Browsing on eBay, Fox saw an absolutely amazing Japan-only export re-release of The Grapes* self-titledfour-song EP. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl and individually numbered, the 7” was in sealed mint condition and had no minimum reserve price set. No question about it — he had to have it.
He abandoned his usual strategy of waiting until the last day and bid right away. He checked back in an hour to discover someone else had outbid him. He raised his bid considerably only to be outbid again.
Luckily his monthly check from the parents had just arrived, so he raised his offer on the record to a princely sum. He checked back on eBay with clockwork regularity as the time left on the auction passed.
In the last second, he was outbid by a record store owner in Spokane (who had a special app that automatically bid at the last possible second – totally unfair!) by mere pennies.
Huffing with rage, he posted a blistering 1500-word blog post about how The Grapes were totally overrated and that release in particular was notably full of flaws.

Oh look it’s me! Other than the massive tantrum blog depreciating the album that I definitely still want. And the blowing my parents money on records part lol.
