For the very first time in my life I went to an auction hall. Someone I know had told me that this auction hall had at a specific day about 150 keychains to auction out. So right after work I went to there. I sat and waited and waited until almost the end of the auction. When the bidding started I convinced myself that I am not leaving this hall without those 150 keychains. They auctioned out all at the same time but to my surprise apparently I was not the only one who wanted them. But I won. What I great feeling since this was my debut in the auction world. Before this I had 3562 keychains in my collection but I am currently going through them to see if there are any of them that I might have from earlier on.
Congrats. Nothing like getting a big haul at a good price. Never done a real auction myself, just Ebay. Did you set a spending limit? I always decide ahead of time how much money I'm willing to spend on something. Once I went way over my limit bidding almost a $1000 dollars for an animation cel. I lost and couldn't be happier!
