OOPS buying moment ? Fed 3 Zenit S

[dee]

I did OK on my final [ ? ] e-bay toy sales , but want a bit crazee buying 3 cameras from mvd0807 in Russia ...

A really good Zenit S / I 50 { £25 ] , to accompany my many Zorki S's

An as new Fed 3 [ £12 ] , 'cos I was old that it's really good .
... and a fair but paint lossed Zenit 1 , which has the earlier I 22 lense , and was just £13 .
All plus shipping and 6% for pay-pal ...
Can't wait !

This is odd - I hate the pressure of Autisic stuff and the compulsions which go with it + the obsessions / collecting ...

But I looked in the cupboard at the few Prakticas left , realised that the Dinky cars and Sindy dolls had gone to a better place ... and realised that although the guilt and dee's comfort remain at being out of total control -

This is the first time that buying 20 + items [ unspecified ] have really grounded me , and taken away some of the constant dee's ruption ...

and thia place helps too .

Everyone succumbs to GAS from time to time. But sometimes it will get out of control, as mine has within the past few months. So I hope to go on a buying hiatus and start USING the stuff I've been BUYING. Else, why buy this stuff? eh? Maybe we need a chapter of GAS Anonymous on this forum.

Nah!

I agree with January man. You don't have to buy every camera on your path. Or start a new topic about buying them every few days. I don't post a new topic every time I aquire a new camera. It's not forbidden of course, but it can be anoying.

You are way short of cameras... a beginner

Dev kit is really cheap, cuts the running costs,...

Well, I didn't mean to tell Dee to stop telling me, rather than annoying, it gets me wondering why I haven't got X or Y yet... so I like hearing it, I just can't afford it. ;-)

 

[dee]

sorry - Asdee can be very annoying , and don't know when to stop .

Hi Dee,

I for one enjoy reading your posts - I like the fun and enthusiasm that you express in them. And if you think the compulsion to buy stuff is down to Autism, then I think there must be a touch if it in most of us round here 😀

 

[januaryman]

Noel- good suggestion. When I start to troll ebay or here for gear, will you, as my sponsor, allow me to call you and have you talk me out of it?

My Name is Jim and I haven't bought a camera all day: as of 8:00 am.

I guess that Asdee is - overexcited or just sort of switch off - i can't control it , but i am a bit scared of the compulsions though -
it's never been as bad as this time , though I have had several wrecked Lambrettas outside the house 'til they had to go ... and selling dozens of Dinky toys and Sindy dolls has fuelled this latest dee-mentia ...

BUT... this IS dee-ferent , I try to giggle at the crazzee stuuff - if not go under ...

'' i '' am connecting with Leica derived cameras , which , just doesn't happen .
'' i '' have to have several around / with me , just to have something safe to cling to .

And , to be honest , there is little or no ''sense '' of ''I'' , or that'' this hand is of me '' - it's all dreamstate ...

Maybe it's not even about taking pics ... but i do know that I have began to look photographically once again - so i can look , and cut out the noise / chaos - filter more than I can usualy - it's often easier just to look down , not see , because my head cannot bring it all together ... but through my sqinty ''Leicas '' or Kievs ... it's better ...
I have dozens of undevelpoed films from way back - one day ... i never had the money to actually get them printed , and it mean't asking for money , as it is today ...
But , it was the ability to se through a separating medium , which became more and more impossible with plastic / auto / cameras with no visible '' known '' controls ... so i stopped until awakened by the Zorki article in Aug 2006
Ok , It's been out of control , too much invisible money coming in to pay pal , and just too much excitement of a media which isn't directly demanding face to face discussion - which is also new to me .
I am still dazed by it all .
Also , I have never attempted to try to ''talk '' to real peolple in places like this - so i will get it wrong , again and again .
I certainly had no wish to p..s anyone off buy all this silliness - i did say at the beginning that i may be here for the wrong reasons ...
it just never occours to me to that some have more stuff than me , or less -
i have ever ben sort of separated from all that stuff ... and certainly not street savy at all .
.. so , on to the next dee-mentia !!! - anyone wanna come along for the ride ?
and , if you are wondering - it's even madder fron the inside...

My name isn't really dee , except to those who accept my otherwise - formerly other stupid , and I am gonna try not to buy a camera until I have more money in pay pal .
Except that I have made an offer on a really lurid blue[ off topic ] Zenit S [ shhsss , don't tell anyone ] from asterliks , cos when I show you all , it will make you realy wonder about my sanity !!!

 

[Screwy]

Don't worry about it Dee , Just enjoy the cameras whether you use them or just look at them 😎 Like Oscroft I enjoy the enthusiasm in your post's because I,m probably just as enthused , just more uptight about posting about it 🙂

Hello Jim

I never open an e-bay link it is like stepping into a pub doorway out of the rain... the first step, to the unthinkable.

A worse syndrome is to sell a camera on e-bay, (or other toy - dee) the sure consequences are another camera, real bad.
