How many of you have bought an item for sale in the 24HR Campfire classifieds just because it was too good of a deal to pass up? You didn't need it, have a use for it, already had one, or particularly wanted it but you just could not pass it up!

Actually, I go the other way and refrain. Then, later, I kick myself for not jumping on a good deal.

Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively... Having said that, MAGA.

^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^ +1 - Yes, plenty of times. I may not need it (at least, right now), but chances are I know someone who can use it, so I offer it to them.

It's called greed. It's a thing. Guilty as charged.

Usually I read about all the good deals 1 min after the SPF has been put up.

How often to you see an item listed, the OP stating he bought it on the Classifieds and hadn't used it. DF

I've never even been to the classified section. As to un-needed implements, I probably have around 15 arms and maybe 20 fishing rods that I could do without.

Went on a 7mm bullet buying spree this week. Now I have more than I will ever use.

It's called greed. It's a thing. Guilty as charged. Not always. I've bought a couple of things I didn't really need. But I knew the seller needed the money, and was in a tight spot. Been known to send a bit extra as well.

I try to be a seller
Turns out I'm more of a buyer

FB, I can be as greedy as the next guy.
If I see something I want, or need to sell something, I do it. It's just not an obsession.

I rarely go to the classifieds. It's probably a good thing that I am not a regular because I am going broke saving money as it is. When I do go to the classifieds, I rarely see "can't pass it up" kind of deals. I often see used stuff selling for more than I can buy it for used. Case in point. The Meopta ad. I just bought a brand new Cabelas Meopta for $100 less than the exact used model is being sold for in our classifieds.

I have, sometimes because it was a good deal, and sometimes because I find something I really want but it isn't made anymore.
Like this morning when I found and bought a Schrade 158OT "Guthook Skinner" from BB3 in the classifieds. Made in the USA, which would mean it was made at the Schrade plant on Route 209 in Ellenville NY, which I passed numerous times as a kid/young man heading upstate deer hunting/scouting over the years. Always wanted one, and suddenly the plant closed and whatever Schrade was making was not what it used to be. I know I'm old school, made in the USA really means something to me.

don't know that I would call it greed,but I have bought several things from the classifieds, I think of it as a win/win.
