I do it all the time with brass & bullets. It is part of my retirement plan I call my 401(G). Last item I purchased was 270 count Hornady .227 bullets for reloading .22 Savage Hi-Power. I have more rifle brass and bullets than I will ever use but once I am retired and have more time, I will only need money for gas & range fees. It's a good feeling knowing it is on the shelf whenever I want to get started. No buyers remorse here!
I shoot a weekly bowling pin match now and want to get involved in more activities like steel challenge. I recently did a quick inventory of bullets, brass, primers, & powder and concluded that I have enough 9mm supplies to shoot 50 rounds per week for the next 30 years.

It’s happened. Often remind myself that have more chit than time as it is already, though. The thrill of the buy, i suppose; try to stay away from that. Plus the thrill of trying to keep a clear walkway thru my shop isn’t worth it!

One of life's lessons usually learned the hard way is that a guy can go broke getting bargains. Years ago I quit buying stuff just because it was a helluva deal. I have, however, bought a few things just to keep someone else from getting it.

Curiosity gets me. I like to try different stuff and evaluate it. Not so bad when it's something I've been considering for a while and I find something I've been thinking about in the classifieds....it's the off the cuff, unplanned purchases that I need to avoid!

...a guy can go broke getting bargains. I would love to have the money my wife has saved me at the mall...  I dare not let her know what I've saved here on the Classifieds...  DF

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!
RS Most of the above - firearms, scopes, knives, brass, etc. Have never really needed any of it, but always had a use for it, and some just because I wanted it...

It's much, MUCH cheaper than professional therapy, and probably works far better for many.

I have made over 2 million dollars buying stuff from classifieds. Its the worlds cheapest garage sale.

Pre safety marlins go fast , i almost got on the road at 4am for an 11 hour road trip to columbia SC earlier this week. Talking to the seller on the phone
It was hard making the decision while talking to the guy, had the money.... what stopped me was I had bought a glock 24 the day before.... don't know who got it , but they got a heck of a deal on that rifle. So I'm buying a turkey gun tomorrow insted.

I've never even looked at the classifieds, and I've been a member here for 11 years? Read too many horror stories about deals gone bad, I suppose?

I don't read classified unless I'm looking for something specific. The above posts should tell you something!
