      I had a budget until after the new year and so many people started selling great stuff for really cheap.

        What is this budget you speak of?

        Seriously though, I'm the same as you. After I've made a couple of purchases in a row, I tend to get a little antsy and put the safety on the paypal gun. I'll probably get a table at the next toy show and sell some other stuff to fund more MEGO goodness.

          I certainly went over my budget in the last few weeks, but I kept running into deals I couldn't pass up. I think I need to take a break for a bit now....we'll see how well that goes.

            I am currently trying to resist any temptation until the end of March.

                We've been following a very strict budget lately where we plan the whole year in advance and make decisions based on real numbers and not the vague fantasy that usually passes for reality in my brain. Hence, my Mego/toy collecting budget is laughably small.

                          You know what they say when you assume something. I'll leave it at that.

                            Here is where I think my problem comes into play, most of you have been collecting for years and there are not that many pieces I would assume you "must have" sure you will upgrade you collection when the opportunity arises but from what I have seen most of your mego collections are somewhat complete.

                            I on the other hand just got back in the game a little over a year ago and there is just so much I would like to get! Usually I will exercise restraint and maybe pick up one or two choice pieces a month but with the economy being so bad and as a few of you have pointed out there have been some real good deals out there lately.....

                            So there goes Mr.Restraint he just packed his things and left, oh well, he will be missed!

                              Budget, Bigfoot, Yeti, Loch Ness Monster. 4 things I've heard of but never seen.
