I may have threw a bid at a 308 I thought I might want but had no real intention of buying a few days ago.
Just found out I have a 308 coming.
Anyone else recklessly spending their discretionary income?

A Rem 700 LTR in 223 that the price was too low.
I jokingly bid.
I own it.
OTOH, a few bid on that I got outbid, a big relief, maybe alcohol related.
Ran into an old friend at a Dove shoot & he was sporting a new 20 ga. SXS. He said drinking & surfing the web caused it. But he liked it.

I was working on a Marlin .375 and there were 2 of them on the sight. I put a bid on one and a nibble on the other. They are both in my gun safe right now. I thought there was no way the 2nd would sell for the nibble. No one else bid. Have a great day. Jim

More than once. Throw a ridiculously low bid at something … wind up with it.
Hasn’t happened at all in the last two years!

What are the details of the .308? I may be interested if you decide you don't want it.

Several years ago, I was looking for a Remington 581
I looked on gunbroker, found one missing the magazine and bid on it for $50.00
3 days later I found one locally with 3 extra magazines....for $150.00
Then I got the notice from gun broker that I won...lol
I love them both

Clicked on the wrong listing and bought a left handed long action Remington 700 BDL stock. Guy had both a short and a long action stock. I wanted the short but clicked on the wrong buy it now listing. The pictures were taken from all the same angles. My error but the guy wouldn’t let me exchange. So I have a long action left handed Remington 700 stock I’ll never use.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

I love them both You dollar-cost average them to $100ea + 1 spare mag and you’re stylin’. They’re going for close to $300 around here now.

Never bought unintentionally but have indeed prayed aloud to be outbid.

Never bought unintentionally but have indeed prayed aloud to be outbid. Hahha, I've been in a similar situation. Once I was bidding on 2 like guns from the same seller, both auctions ending at the same time. I had an idea what I though they would go for (~$3.5k) and figured bidding on both would double my chances of winning one, right? Suddenly, at close to auction's end, it occurred to me that I may have set my max bid too high, and was likely to win both. Luckily a last minute flurry of bidding activity saved me on one, but, at least I did win the other.

I bought a 1931 Browning A5 in 16 gauge. solid rib gun. My FIL new I was looking for a Sweet Sixteen. Wife says Dad called and there is a 16ga. Browning A5 going reasonable on GB. I was busy and didn't even look at it , just bid on it and forgot about it. Long story short , it was not a Sweet Sixteen LOL but it was a 2 9/16" gun with a suicide safety. Put a new 2 3/4 barrel extension on it, opened the ejection port, but it would still jam about every other shot. Wasn't particularly enamored with it so it went down the road. Broke about even on it and learned to double check behind FIL on gun purchases LOL.

My 2 boys have claimed both 581s...technically I am fresh out
But yes...they are pricey.
For a cheap rifle, they generally shoot very well.
