    This one hurt a bit…

    My max that I allowed myself going in was $750.

    Don't look at it as, "I just missed it" - Maroosin was going to keep raising it ten bucks 'til the cows come home.

    This thread has a deja vu vibe. 😕

    The only reason I won the auction on my Model 10-7 2 inch was because I was the only one who bid. And of course it was a "That Last Glass Of Whiskey Bid"...

    Every time I make a bid on GB someone comes along and takes me out. I usually only make one bid but that's never enough. I lost out on a nice Browning laver 92 awhile back by $20.

    Had to have wasn't in my game plan.

    You must have the same game plan I do.

    Yeah, I expect that the other guy would have gone as far as it took. I am NOT looking for another K or J frame. That’s why I went into it with a 750 promise to myself, on impulse.

    That said, in 2030, when semi-autos are prohibitive under the progress of the second Harris admin, I have a feeling like even 1K+ for one of the best EDC revolvers ever made will look pretty good in hindsight.

    The main takeaway is to not make stupid promises to myself in the interest of “self-control” before bidding. If I’d have been drinking, I’d probably have a damn fine looking 1200 dollar .38 in route.

    I take a Benadryl to fall asleep at night, and have purchased more than a few firearms under the influence. 😳🤣
