THIS IS WHY I AM POOR

[innerchorus]

Today is the release date of so many Giant Killing doujinshi that I might just keel over and expire from the mixture of joy and knowing that I certainly can't afford everything I want to buy (bad month for spending thanks to several unexpected expenses). This is probably my biggest weakness for spending money when I really shouldn't, and I just

Yeah, that makes sense. I am up for seeing Beelzebub with basically ANYONE. XD

I'll have to look into it and find out which is the better option, but I'm kind of putting it off because if I know which is the best way to do it then there's not much chance of me NOT doing it. Is the person on LJ who doesn't charge commission a friend of yours or are they open to accepting orders from others? For me, doing an individual order through someone who can have it shipped straight from Japan to me works out cheapest, because I haven't seen anyone in the UK doing group orders so I'll always have the extra international postage for it to get to me on the last leg.

I am reasonably sensible with money but yeah, I can see that happening with auctions because it's RIGHT THERE and WHAT IF THIS IS THE BEST CHANCE I'LL EVER GET TO OWN IT. So you're wise to stay away for as long as you can manage. I hope your willpower holds out!

Oh, I had a thought as well, for that circle you mentioned who only do events, do they have a website where you can order from them directly?

Lol, she takes orders for anyone, as long as you're willing to pay for the bank fees/shipping to her in Japan. Her exchange rate is better than paypal's too. Back in November it was around 79 Y to 1 USD, right now it's 77. (But still better than Paypal's 75) She's can be slow to respond and send invoices, but she's quick to order and pretty chill about when she receives payment. Don't worry if she drops off the grid, she'll come back.

Thanks me tooooooo

Lol, they did for a brief time May of 2011. x.x

Oh awesome, that's all good to know, thanks for pointing me in her direction. I'll have a think about asking her next time I order. :)

Their books must be so hard to get hold of. D: I hope you get lucky with their next release, then.

I think I'm helping...am I hurting instead? >_>

Found your Yondemasu Yo "most wanted" here at Suruga. 800 Yen + whatever domestic and international shipping is.

Oooh. OOOH.

(It might hurt my savings, but it's HELPING!)

I am going to sit on my hands tonight but tomorrow I need to actually make some decisions about what I'm going to order (why is there so much that I want at the moment?) and curse the fact that I can't afford it all. I also saw a post from someone last night who is in Japan and willing to go and look for second hand-doujinshi in stores and aaah.

Haha!

BE STRONG!
