Repeat after me "I will not search e-bay for more parts. I will not search e-bay for more parts. I will not search e-bay for more parts. I will not search e-bay for more parts. I will not search e-bay for more parts. I will not search e-bay for more parts. I will not search e-bay for more parts. I will not search e-bay for more parts. "
Anyone else notice that there are a LOT more bits for sale than there were a year ago? Searches for Herald bits in the UK (I order most stuff from the UK) are coming up with 10+ pages. A year ago there were frequently only about 3-5 pages of bits. Unfortunately I have run out of hiding places and my wife noticed last I I smuggled a new box of bits in and hid them on top of the closets.

Yes, to the point where I am now sad I did not purchase a 56 100/4 about a year and a half ago... I thought to myself, I really would like this machine, but I can't hardly find parts for it... plus it needed a full rebuild... but today I totally think it would have been worth it >.<

Sad thing is that eBay now almost universally masks bidder IDs. Way back when, I got to know a lot of my fellow Herald Bits Bidders; many of us had a very informal "gentlepersons agreement" not to bid against each other. Can't do that now.... :frown:TR4nut said:

obsession--persistant preoccupation w/ an often unreasonable idea or feeling.
addiction--compulsive need for and use of a habit-forming substance or activity.
Yup, I think that basically sums it up...See you all at the next "meeting". I'm just not so sure I want to be cured of my Triumph Disorder. Brit Bits on sale are hard to resist--just ask my husband! --Monica

First thing in the morning I go to this site, VTR and six pack. If I have time I will look at Craigs list and ebay. Not as any deals as there use to be but still can't ever tell. It is almost as much fun as driving and fixing.

Randy,
I was leading in the bidding on an item right up until the last 10 seconds on Friday night. And it was by a large amount, with plenty left behind that.
The final ten (10) seconds took over (30) and when it was over, I lost, with no chance to rebid, but the other bidder got 8 bids in the last 10 seconds. That is virtually impossible with the speed of the internet and their servers response time to each bid. The system sucks and if ebay feels they can make a few more bucks, the game goes on.
I only use it for odd ball stuff, as I have a bunch of the important spares now.
