Wine fuelled purchases on eBay

[frogspawn]

I think there's a whole generation of guys of a certain age who cut their teeth on these Hondas. Mine was a CD175 back in the day. Talking of North East Scotland, it's where my CB200 came from. I have the original number plate showing it came from Pittenweem.

Started with a CB200 - GVB11N

I repeatedly buy antique calculating devices from the same German seller.

Were they the seller's pictures or did you take them after delivery? ;-)

Seller's photographs, but those interestingly attired mannequins are beginning to pile up a bit now and it must cost him a fortune in postage.

Mrs z treated me to some nice coffee for my Sage espresso machine...

However, she bought coffee beans... and we don't have a coffee grinder...

A few glasses of red wine later I have a burr coffee grinder en-route from Amazon (or eBay - I'll have to check my emails).

Which I'm sure will work out more expensive than just returning the beans - but it made perfect (man)sense at the time.

I've gone 2 for 2 purchasing full size Steinhart Ocean 1s whilst under the influence, the drink clearly made me forget that the lug to lug width is far too big even for my wrists.

I've yet to try the 39mm variant so that's on the list for next time I get Oliver Twist

You should go with the 39.. :P

I find it hard hiding new watches from the wife let alone interestingly attired mannequins. How do you hide them all?

Bought plenty of watches “late at night” on eBay, but the pinnacle of my adventures still remains the bulletproof jacket hanging in my wardrobe!

A long time ago I fancied an Alfa 156, so I bought one on eBay, but when I turned up it was a 166.
I hadn’t read the description, it said “ not 156 “ nice car but hellish expensive to repair and a bugger to sell on.

Oops , why when I was happy enough to have been out bid 2 days ago did I feel the need to increase my bid just because I got the 1 hr to go email!

Oh well , I guess I’ll have to explain that one to MrsO - especially as I hadn’t had a drink.

Cutest car ever. You don't know whether to drive it or pat its head. Makes Herbie look like a serial killer.

I've had a few wine o'clock moments. This was one...



Already had the example on the left(which no doubt some are already questioning my alcohol intake), but saw the one on the right, hadn't seen a German market one before and convincing myself *hic* I should have a spare movement for the other one, woke up the next day to find I'd won the auction. Didn't even remember bidding.
