don't you just hate bad timing
I swear this happens to me ALL the time. A few days ago I pick up some stuff RC related and yesterday a clean A stamp for $100 pops up. Even has wide white front arms I need to complete another project. So I'm walking around bummed out at another opportunity missed. However the guy is holding some RPM parts for me until next payday.

Re: don't you just hate bad timing
Yeah, we'll see. But it's like that in life sometimes. Maybe because sometimes it's easier to focus on the negative. But man was that A stamp in better shape than my goldie. ![Mad :x](./images/smilies/icon_mad.gif)

Re: don't you just hate bad timing
So this guy just posted a Graphite for $60. So I sent hima message explaining that he's killing me. To make a long story short, the goldie and Graphite along with RPM arms are sitting in a box waiting for me. Winning.

Re: don't you just hate bad timing
It usually works like this: when you have money, you never find anything you want on eBay/Craigslist/Kijiji. When you're out of money, all those rare items you really want & need suddenly pop up all over the place--usually for fantastic prices, too. ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: don't you just hate bad timing
Yeah, the photos above, he had listed the A stamp for 100, the graphite for 60 and the RPM lot 25.

Re: don't you just hate bad timing
Got it! Yippie. And didn't charge me the 25 for the RPM parts, so all this for 160. Wife's not too happy.
