Ever see the gun you want on EE but don't have the funds, and then NOONE BUYS IT SO TEMPTATION JUST SITS THERE STARING YOU IN THE CHOPS!

 

[ben777lemay]

That's sad...

And the WTB are not what it used to be, even if I understand why they decided to separate the WTB from the WTS.

Hahaha story of my life

 

[Hoakster]

Yep.
Every time I take a breath and ask myself; "Do I really need that?"

 

[Suther]

Gotta ask. Why the 32-20? Just cause?

 

[b72471]

YEP THAT HAPPENS, but you carry on searching in most cases another will show up and may be in better condition for less money. Ohhh yea, if you had bought the one you "missed" you'd just be looking for something else anyway. Sooo for the time being you've save yourself a few bucks.
enjoy

Amazing how that happens huh?

 

[Joe549]

I wonder if there is a way that you can set up an alert system that notifies you when an EE ad is posted that has key words listed in it? Kijiji has it and it works pretty good....

Or how about when an item is seemingly plentiful on the used market until you decide you want one?

Oh wait, maybe dizz tread will help?

Thanks to having to work for a living.....I have missed a few rifles in the EE that I would love to get my hands on.
Someday maybe time will permit watching the EE much closer. Until then I will keep trying.

 

[carverk]

I would love to get my hands on T/C contender G2 but I'm not holding my breath haven't Evan seen a contender on EE

 

[rascal1]

Too slow. Happens to me all the time.

 

[SuperCub]

I've had this happen to me at least three times in the past .........

Starts out ..... I'm looking for a particular used (out of production) firearm on the EE. Patiently waiting, scanning the EE as much as possible. Searching, searching, and then something popps up that's pretty close to what I want, so I compromise, give in and buy it.

And then ..... BAMMO!! Within a couple days after buying the compromise, exactly what I'm looking for shows up.

Happened a few times. The worst is when someone actually posts the gun you've been waiting for because you can't it find anywhere but they're asking equal or above retail for it. I wouldn't mind too much if it was brand new in box. But when they've fired a few hundred rounds through it or customized it to their version of good looking, its ridiculous to ask retail price.
