@Jahnna Thanks! I didn't notice that Franny was inactive :(. Still though, a million thanks to her (even though she may not see it) and everyone else here for all of this information!
@Me1620 Thanks to you as well! I'm trying not to dwell on all the points I've "thrown away" over the last 4-5 months or so. It's difficult though because I just learned of the thread you linked to (and the spreadsheets) a couple of weeks ago (thanks again to @TreyNutz!). I feel pretty dumb for not perusing and using this forum more. To learn that, all this time, I could have been planning my purchases ahead and making sure that I got the best deals (in the right order) was pretty shocking to say the least. All I was doing prior was getting online every 4-6 hours while I was awake and obsessively checking the current and upcoming deals, then taking what seemed to be the best deal(s) as they arose.
My biggest consolation was that, after looking at the spreadsheets, I did somehow manage to get the best deals on most of the sets/venues that I own. Like I said in another thread recently, I guess I'm a "Savvy Buyer." The biggest exception (besides some of ways to get the many of the compilations super-cheap) was recently learning that Sunlit Tides is coming up for a DD sale on February 8th. I'd bought it through MMAO just a week or so prior because I didn't think that any worlds ever went on DD. 23% off seemed like a good deal...just not compared to 54%, lol. Considering that I have no plans to play that world for quite a while (it was an impulse buy that day), well :(
Honestly though, the saddest part is that my obsession with the deals and wanting to have everything (not to mention mod and CC hunting) has started to take precedence over actually playing the game! It's like part of my brain forgot that I was buying things that could actually be used for something. Now that's an addiction! :smiley:
Thanks again!
