Same thing happened to me on a great deal for a Winchester Carbine. Told the wife I was getting it, looked back and it was gone. Just think of it as, it wasn't meant to be. Ryan

It's how I get most of mine off of auction sites.. just luck into them before anybody else. I think there's only one that I've bought via regular bid as opposed to buy now.
Better luck next time, Dave!

Moral of this story is "Don't talk to the wife" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Just to clarify, I Wasn't Asking the wife, I was Telling the wife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> That's how it works around here (most of the time). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I make the money so I get to spend a little on myself <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> DDD

I make the money so I get to spend a little on myself DDD, I feel you 'wear the pants' in your household....when wifey says you can.
When it comes to choosing friends....I'm at an age where I'd rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

Jed, Laffin here. "I can do what ever I want, as long as she don't see me." Nah, I make it, I spend it how I want. Dropped a bundle on toys the last few years and she just thinks "big boys, big toys". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> You should see my 50 cal, BMG that is. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> DDD

I told the little lady I paid $35.00 for each one of these, but don't sell them for under $2000.00 each after I'm dead.
