How do you bid in the final minutes? Look at Gixen it’s a sniper. It doesn’t always work, but it has dramatically increased my success without having to go to nuclear war in one bid and over paying.
the one that got away - how do you handle grief?
I just lost a bid for my dream speakers that I had been chasing for a decade. It was pretty stupid because I missed the last hour and maybe I would have won it with another $100. But maybe it's a sign, it's just a piece of hardware, that I should not be obsessed with. - "you can't always get what you want"
Did you always get the gear you thought would make you whole?

My dream speakers were the B&W 801 Matrix from 1991. At that time they were listed for about 15k I believe. I was 24 so they were really out of my budget to say the least. Then years later when I stated getting into / obsessed with gear again I came across them and had to get them. . I was inches away of pulling the plug and btw they were only a few miles from my home to make things even better. Then as looked them over and discussed and with some photos of the speakers with one of my friends I met on here who owned a few pairs of them over the years he told me that they had been modified and definitely not original. I was heartbroken. A few months later another pair came up for sale from Texas btw I’m in NJ. He had them since he bought them brand new. Still mint condition. We talked for a few days about them and shipping. He was incredibly knowledgeable with all of that also. Long story short I bought them and still have them today and are my main speakers. Still loving them !!! Things definitely happen for a reason so u just might wind up with a better pair one day !!! |
@tattooedtrackman yes, certainly, patience (not my strength, self-restraint) is important. Especially with a gear older than my first car.... could be risky anyway |
