Joke from daughter: A man will spend 2000 Yen for a thing that usually sells for 1000 Yen if he really needs it. A woman will spend 1000 Yen for a thing she doesn't need because it is half price.
I checked that New Years "Oshogatsu" Barbie out on eBay today. It is a limited edition of 1500 dolls - definitely a worthy addition to my collection, but after I had seen it at Toys R Us for 9000 Yen I decided not to get it because it was too pricey. It was selling on eBay for 17,000 yen and if I were to get it with "Buy it Now" and then add postal charges it would have cost me 20,000 Yen, so I went back to TRU and scooped up the last one they had on the shelf. Makes perfect sense, right?

Congratulations on getting such a bargain. Life is short, enjoy your doll. You deserve it and I'm glad you were able to get it.
Now I am even more sure I did the right thing!!
God bless,
