in this case yes it is a good thing but as far as getting those hard to get girls in school....99% of the time they are more trouble than they are worth. what did you win at auction?

Any excuse to show off my stuff. I sold it and the
buyer had "buyer's remorse" and sent it back. I am SOOO grateful to have it back.

Buyers remorse? I have never heard of that. I have heard of sellers remorse though. Nice M17 Bern :vcool: :vcool: I think these look great but they would have to lower the price on them for me to get one. :D

yeah "buyers remorse" is a phrase new to me :?: I once bought a 03a3 from a online classifieds and there was like no bore left.... I still had no remorse but then again an addict will take anything right?

Looks like a nice rifle from what I can see of the pics, cell phone camera?

This is an excellent camera that I have used for over a year now, takes surprisingly good indoor pics for a point and shoot. I have no idea why it's selling for so much new when I paid much less when I got mine, but note that there are several selling used for under a hundred bucks.


Addicts need clear, well lit pics to feed the addiction :)

This is also a very good one, I used it before the upgrade to the 780 about three years back, and it's a bit cheaper.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Cell phone cameras can surprise you. I took these with my cell. You can take good pics with a crap camera if you have good light. Take lots of pics and choose the best ones.Image

Really nice 1917 I would have purchased over an AK anytime, I have only had buyers remorse when buying sight unseen from a distributor or big mail order out fit and getting something totally mismatched or just simply not worth the money, never on an over the counter or private sale where I could inspect the firearm. Plenty of sellers remorse though.
