Several Women—Yes!
Gear; No.
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?

@parkergetdean Guessing you know this, but there is a set on eBay for $699. |
You should have put $100 increases automatically or just paid asking price if you wanted it that bad . I had lost a bid on a Aesthetics Saturn preamp lost by $25. I would have gladly paid the $100 more I had forgot to increase it before I went out . it saves you all the frustration later, as I get older I don’t have the patience . I just try to buy it presently I have several surgeries coming up , for next year New Wilson Sabrina V or watt puppies next fall my goal . Then no more speakers, being retired finances too tighten . |
Sniping, Back in the day, when I was actively buying 7" pre-recorded reel to reel tapes, I waited down to 8 seconds, bang, got it. Outbid, no biggie, I had decided my max, that's it. I ended up with 500 of them, the shipping was more that the tapes in those days. I've since sold 150, I should sell more. Now, I find Yahoo Japan Auctions, join Aleado (bidding agent). 1st item I wanted, I put in my max, and confirmed 30 seconds prior. Someone else won it for less. WTH. Next, I noticed a small note: allow 3 minutes for Aleado to verify funds in you account, then make the bid for you. You gotta know the rules of the game! |
