I confess. I succumbed to the pressure--for awhile. My first and last bidding war.
eBay just had a Lee Loader in .32 ACP listed. I waited till the last day (yesterday) to bid. Price had stayed around $20 or so, until I jumped into the fray. Was willing to pay around $30+S/H. Ended up walking away at $40.
It's so easy to get into a bidding war, unless you set your absolute max price before you make your first bid, and then stick to it. Otherwise, you get into the trap of thinking, "Heck, I can go just one more dollar." You do that enough times, and, pretty soon, you're talkin' real money.
One might ask why buy a Lee Loader in .32 auto? Why not just buy dies? Well, I've got an old French semi-auto that I'd like to shoot only every now and then, maybe 10-12 rounds at a time. I'd rather use the old whacker for reloading than handling those small bullets and powder in the turret press.
