    98c's, a second phantom because...reasons?, Intimidator to build and that's just within the past year when I decided to get back into it. I have a lot of impulse buys (about 95% of my current markers), unfortunately. I went and purged a ton last fall, and will likely need to do it again.

      Literally impulse bought an Eclipse Impulse and then built two more base-model guns. Didn't even take them to the field before selling them.

        2 seasons ago, I impulse bid on a 68-classic automag , brand new in box, with a JJ barrel, on ebay . I threw a $125 max bid at it, thinking new in box would see it go a lot higher. Don't I end up winning the thing!

        The shipment arrives and I notice right away the guy forgets to include the JJ barrel, so I try to contact him to either refund me the cost of the barrel, or just ship the barrel to me at his expense.

        The dude ghosts me.

        I try multiple times over a week, finally give up and open a claim with Paypal. I expected them to refund me maybe the cost of the barrel , say $30....but they ended up refunding me the entire sale!!!

        I figured i'd get a reply now from the guy , once he saw the money leave his paypal, and then my plan was to settle up with him, xfer the money back minus the cost of that barrel.

        Incredibly, nothing but crickets from him still !

        Very weird situation, but hey, free automag!!!

          I am set up as a 501.c3 tax-exempt for the specific reason of providing Automags to reformed delinquents, namely moi. I will accept your donation and provide a receipt for a tax deduction.

        Bought an all clear JT Proteus in Feb with the goal of clearing it up and using it. It's still sitting in the box it arrived in.

          Just bought 4 stingrays off ebay because I wanted 1. I was only interested in them because they were the original full barrel cover version that I remember from back in the day.

          I mostly just impulse buy high end/rare cocker parts, and almost always sell them at a loss a year or so later.

            Don’t regret it. But buying my PGP2k was a impulse buy. Found it covered in dust new in box at a pro shop one day. Never really gave them much thought prior. And I never been much good at playing stock class but I had to have it.

            Think I may have run it twice at a field in this entire time but still happy I have it.

              My first Contour mask. Only got it cause it had just been restocked. Now it's my favorite mask!

              Oh, and my first Crossover. Went to play at the local indoor field years ago and saw it. Thought it was neat with the modes so I took it.

                    On that note. I bought my pre 2k pump kit back from a buddy. He mechd a bob long sniper I sent him. Its not a mini kit, so not what you are after, but funny when your wtb popped as its the day I got it back.
