Curious, as I caught myself feeling this way-
How many of you hit the classifieds first when logged into AGN, then hope there’s nothing of interest to you or nothing you can’t live without, as

1. You don’t feel like depleting more $$ out of your bank account
2. You don’t want to dive anymore deeper into this hobby
3. Feel like the part your buying may end up collecting even more dust than the seller had on it.

For me pellet purchases are the worst, as I look at stacks of tins as $$ that could’ve went elsewhere, but with shortages and prices hiking up, it’s a worthwhile investment. Sometimes I find myself hoping it sold before i get to them, ha!

@Bigragu I’m not usually logging on to look at the classifieds. When I do it’s often not the first part of the site I’m looking at. Hey I look at the guns I have yet to shoot and that usually takes away any urge to splurge. I honestly don’t need more guns. I tell myself I could use a certain gun, but I’ve been fine without it. There are a few models I’d like to buy and try, but I’m in no rush. Hopefully I have time later today to shoot one of the new ones I haven’t gotten around to shooting yet. The forecast looks promising. I really want to get out for some pesting over the holiday. Wishful thinking for now. As for the pellets, I see nothing wrong with building your stock incrementally. It beats hoarding by making a huge purchase when a vendor’s shipment comes in and screwing the next guy out of an order who has been waiting for a certain brand and/or caliber to come back in stock. If you shoot regularly I don’t see having an inventory as a waste. You can always cease to order more and shoot from your accumulated stock for a while.

Yeah I’m not looking for guns neither, just a certain pellet type(like what Gendoc sold me) and possibly certain impact parts.

Although rare that we see tools for sale, I’m always on the lookout for specialty type tools used for the guns I own

Yep I do the same thing. I can’t stop looking but pray there isn’t anything I can’t live without. Lol. For me I kind of pass for the most part on pellets. I just use PA as they are so susceptible to damage in shipping and most don’t package them well enough even though they think they do. Although I guess we are never completely safe as I just opened a horrible tin of air arms 18 grainers I got from PA awhile back. Not a scratch or dent on the tin but them skirts are horrible. Frustrating.
