Last week Charley saw an auction about an hour away featuring a motherlode of clock parts. We've been to this auction house before and there's a guy there who always bids the clocks up to the limit of little-no profitability. Since this was an earlier auction (3 PM on a Wednesday) we took the chance on the hopes that asshole wouldn't show up, but this time was no different.
I know his user id on ebay, and for the prices he's getting on these clocks, there's no excuse for him bidding that high other than the right to be the biggest asshole in the room at any given point. He finally "let" me have 2 wall clocks after a bloodbath. Luckily, the $15 lot of dolls I won minutes before will pay for themselves and the overpayment on the clocks. Ugh. I should make my money back, but not before I have to drop another $30 or so in repair parts. Never again.
