I have had a CD on my Amazon wishlist for almost three years now. It's a CD by the band that played Verucca's band on Buffy in Season 4, called THC. It's out of print, and I see it come and go, always at a high price. There are three used listed on Amazon right now ranging from $69.50 to $99.99. I've seen it on eBay three or four times, each time going for in the $50-$60 range.

I have it as a favorite search on eBay, so it emailed me last week telling me the CD is up for sale again. I usually wait until the end of the auction to bid, but this time, I changed my strategy. I bid $40 at the beginning of the auction, thinking I would be outbid at the end of the auction, but I had an email this morning saying I had won it...for $26!

Three years is a long time to be patient, but it was completely worth it. Assuming the seller comes through with the merchandise, which is not always an assumption you can make. I have an automatic purchase agreement for this CD on Amazon, and I actually bought it once, and the seller didn't come through and I had to get my money back. So cross your fingers everyone!
