On it already..

Mmmm? That one ended in a weird fashion? US$1525+

Pretty much above retail?

I had also placed a bid on an Eastman B-6 here in Australia, high bidder on it all week and that one has been pulled.
Today must be the day of the eBay Gremlins... or the lowballers...

Yeah bizarre huh? Not exactly indicative but still more fuel to get my Yeager signed hardly worn sz48 RMNZ seal listed....

So your B-6 wasn't this one obviously. I had a snipe set for it but luckily for me it surpassed my price.

That was the one...it went into limbo around 1500 with the eBay update/outage..
Not all the stuff was there. It popped up again after half an hour. I pushed it to
$650, given it was waaaay too big. I would think it would be an Aussie who bought
it. Shipping would be over $100!!! Three Buzz's for the week it is...

I adoped the Daryl Kerrigan train of thought - "If you get it half price it's a bargain."

An LS kit perhaps tomorrow and that will do for a while... Four weeks at work, five
weeks off and then at work every day from 29 Jan to mid September...Have a lot
to do before then...

My exact thinking as well, luckily for the seller he found someone more generous than me.

Trev, a tough call it is indeed but at least you have job security!

After this trip I could be a free agent. Our numbers are dwindling and we have the highest separation rate
in the Defence Force (our trade). Guys are leaving to uncertainty, and self funded Uni Degrees, IOT escape
the cut backs and pointless admin. As long as I have the domestic responsibilities I am going nowhere..

Despite the smoke and mirrors our Canberra crew use, I only see hardship and job losses... I have not heard
of any company hiring 1000 workers at a time. It has to be impacting around the world. As long as the Governments
keep borrowing and upping the debt, private equity rules the world..

Guys here are having a hard time moving jackets that anybody would love to possess.. Across the whole range of
makers too, and at good prices. I am sure the sellers would even add payment plans to their good value pricing to
get a sale..

A bit of latitude has been granted due to the some sales of rarely used US and Australian military rifles, LS kits and a
couple of Tanker jackets. I just have to make sure the boxes only rock up on the rare occaision. So to whack a few
in the one box is safest...for me..

Relisted.....

$1500+ was a tad unrealisitic...

Notice the current highest bidder came secod last time with a bid of $1501... Presuming he got a second chance offer he wasn't so keen to follow through at that price.
