snap on tech angle torque wrench on CL. Used twice dude wanted $150, i missed by 5 minutes. FML. :’(:’(

I thought you just bought a whole torque wrench set?

Wayne, I think we need to give you an intervention :rofl

Hate it when shit like this happens though, especially when its due to the seller being a sleezy fuck and giving you the go ahead but then selling it to someone else who offered them more. I have had that happen to me a lot. I never do that, always respect the first come first serve (if you make an agreement with the person)

No pictures but an '04 Ski Doo Rev 800 that just needed heat exchangers sold for $1300, missed by less than 12 hours

12 hours isn’t a near miss :rofl

That one does torque angles god damnit. I probably still need an intervention, whatever.

Anyway most of the people on CL are pretty straight up. If i’m late on something (like the torque wrench) they always seem to stick to the first come first serve despite my best attempts at turning his sale into an auction. FUCKERS.

Brochure box. That’s all I could think of when I opened this thread :lol

Your lucky then, I’ve had a ton of people email me or call me back saying sorry, someone just offered me so and so ammount if you wanna beat that I’ll sell it to you otherwise I’m giving it to them AFTER WE MADE A DEAL

Full set of custom Sherwood T95 leg pads and glove and blocker in custom colors and sizing for not even half the price. Bidding war with this one guy all the way to the end. I placed a bid for like $597.76 try to and throw his bidding numbers off with like 6 sconds left he won the item for like $607.50. Must have sniped my bid at the very last second. I was sooo fucking pissed. A set like that new was close to $1300.

I in fact just ordered the leg pads in the same set up as that auction and paid $727 cause I wanted them so bad

damn!!!

Thats scummy to me. No honor.

Only thing I have gotten through CL was my CRV. Otherwise I have missed plenty of auctions on ebay by mere dollars. Lost on a few cameras before I scored mine. Multiple Transformer lot auctions with valuable figures, I have lost on so many by a dollar or two, its stupid.

Wayne does need an intervention :rofl

Whos car was that in the 1st vid? So nuts :lol

my own contribution. It was a while ago, so who knows, might have been a near miss, might not have been.

Jeremy Baye-n/a FC RX7. His lack of power means he has to take a WAY different line than me around most of the track lol. Why I decided to pass him I have no idea, but you see what happened with the rest :rofl

No clue how I made it through the last few events with straight body panels. Here’s another really good one that WASN’T my fault. :rofl

got sniped at the last minute, cock suckers
