Sorry to hear of your loss. If your bid had been $25.00 higher you still
would of probably loss.

Greetings Greetings fellow Ten-Tec amateurs,
For what it is worth (nothing really):
The operative word in the salutation is amateur.
I make mistakes, I learn through trial and error, a lot more error than
trial, that's because I am an amateur.
I am the losing bidder in the auction on the recent unmentionable venue
for used amateur equipment. I lost the fine American made high end
transceiver of my dreams favored on this list on this unmentionable venue
for used amateur equipment by 25 USD. Around 1%+/- of the total bid price.
I put my high bid in initially modeled on the for sale ads on this
reflector, two other classified venues (not sure if it's OK to mention them
so discretion is the better part of valor) and stuck to it to the bitter
end. I could care less if Joe T. Tec(the winning bidders name is changed to
protect the indecent) wants to pay a premium for a fine American made high
end transceiver. I do not( well I do but I can't).
Now, my question is: Did I lose this auction by 25 USD (1%+/- of the
total bid) on this unmentionable venue for used amateur equipment because
it was unintentionally mentioned on this reflector?
If yes, I guess I have the right of indignation. If no, I guess I have
the right of being impertinent. If yes and no I've the right of being
indignantly impertinent; which I am most of the time.
But, being the adult I am I will recover.
I am a man and I can change, if I have to, I guess.
Sincerely and satirically, your fellow amateur up in arms,
Stephen, KG0K
