haha
wouldn't surprise me anyway.
always happens.
you get a bargain and a week later you see it somewhere on special cheaper. Not the first time. Probably why I dont root around any more. I must be getting old. Lol

Haha, you're dead right. Many years ago I bought a stolen CD player (and I knew it was hot), one week later there it was in some store for less than I paid... very embarrassing...

Edit...But to stay on topic, yes but not as quick as yours. The last 40+ degree day we had I spent online wading through the murky waters of portable aircons. Before the mercury had peaked we had educated ourselves, found the one we wanted and were furiously stoushing for a fine example on fleabay... then the cool change came and we lost interest, which was just as well as once again we were bidding TOO HIGH! Ugh

I just bought a 50" Panasonic plasma last week, Id never trust ebay for that. Pana is having a huge special on with free bonus atm and theyre going like hot cakes, I chose the home theatre, I got the V series for $2490 from 3300.

Unrelated to a TV or Ebay but the quick purchase is how I bought my first bike - GSX650F with the wife unable to disagree.

Wife came back from a holiday in thailand and she said "I want to get a scooter". I replied with "no worries, but that just means I'm going to by a bike then". end of discussion.

2 days later I was the proud owner of my new Suzuki and no licence to legaly ride it. (got one now though)
12 months on and she does not own a scooter and probably never will.

This time she's going back to thailand and while she's gone ........I'm buying a Hayabusa.
Seems fair to me.
