How many times have you logged on to the sale/trading forum and found that a sale/trade that you really needed and could have made was already bumped by another member?
Does this happen frequently?
Is it always the same member?
Does this member foil your plans for complete heroclix domination?
Do you sometimes think this member sits behind a computer with a mask on coming up with new ways to foil your plot?
Then maybe you have an arch enemy in the trading forum. That one person who always seems to PM ahead of you who you would assume has not only every figure but duplicates of it.
Who is your archenemy?
This is purely for fun, hence I would not get mad if I am your archenemy...

The entire US is my arch enemy when it comes to trades.
I think I'm my own arch enemy :nervous:

Yeah, we sure get hosed. Especially if we want to ship in our own country. What a joke. I just shipped a package to Ontario. Standard package, contained 3 clix I think? Anyway, it was almost $12.00 to ship it ($11.82) :tired: I can ship a package to the US via Airmail for about half of that, which is still expensive. I tend to try to make larger deals to save on shipping costs. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that 1/3-1/2 of the 'value' of my clix is in shipping costs :ermm:
Oh, but as for other people here who are my 'arch enemy', Tanis11 and NoGoCat. Those guys (whom I've had many great dealings with BTW :laugh:) never seem to sleep, and/or miss a sale/auction here. I swear they are automotons.
Though I was able to 'scoop' both of them in a recent sale ;) Bwwwhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa

Canada Post is second only to those who refuse to sell/trade with Canadians. :tired:
Darn...I'm getting beat by Canadianpost. Woulda thought I woulda been on more lists. ;) Must set my AI to post faster! ;)

Oh, I'm sick of seeing your name by the time I catch a new sale/trade thread, don't worry. :grin:
However, thems the breaks. Refusing to trade north of the border just irks my panties.

I got this complicated program that looks for specific key words that's linked to a database. With a sophisticated algorithm it replies with an offer or bid on an auction automatically. Very simple. :laugh:

I thought you were paying the tech lady off of Criminal Minds to build you something like that.
Genius..
Wonder if Typhon would be interested in selling off an Anti-NoGoCat coupon that would prevent you from buying anything in any single auction.
