True but I ask who other than myself gives a rat sass that I was first? Then... I see all the folks who weren't first but who do have an extra $500-$700 in their pockets because they were more patient than me and I ask " Who's got 2 thumbs and zero brains?". Then I turn and see the answer in the mirror.
I never cared for deflowering virgins. Truthful honest statement.
I often figure a lot of this has to be how much "disposable income" different people have. Back in the days when I went to shows a lot I a few times sold something for enough I drove home feeling guilty to some extent. It was their money though and some probably can toss around $600 the way I might toss $6, so to them its nothing. These are holding at $1200 as of today and I have to guess a few are paying that price. I guess it must be people who can toss the extra hundreds of bucks since to them its nothing.True but I ask who other than myself gives a rat sass that I was first? Then...

I am, at times, the only Keltec and Taurus supporter! Do I win a prize!
If you get one you have to share with me. I have been a fanboy of KT since before I found this site. Don't currently have any Taurus but, have always been ready to say I have owned several and have zero problems with recommending them to anyone who has realistic idea's of what they get with them.
And that is fine however but never in my life have I felt the need to pay twice or more just to have the 'latest and greatest' of anything - regardless of the amount - even if it was an item where double the price was not that significant. And, while most of the time it was not necessarily a case of money stopping me but just the feeling that by doing so I was not giving myself the time to consider the purchase, ensuring it was something I really wanted etc. Doing something as impulsively as this would have in a way, lessened the 'desire' to have and respect the item I bought. I hope this makes sense!
Yes it does and I find myself doing this all the time. Even with items that cost a few bucks. I have found myself skipping over some item because it was a buck cheaper somewhere else. Sometimes I laugh at myself, thinking its "being cheap". I guess having lived many years hand to mouth it made me that way on some things. Nothing against those who want to pay $1200 for one of these even though I would not . Since I say all the time that if I won the lotto I would buy some NFA stuff at insane prices. Difference I guess is that's not a matter of waiting. When the at that time new Ruger PCC hit I was in LOVE. Being a HUGE fan of PCC's. I started watching the auction and when one hit at around $50 more than I figured they would bottom out at I started getting serious, and finally bought. Tempting to buy one 6 months earlier at hundreds more? Hell yes, I can certainly afford it. Like you it would take a lot of the "joy" out of having the gun if I over paid like that though. As much as I would love to have one of these new HP's, and I can certainly afford to pay the going rate, I would be mad at myself the whole time I was trying to enjoy the damn pistol. Not to mention I would be somewhat embarrassed to admit to others I paid that much for the damn gun.
