Why is it
that as soon as you see a great, never-to-be-repeated, deal on something you’ve been dying to get your grubby paws on, you never have the cold cash in hand to be able to take advantage of it?
Or is it only me?
Case in point; Item A retails for $1100. Check out auction sites regularly for Item A. Find Item A listed at $650 (kewl, no?). Auction ends, no bidders, seller offers buy now price of $500. Now, between “Find Item A listed at $650″ and “Auction ends…” yadda, yadda, yadda…yours truly gets fu – uuuuhhhh – bloody fine of $530, and yours truly (and financial manager) had thought the $500 was do-able too.
Again; why is it???
