

This was how I won my Daredevil #1. I placed the bid thinking there was no way I could win. I did the same thing with the Sub-Mariner #38. I never placed a bit that I couldn't afford, if I were to do something like that I would probably have won a Daredevil #1 in a 9.6...with no way of paying for it. I am sure I will bid on a book or two by the end of the month, whether I win or not just depends how close I am with in my budget boundaries compared to how much the other bidder wants it.

Thanks for Reading
