How many of you lost out on a deal online?

I think it is more of an issue with my bank account at this point. I don't have everything I want, but I have enough.

I got my eBay sniping technique down to a science. Yes I'm one of "those guys". If I want something bad enough, I make sure to set my phone alarm to go off 10 minutes before an auction ends, setup two windows, already signed into my eBay account on both (just to make double sure), etc.

if you are going to bother doing it, why not just use one of the sniping programs.

Lol, I'm lucky in that regard. I've kept my bank account strictly separate from my wife's, and intend it to remain so. Regardless, she's been 100% supportive of my compulsive hoarding over the past month, and even is looking forward to learning reloading with me. Plus she's hot. Grin... life has been good to me.

And by the time I can check this forum's Buyer Intel section, the deals are long gone.

I usually miss out on ones that I either see here or a friend tells me about. I have had a couple of orders on the different auction sites like gunsamerica and armslist go south. About two days after the Conn shooting I ordered 10 boxes of 20 rounds of federal green tipped 62gr 5.56 ammo for $10 each. Three weeks later I get an email saying he sold it locally and was cancelling my order. All I could do was leave negative feedback since I hadn't paid for it yet.

You're biased. Let others decide. Post pics.

She's a phenomenal cook, doesn't like to fight, doesn't ever disrespect me, is a superhuman mother, is every bit as affectionate as when we first met, doesn't complain about me taking over the entire basement as my man-cave/arsenal, is stone-cold accurate with a Beretta, and is every bit as fanatically pro-2nd Amendment as I am. Am I bragging? Hell yes. Grin. I love my wife!!

P.S. I still think this pertains to the thread at hand, as this is a deal I snapped up as soon as I saw it. [ROFL1]

Ok, I agree. I didn't think you'd really respond [Beer]

Good work Dingo!
