Message:: [QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2305581, member: 76194"]Well, I did promise I wouldn't buy anymore coins before the end of the year, and I informed JA that I wasn't going to be purchasing any coins in his Christmas auction. I don't know what type of magical spirits JA consults with, but it is powerful magic indeed, because my wallet came to life and PM'd JA and bought these two while I was out doing something else with the family. So technically that's not breaking my promise if my wallet became possessed and acted on its own, right?  Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
