Pressure...

I cut and paste the items I want into the message to show what I want

Note that it's safest to cut and paste the items individually... On a day like today, it's really hard to go through and cut items out before sending.

You start rationalizing to yourself... "The last Bura Nepolean sword sat forever, so nobody else is going to want this one either." "I bought the last two Ang Kholas which I love and they sat forever, so this one is meant for me too." "I didn't buy the neem Bola sword because of account problems so having my account fixed the same day as another sword is available is meant to be and I'm owed one." "That BAS would be perfect for so-and-so for hunting season." "That villager movie special is probably the only one of those I'll ever see and it's the only movie special I've liked." "Everyone keeps posting about how useful the Karda is, so I'd really like to get one." "Well, that movie special does have one of those nice smooth horn handles without the ring." "That village chainpura has a much nicer look to it than the standard models and I don't have anything with karam wood and that Karam is a nice color - not as yellowy as the karam on those kardas a while back." "It's got a neem handle so it's healthy." "I don't even know what that is, but what the hell - I'm sure it's great."

And, it all runs through your head in a second and you know you have to make a decision RIGHT NOW or they'll be *ALL GONE*!!!!!!!!

Full-blown Himalayan Imports Knife Virus. No cure.

Don't forget, you need at least one of each.

Two, really, because you need a villager of the same model.

Sometimes three or four of each- a horn one, satistaal, hill walnut, chandan, grey horn. A karam or neem one would really round off the collection.

Of that ONE model.

Ah, sweet Movie Model by Bura, seen with Rats.

"It's got a neem handle so it's healthy."

One of the best rationalizations that I've heard to date. You're to be commended as an enabler, SASSAS.

Don't forget the bone/antler variations either.

..and keep an eye out for the occasional 'american wood' model. and the aluminum handle ones, and ...

p.s.- the bura villager movie model sorely tempted me, but out of discretionary funds till the 9th.
