I'm either gonna have the best afternoon of my life or I'm gonna commit ritualistic aliven't

So like two weeks ago, I was browsing Ebay for unrelated items (retired Schleich horses I owned as a little parchant) when I got a recommendation for a collectible I've been eyeing for a few years now but I've never seen one of these go for less than £600 EVER.

Only 5000 of these were ever made and only a very small fraction of them was ever for sale too (just describing this item like this will probably ring a bell for many people) so imagine my surprise when I found one on Ebay for a quarter of the price.

My fingers itch, of course, because there's no way this is real, right? No way. No fucking way would this item ever be this cheap. Like I said, I've never seen it go for less than £600 in the four+ years I've been eyeing it. So totally a scam. Definitely a scam

But I'm insufferable of course so I keep an eye on it. It's still there a few days later (lowkey another red flag because these always go FAST and this one is still hanging around despite the very low price. Lowkey I'm thinking now that any potential buyer was being as cautious as me) and I tell myself that if it's there in time for my next paycheck, I'll get it

A wekk passes, I get payed, the item is still listed. Hmmm. Sussy. I want it so so bad but it's. Sussy

So I message the guy like "hey hi hello I really want your thingy my man but this smells like a scam lmao no offence can I have a proof this is legit or something k no offence again" and he did send it and it did seem legit so I went "screw it. Yolo" and bought the fucking thing

It's been en route since the 25th and today I got an email that's like lmao guess what
