Crud! Should have bid more - It got away.

Just another cryin' in the root beer song.

After I promised myself I would never let it happen again, I fell in love with a pretty little blue vintage Coleman 243a single-mantle lantern on E-bay. Started by just "watching", then I started bidding. I bid $30, but at the last minute some big-spender swept in and bid $31, now its gone!

AL :cry:

Thanks, Kirk - Of course there's only cure to this disease that ails me, gotta find another one and bid again...

(Heard there's a pretty gold one on Ebay right now...But I think its out of my range) LOL!
