Missed a mag...Ultrastar .40

Fleabay popped up an Ultrastar .40 mag with box & papers...
I'd watched it run thru a few auctions, no bidders...
it popped up again and had a few days on it, so I figured
on bidding Sunday, as the clock ran down...
welp, didn't pay attention, it was set as a One Bid & Gone deal...
so the first bidder got it...at $45...dangit.
Too bad they didn't let it run like a normal auction,
more bids would have happened.

I snoozed, I lost...c'est la vie

Brings to mind other Missed Deals...
bet almost everyone has one of those to tell

It brings to mind the Ultrastar .40 magazine that I didn't miss. It sat in a gun store in Clearwater for months but I didn't have a Ultrastar .40 until I found one at the Lakeland gun show. I drove to Clearwater that day and it was still there for $20.

The deal I did miss was a Russian Draganov at a pawn shop in Ocala. When I asked about it they said they sold it just before I walked in for $600.
