Last-second out-bidders are a main reason I prefer BUY IT NOW listings on eBay...

On a lighter note(speaking of Futari wa Purikyua Splash Star),this little-known site had .avi-formatted versions of episodes 18-23(as far as the fansubs have gone)available,which does take up less hard-drive space(on this notebook as well as my 2 ZEN's)...

Happy 41st birthday to Haruko Akagi Bloodberry Miss Hannah Yukari Tanizaki Palme Akiko Hiramatsu...
