Hah, my girlfriend encourages me to bid on old markers on eBay and to keep the ones I try to sell here. She even offers to lend me money to support my habit.
Makes me wonder how many markers away from being cut off I am... Or maybe the difference is the wedding band?
EDIT: She just read the post, she says her reason is because it undercuts my ability to stop her from buying aquarium stuff. Fine by me...
