<p>[QUOTE="silentnviolent, post: 1471824, member: 8797"]I know how you feel there. The last one I went to I wanted a wheeler. It was crappy but I waited from 8AM until 4PM and was willing to overpay just to be able to take my son for a ride the next day. The wheeler really was a POS but I went to $650 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />encil: and was outbid by a guy I was talking to prior (in his late 70's) who said he had 3 already he didn't use but had room in the shed. I ended up buying some belt buckles with polished agates in them for $10, and leaving satisfied with the knowledge that I knew I was willing to overpay for my intended purchase only due to special circumstances, so that guy <i>really</i> overpaid. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The belt buckles are still in my truck; they went through the crack and are behind the seat.

[QUOTE="silentnviolent, post: 1471824, member: 8797"]I know how you feel there. The last one I went to I wanted a wheeler. It was crappy but I waited from 8AM until 4PM and was willing to overpay just to be able to take my son for a ride the next day. The wheeler really was a POS but I went to $650 :pencil: and was outbid by a guy I was talking to prior (in his late 70's) who said he had 3 already he didn't use but had room in the shed. I ended up buying some belt buckles with polished agates in them for $10, and leaving satisfied with the knowledge that I knew I was willing to overpay for my intended purchase only due to special circumstances, so that guy [I]really[/I] overpaid. :) The belt buckles are still in my truck; they went through the crack and are behind the seat. I saw them there the other day and, well, there they are :) Also at that auction and my 2nd intended purchase was advertized as "100 foreign coins" was actually broke into 2 lots with "+/- 50" in two [I]pill bottles![/I] I was amazed when the opening bid was $20, which they each sold for to the same guy. $40!!! I inspected them before hand and told my brother they were worth $5 all together prior to start of the auction. Auctioneer: "Who'sgonnastartthebiddingwith[B]fifty[/B]dollarrrrrrrs?" me: :cool: "Yeah, right!" Guy in Overalls with Suspenders and Flannel Shirt: "Twenty bucks!" me: :eek: "What?" :too-funny: "Good job, dude!" :rolleyes: :devil:[/QUOTE]
