    The ones that got away

    i just got outbid for these Bakelite glasses which i have been watching for about a week.They went for $36....I loved them :( oh well..i really couldn't even afford my bid anyhow, so maybe it was fate. I did end up with a new Doris Day record today though for 2 bucks, so it ain't all bad.
