can someone please do me a favor and

crash my ebay account?
after i had a shitty xmas, got next to zero presents, and looked back on my shitty year i decided i owed myself some fun.
i lost a storeroom this year, and made someone a ton of money.
i had huge boxes of fisher price little people that i had collected over the course of 4 kids. including a big bunch from my nieces, who are a decade plus older than my kids.

so, i bought a few little people. and a few more. and i got hooooooked.
i have a pretty huge collection now. my living room has turned into the little people city.
but i fear i cant stop.

so, could someone crash my account. i'll give you my password. just save me.

if you have a complete set of most any of the "favorite" older ones, houses and castles, they are getting $100-150 on ebay. i spent $60 for a childrens hospital.
i looked around on craigs list, and they seem to be going for ebay prices.
some of the really rare ones got for $10 for a single figure.
big lots of odd mixes going in the $50-100 range.
one auction up now has a biiiiiig lot, couple houses, castle, airport, farm and a boodle of stuff for $500.

it has added up way to quickly.
