lol. Nice grab, Michael. I once outbid Ariel on a dha. I don't think things have been the same between us since then.
The trick (assuming you can continue to pay the bills) is to avoid displaying things immediately after you get them. That way, when they are brought out, you can honestly say "...that old thing? I picked that up a long time ago."
I was recently caught displaying a newly aquired spear in my office. Fortunately, it was around my birthday...
