Disclaimer, I try to be as frugal as possible and look for the best price/deals I can and don't like to pay full or average prices for things. With that said I have been browsing gunbroker looking for new pistols that I have been wanting for a while. I managed to snag a cz SP01 and a new m&p 2.0 earlier this year both at really good prices.
Well since those two purchases I have been actively looking and bidding on for a shield 2.0 or a glock 43 and have been looking at getting a 22 pistol so have been bidding on ruger mk 4's and s&w victories. Been striking out left and right. I have lost over 100 auctions over the past few weeks because I set my max price and then leave it alone, if I win great, if I don't then oh well.
When I was doing my filtering for one of my daily searches, I selected ruger as the manufacturer and let the page reset, then I sorted by lowest price and was planning on selecting 22LR for the caliber when I saw a no reserve Lightweight Commander Talo edition SR1911 with no bids, so I said why not and set a really low max bid and kind of forgot about it. I wasn't really searching for this one or even in the market, it just caught my eye.
The other morning I woke up and saw that I had an email saying I won an auction. I figured woohoo I finally got one of the four models that I have been actively bidding on for the past few weeks and opened it up to see that I did in fact win the one gun that I was not truly serious about buying. Now the pistol is on it's way here and hopefully I will have it by Friday.
