don't you just hate bad timing

Post by Johnboy72 »

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.

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. :x

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.

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. :lol:

Yeah, the photos above, he had listed the A stamp for 100, the graphite for 60 and the RPM lot 25.

Got it! Yippie. And didn't charge me the 25 for the RPM parts, so all this for 160. Wife's not too happy. :lol:
