Crap crap.
I have too much of a soft spot for antiques and finely crafted collectibles.

I have too much freedom now that I'm 18, despite the fact that I don't have my license yet.

I have 2.3k for my laptop. My laptop for school is $1950.
I'm too impulsive.


Last night I went crazy and purchased:
Asia Antique Dragon Phoenix Yak Bone Tibet Knife
41.3" Hand Forged Japanese Katana Sword Leaf Tsuba
BATTLE READY HAND FORGED *MUSASHI* SAMURAI KATANA SWORD
Wacom Graphire4 Graphire 4 USB tablet 4x5 A6 in box
Vintage Japanese Samurai Sword Dragon Sharp Blade RARE
Qty: 2 - 18" Heavy Duty Machete W Steel Blade NEW KNIFE
Elemental Light Dancer 8.5 x11 Anime Art Artwork Print

I'm going to probably win:
Rare 19thC Indonesian Parang Nabur Sword Pamour Blade
antique Old brass dragon steel Dagger knife
Spanish Sword


Some jerk outbid me on:
ANTIQUE TRIBAL SWORD Knife Machete Weapon GERMAN BLADE
ANTIQUE PERSIAN SWORD Old Blade Knife Weapon Knives NR
FINE 18thC FRENCH SILVER COURT SWORD 1769
Antique French Bayonet-Sword 1868
COLLECTIBLE VINTAGE SWORD-MOTHER OF PEARL ON HANDLE

The last three are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I feel so bad. I don't want to spend $100 on each because it's going to make my predicament worse...

That's the mother of pearl sword.

I want a Naginata! An antique naginata.
I was only going to purchase the print so that I could gain a favorable rating on Ebay. I was going to purchase the tablet because used tablets go from $200+. The tablet was $90, with free shipping. I wanted Wacom Intuos 3, but what can you do. This is decent. It has 512 levels of pressure so that's alright. I'm not one of those detailed painters.

I have this stuff all shipped to my house and my mom will kill me.
She will take my ceremonial hand forged carbon steel samurai katana and cut me. Then she shall wipe the blood from the blade, and return it with a polite letter on why we can't keep these.

I am an antique addict. I"m going to college in 3 weeks and I can't bring these with me.
I have half a mind to purchase some tintypes and daguerreotypes. Don't know of what yet tho.

Buy a commission from me to offset the massive debt I have now. xD
Well, if you want. I don't care anymore. I'm just excited to get these. Don't know what I'm going to do with these other than cutting weeds. But they're still awesome. Weapons are sexy. ;D

Lol I paid most of these. As of last night I owed $220. I'll owe another $80 if I win these auctions.


By the way! In college, I"m thinking of doing Kendo, iaido, or a martial art. So some use might come of this weaponry in the future.

Don't worry. I'm not interested in rifles or pistols.

I still want to go look for a human kidney on ebay. I don't have enough money for one tho.
