I Won I Won I Won!

So, I was watching the Stargate prop auctions on eBay as a spectator sport again and decided to bid after all. I thought the SG-1 communicator earpiece would jump out of my price range like the SGA earpiece did last week, but it didn't. I won it with one bid. It didn't even go for half my maximum bid!

I also wasn't planning to bid on the Genii portable lamp thing until I read the description more closely and found out it worked. That one was more exciting. I upped my maximum bid by $10 at the last minute, and that made the difference between me winning by $5 and me losing by $5.

Since I now have one prop from each show, I think I'm set unless something really super awesome yet still affordable comes up in the next round of auctions.

I just can't believe how little things have been selling for this time around. Previous Stargate prop auctions have never had anything even close to my price range.

It's sad that not many people are buying them up, yet I'm happy you got something!

I'm delirious! I never in a million years thought I'd be able to afford anything. In previous auctions, every single thing went for over $1000. This auction, there are things going for less than $100.

At least the really iconic stuff (Jaffa uniforms, Jack O'Neill's dog tags, the dust jacket to John Sheppard's copy of War and Peace), are still going for a good price.
