I am tempted to suggest we create a sub-forum for our FSs so they can compare one another's stashes

I am sure mine's (it fills a whole spare bedroom) is bigger than your's 😂

Hi Soren,

Good job regarding your sniping. I am the king of sniping! 😜

I have very fast fingers & have been known to snipe during the very last second or two. I have probably ruined a few days of some anonymous people out there, then again, I have been smoked once or twice as well.

Cheers,

Duncan

I don't like sniping, and normally just place my highest bid, and hope for the best, in this case I wanted the BM 5000 really badly, it was the last item missing for a complete stack, I observed the Item for 6 days, no bids, last 12 hours 3 bids, highest 137.50 US, with 30 seconds left I placed a 252 US bid and got it for US 202.50, I went that high only because the seller claims it to work with no problems, and he has a 100 % feedback, furthermore I had a good gut feeling after seeing the photos of the working unit.

Next week I go up to McAllen TX to pick up all the BS 5000 items and some more internet buys, its a pain in the but, 900 miles up (12-14 hours), same home, and then I have to let the FS loose with her credit cards on all the malls in and around McAllen😠

From what I read here, you are on your way to a brilliant setup.

I cannot wait to get back into my threads, trust me. All I dream of is laying on my couch while listening to my 3000-2 and BeoVoxes. Unfortunately, this will have to wait even longer. I am spending my spring break in Florida! This summer will be filled with Beo projects. Eugene and Jacques will have to keep the ball rolling until then.
