Dang it!  I missed that one

I was prepared to go to $325,000.01! :rolleyes:

:laughing-rofl: I'll bet you were sweating bullets for a bit there. With my luck some rich guy would have been a bidder and just had to have that until it just went too far and he gave up. :)

This kind of worked out for you because it sold for what they typically go for. Now, if you made this little foul up on something real pricey like an expensive car and the bidding went wild then you might have some splaining to do!   :laughing-rolling: Just wonderin, did you share this little story with Mrs.Bo.?

WOW !!   What if the other person had just enough time to post one more bid after your bid and made the same mistake as you and their bid was  $324,000.00.    :scared-eek:  Good news is you would have won the auction. Bad news is the sign would have cost you $324,001.00 That would have been one expensive sign.    :ROTF: Sorry Steve, That isn't really funny, Well maybe a little bit funny ?   :hide:

You have to be careful when you're snipe hunting.

Well it just arrived. Was shipped from Canada. It spent a decent amount of time getting through customs.... I am happy with it.

I've gotta stop by (when it gets warmer) to check out this new barn, it looks amazing (and I want to drive the D250 before it's gone :) )

The D250 may be staying. I really have not had the opportunity to use it with all the snow. I want to see how she mows....
