Tower, it sounds like you want us to talk you out of bidding!  I think the card is going for so much for all of the reasons Roz listed. The dual costume is a great card, even with plain swatches. Add part of the patch, and it really is one of a kind. |

Hmm $300 is a lot of cash....
(*in Gameshow host voice*)
But it's TRRRRUELY one of a Kind
and think to yoruself what you'd get in the first set for that much... something cool but not one of a kind!

I don´t know. The crazy thing is that i wouldn´t have placed a bid of $200 in November. And now? My problem is: I hate to do such crazy things. And $300 is crazy, isn´t it?
I put a bid in on this auction earlier on (okie117 for $110.00). I have since just been watching the price go higher and higher. Needless to say, I've decided not to bid on it any more. To me it would have been worth $110.00, but not the price it's at now. But then I paid over $200.00 for my Fizzing Whizbees variant bacause I really really liked it! If you really want the card, get it! |

Yes, please do. Oh no! I'm not talking anyone out of buying anything!  Less than an hour to go -- let's see some more bids! I'm sure greenpaw could use the money for diapers. |

It was time for a decision. And my decision was: No ! Too much money. There are other cards i want more. Better completing a Master Set than improving a non complete set. And now i want to hear: "Yes, you are right, Tower". |

You'll get another chance someday.

-That's alot of diapers/nappies! The funds will more likely goto fund more card purchases-but of course my kids come first-who needs nappies anyway! Thanks for all who put input into this thread-i'm just sorry i wasn't around when it was happenning but i was at the aquarium with my son looking at sharks. Hopefully the card will be going to a loving home. Cheers

Hi Roz
No i have done nothing clever like reading shakespere (or J.K. Rowling) to either of my children.
I am reading Inkheart by Funke at the moment which i am slowly getting addicted to but i'm almost afraid of reading it aloud as funny things might happen.
My son is 4 and a half and my daughter just turned one.
I can't wait until they discover JKs books!
My son knows all about Harry Potter (from snippets of the movie and the soundtracks i pop into the car endlessly) and the cards ("noooo toouchie!" as a yak would say) but he's not seen any of the movies all the way through as they are a little scary.
Probably Winnie the Pooh is safe right now but give me a year or so and the indoctrination will begin.
Ahh it all awaits. Imagine not having read HP or Lord of the Rings or seeing Star Wars and experiencing it again for the first time!

Hee hee you can re-live the experiences all over again through his eyes when you do! You should have the Potter audio books playing for them both to listen to. True they won't understand much but Stephen Fry's voice is quite soothing and he has a lovely accent and he is SO funny reading the different parts in different voices ... him reading Dobby, Hagrid and Tonks are my faves!  So, they get to hear the stories without you having to do any of the work ~ can't be bad! LOL  |

Nienna I love Stephen Fry.
I love his voice and i know there is another version of the audio books from the US but i just cannot bring myself to listen to them.
Fry and Laurie were always favourites and when Stephen turns up in films (like Cold Comfort Farm-an absolute classic) it just makes my day.
I am so pleased that JK had the forsight to enlist him for reading the books.
Actually my son and i sometimes share headphones (he has one in one ear and i have one in my ear) when i am listening to them.
Its when he jumps up and gets distracted by something (like a truck) and takes my head with him that problems insue but hey love hurts.
Cheers
Inger

Hee hee hee ... kids! Don't you just love it when they have the attention span of a flea! I loved watching Fry and Laurie when they did the P G Wodehouse series "Jeeves and Wooster" ~ they suited the parts soooo well! LOL I'm sure Fry could probably retire on the money he receives in royalties for doing these books, but who cares - he does them brilliantly! The other actor you're thinking of who reads the HP books is Jim Dale ~ another Brit! His biggest claim to fame prior to this was him acting in the 'Carry On' films in the 1960's and 70's. I'm sure he's done other films since then, but that's what I always think of when I hear his name. I don't know if you've ever seen any of these films or not, but they are what we'd say (here in the UK) as having *seaside-humour* ... meaning plenty of double entendre jokes and smut! LOLOL Not what you'd want your youngsters watching for sure! Bring back the Teletubbies!!! Tinky Winky for PM!  Hee hee! |
