    I have the anti-gloat... take immediately and administer a hug!

    Seattle Craigslist... which I usually monitor constantly... just had a Grizzly 16" Bandsaw--broken switch but otherwise works fine--go for... are you ready?.... FREE!!!!

    I MISSED IT by less than 30 mins.

    There is no emoticon to capture my disappointment.

    Now LOML will have to never again complain about me incessantly checking Craigslist!

    I'm gonna cry.
    Never met a bargain I didn't like.

          I have an anti-gloat too.

          On e-bay there was an Incra router table set-up - positioner, table, dust box, phenolic insert, frame w/ casters, and built-in storage cabinet. Seller claimed it was $900 new and never used. I looked at Woodpeckers and added up about $700 w/o the cabinet or shipping so his $900 claim was probably close.

          It was pick-up only - not far from my house. Ending time was 10pm my time. I went on the computer at 9:45pm it was at $320. Went to Woodpeckers again to check his items cost. Looked at the clock and it was 4 min. to 10. Went to enter a $350 bid and bidding was over (the wall clock, which is ususlly dead on, was for some reason off by 5 min.). It sold for $320....I couldn't sleep at all last night.

                  Don't beat yourself up too bad with Ebay.
                  The price it sold for was not likly the price you could have got it for.
                  Its the price the second higest bidder stopped at.
                  The winner may have bid $500 for the Incra...

                      Been there, done that and bought the T-shirt.
