Dear Diary
August  3  
  Another preliminary purchase. I purchased a relatively rare Batman Animated Series figure through an ebay auction. A loose (i.e., out of an opened box/packaging) Penguin without accessories for $7 is ideal for Ben (and me). In unopened mint condition, this figure can sell for as much as $100 (maybe even a bit more).

Let me digress for a moment and provide a few details about one of my hobbies, and Ben. I collect Batman items. I have nearly every Batman Animated Series toy figure and I keep them in mint condition by not opening their packaging (i.e., the box/card). Most of my Batman items are stored in lockers and boxes. Ben, who likes to play with toys stumbled upon my collection one day (some are on shelves); if it was his choice, he would open every single one of my Batman items and play with them like there was no tomorrow. Daddy is not keen about this; so, daddy tries to find used Batman figures at yard sales and benefit auctions...that is until I discovered ebay. 

I'm hooked on ebay. I love it. The transaction went smoothly and I got more ebay praise.
