Drunk bidding on gunbroker

exactly what the title says.
Or anywhere else...ie "I'll take it" post on (coar15,sturmgewehr, glock talk, walther....)
ANyone else been a victim?
I find myself "bumping" my max bid on something that I've been effin bidding on and have been under the "reserve" price, not even sure why. I've told myself "...man I'm ONLY going to go $XXXX on this and THAT'S IT..." but I get on the lappy start perusing and then POOF "...RESERVE MET..." F!
then I wake up in the morning check my "all buying" tab and I say to myself "WTF WAS I THINKING" yeah the caps are necessary =)

Anyone else?

It's always easy to spend money when you drinking.

Oh yeah. The wife gets scared when "I am just looking" on ebay, gunbroker, or here. She has heard more than once "I accidentally bought something. She is a good woman though. She only yells at me and threatens to divorce me for a little while.

Or how about drunk (or very high) posting, like this guy seems to have done:

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=285624718

Yup... it sure did come from a "super secret rifle group!" [ROFL3][ROFL1]

You're still better off overbidding on guns than stripteases.

No man, no drunk weapon purchases but I have ended-up asking myself; "did I really need that third case of 5.56, .45 ACP or .9mm I purchased last night?" Fortunately I've always been able to rationalize and answer that question with a "yes" relative to ammo! ;)

There is no such thing as too much ammo.

I'm bad at that too. I'm convinced that midway just sends me stuff and charges my card. I know that there is no way that I go on there and order all that crap. But somehow they always know what I want...
