Awww, I'm sorry. :C *hugs*

i kno dat feel. 2 weeks ago or so, my super grail popped up on Y!J, and I had placed a bid, and all week, I was the top bidder. Then when there were about 10 minutes left, people kept bidding, and it got too high for me at the time ;o; (about 35,000 yen).

I'm sure it'll pop up again at a time when you can nab it :)

Thank you!!

Besides not getting what you want...there is that bitter feel of being defeated. Or is that just me?? xD

Which is your super grail, if you don't mind me asking?? wow, that's kind of a lot...that's the bad thing about automatic extentions, last minutes keep going on forever

thanks again! maybe this one was in really good conditions, mine won't stay minty in a shelf, so i wouldn't really mind getting one a little bit more loved than that one...and i'll may use these funds to get all the pokecen eevees or something, yay!

My grail was the holiday Piplup pokedoll. In all my years of collecting, it was the first time I had ever seen it show up! ;___;

I think I did feel that bitterness of getting defeated, but I rationalized it and told myself that now I have leftover money for Christmas gifts to make myself feel better XD

i guess its not the one that is holding a little gift?? I don't even know if i've ever seen it before...that sounds like it really is a supermegaomgwownokidding holy grail.

Yeah, the small gets from big losses c:

I had that auction saved, and when I looked at the end price this morning... I was so shocked @__@ that is the highest I've ever seen terriermon go for. I've been watching terriermon auctions for about a year now, and they usually end at around ~9000y (though none of them were in prefect condition)
I definitely suggest waiting it out- you will definitely be able to get one, and for a lot less! <3

Yeah, it was some crazy war actually xD, if it wasn't for that one who won, i could have obtained it for 7500 perhaps, when the other person backed off.

This is the first time i actually have some money to go for it, the previous times i have been completely and totally broke. I've watched them as well...just to give me an idea of how much it will hurt my wallet. But this one was in really good condition, i would think it was missing the tag.

waiting is such a pain dkgfgfdg but i'll be patient...once again. Thank you!! Ò u Ó

Ah man. Sorry to hear that! Losing auctions you think you have a surefire shot at is the worst. Definitely know that feeling... :( I'm not as familiar with Digimon merchandise as I'd like to be, but hopefully it'll pop up again and you can get one soon! ;w; <3

Yeah...i try not to do that, but i failed this time. This is a 1/1, just like pokemon ones. In pokemon terms, i think that its a little more rare than the johto starters 1/1's and as coveted as an eevee one (just to make a quick comparison)

I hope that too...thanks!! c:
