I was checking in last night before turning in and found a World book with a set of early Armenian stamps that I wasn't sure whether or not I already had them. While I was hauling out my album to check, and "no, I didn't have them!", someone else bought them. It's sort of like there's a feeding frenzy for the type of item that my Minkus Russia album puts in it's BOB. You really have to grab the stuff right away. By the way, I'm not ticked off! That type of material is not really pricey or rare, it will show up again. But I have to be quicker next time! At Wits End

I've lost out on many items while checking to see if I already have it.... As the old saying goes.... You snooze... You lose!

Yup. Happened to me quite a few times as well. I have to ask myself, is it better to buy first and get an item twice or to take the time to look it up and possibly not get it at all? A real dilemma!!
