It never seems to fail, your sitting there minding you own business when a great deal is posted ! Now we all have our short list of wanted air guns, but this one three or four on our list, and your hesitant to go out of order, because you really want the next air gun in line FIRST !
But you just can't believe this deal !!!! And if you don't act NOW, it will be in someone else's gun safe ! So you put your "I'LL TAKE" in,because a deal like this may never come up again !
Now that you have "WON" this baby, and your all excited, and can't wait to receive her ! another GREAT BUY is posted ? What are you to do now ? And this great deal is number two on your short list ! What's a guy to do ???
So you go out on a limb and buy that one also, if you have been fast enough, and lucky enough to win the race for it.
I have had this happen to me almost every time I purchase an air gun ?
And today while looking through the Classified Sections I see a P1 with a scope on it, and only one year old, with only one tin of pellets through her for $250.00 !
What will be next ? A FX Whisper for $325.00 ? Or a Feinwerkbau Match rifle for $500.00 ?
This seems to happen every time a good sale comes my way !
Have any of guys had this happen to you ?????

Bill, when I have the money, I can not pray down a deal. When I have NO money, the deals come at me from every direction.

Yep Bill that is the life of an addicted air gun addict..:) Lets face it buddy, it never fails when you buy something one day something else comes up the next day and you are caught with no working funds to buy it..:) I try my best not to miss any good deals..: But lately the guys on the GTA are quicker than me on the trigger..:) Had the money a couple times but hesitated and lost out..:( :( But there will be another deal come along sooner or later..:) Hope sooner...:)
-
Hey, where did you see that P1? I am not finding that here....
-
Do too many great deals and someone else will come into a batch of great deals when your widow or ex-wife's divorce lawyer sells them all back, for cheap! :D (Hooray! More for the rest of us idgets!)
-
When I die, I am taking them with me...:)

I saw it over on the Yellow Classifieds: http://www.network54.com/Forum/79574/message/1269364973/beeman+p1+santa+rosa+.177+swift+scope++250.00+ship (http://www.network54.com/Forum/79574/message/1269364973/beeman+p1+santa+rosa+.177+swift+scope++250.00+ship)
It was sold 24 minutes latter, before I finished my rant :-)
You really have to rush when you see something their !!!! Imissed out ona few real good deals while I was checking the seller out on the B.O.I. !

Geez, seriously, it's like you can't even go to the bathroom. Two "I'll take it"s, 1 minute apart. I woulda gone for that deal, too.
I think joeblow is still selling the P3 on the GTA classifieds... I decided not to look at that any more. I have one and I really love that gun.

Oooor, the day after you commit to your 'great deal', an evenbetter, sometimes much better,deal for the same rifle shows up within a day or two later. Your state of elation just vanishes.

What's even worse, lately I've hit a couple of really lucky deals, only to feel like the fish in the cartoon who took the bait and has a bigger fish hanging onto him, with an even bigger fish hanging on to the other. I had one with three subsequent "I'll take it's", the last about a day after the guy posted it sold.
