The fact that the first time we're seeing senzu, green vader, and that WASD is when they are on an auction site has really made me sad.
I would have loved to lust after them. I love the idea of sharing and appreciating these pieces of art with other people who find them beautiful, I love trying to find out what mysteries there are.
I don't know why this finally got me so salty about the situation, but **** it, I HATE that we are learning about these ****ing things when they are on sale. I thought that this was a geekhack thing, I know there are IRL reasons for privacy or whatever, but share the beauty! It takes away from my enjoyment of their existence, knowing they've been kept hidden away and only shown to us mortals once the owner decided that he needed to make some funds liquid.
Contrast this to Spumoni. People can be as ****ing jelly as they want, but Noisy shared the pics and we are all free to dream about what we would have done if we had been as sharp as him and found the clue. These pop up out of nowhere with some huge but mostly realistic price tags, so it's not like the person is ignorant of the clack-scene or how much they sell for here on GH. After the 4/20 sale everyone was suspicious about a Mr Friday Vader. It was a ****ing unicorn. But now it pops up with the cute dibs-sack and a $200 starting price. This just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
It makes rarar trying to flip his Mr. Friday after getting a dibs ticket seem a little more acceptable in my mind. I was pissed, like many others, about him wanting to sell ONE rare key that he got through the graces of CF and trying to make a profit on it. This guy has sold thousands of dollars worth of uber-rare clacks undoubtedly straight from the man and now I can't help but get more and more pissed each time one gets listed.
And I'm not sure what I should do about it.
