I think so, it was $65 plus $5.95 shipping.  I feel as though it was a very fair, reasonable price and I feel some justification that it helped to offset some SAKs I've overpaid for.

Nice Nespresso, FB!

Technically, still 'in' for the challenge...but no auctions closing tomorrow that I'm really watching, so I'd probably have to go to a buy-it-now/wishlist type item to stay in...

4 buys today so far and I could have just milked it by paying for one tomorrow. I figured that wouldn't be in the spirit of the challenge as issued.

I am still in minus one day...so technically out, but I'm just wanting to see how many days in February I do buy something.
You're still in so that's very cool!  :tu:

Nah, I'm only 'in' because my bar for buying is much much lower!  About half of what I've bought in Feb are for serious repair or fodder of some sort.

I did get a NIB '76 Explorer today, but that's one off the better ones.


Favorite is definitely this one:


Strangest one is the Grand Prix no scissors:

I just bought another security blanket!
I didn't think I'd ever find another mint-in-box one and I worried that my current one would show wear and now I don't have to worry.  I can continue to carry my most sentimental one knowing a mint one is in the collection.
It's just a silly collecting idiosyncrasy that I have.

I think that's common enough around here that it's *not* an idiosyncrasy...  ;)  Well, maybe outside MTO and amongst *other* people.  :rofl:

Heck, I even get backups for user copies.  :D

Nice Rambler, btw.  :tu:

Stay the course, FB!  Forget the pens and toothpicks!

Might have to ignore my own advice...

https://tortoisegear.com/product/firefly-variety-8-pack/


Not toothpick or tweezers, but still just an accessory, and not an official SAK brand.

We'll see about tonight. Heavy day yesterday, but not much of interest to me up for bidding today.
