    Default Kicking myself

    I found a once in a lifetime deal on the bay yesterday. I showed it to my wife who promptly refused to allow me to get it at such a steal...what was this wonderful thing you ask...a cased toggle with the blades and instructions. Perfect working order with little to no wear on the gold finish...BIN $100. Gone in minutes...

    There's an old saying, "It's easier to ask forgiveness than to get permission". Lesson learned!

    Bummer . . . Not to make matters worse, but a $100 toggle is an investment. Wives should appreciate a good investment.

    You could have tripled your money easy with a re-sell whenever you decided . . . and then bought your wife some nice flowers. Something to bear in mind for next time.

    Live and learn...IF I ever get the chance again I'll never ask. She'll never know until she notices it on the shelf.

    No!
    Unless his man cave is also his shave den..... then that would kinda like being in the dog house, depending on how big his shave den is...

    Holy cow, I found it. Listed as a "gold adjustable".

    The only thing missing was the blade pack.

    Guess I just overlooked the blade pack not being there. Still makes my stomach churn.
