It sucks to be grown up and responsible sometimes.  I have been wanting the DP carbon solo seat since the first time I saw one.  I had every intention of nabbing one off ebay yesterday.  I bid from day one (to drop the buy it now) and was planning on throwing down with any would be bidders until the last second if neccessary.  Nothing was going to stop me....I thought.  Of all times for the air conditioner in my house to die.  A new unit is $6900.00.  Personally, I would have bought the seat, turned on the fans, and just ran around the house in my underwear.  But, with a wife and three kids, it didn't seem like a valid option.  So, I sat and watched the auction run out.  I didn't need that damn seat anyway!

For 7G's I hope that you are getting a dual stage high efficientcy unit, both indoor and out.

Teach the kids how to fan you properly.

Seriously, you're a good man.

Or at least that's what I told myself that when I socked away enough money to buy a StreetFighter S into the kid's college fund.

You on the other hand, are a very very bad man. This we can all agree on [laugh]

Dude that was mean. Thats like a guy telling you his dog got hit by a car, and you telling him it felt like a speed bump.

Being a real man isn't easy. I respect men like you who make unselfish choices. I recently had to sell my Monster to cover family expenses. I feel your pain. Keep it up. [thumbsup] [beer]

He never shows the underside of the tail..  I bet it's just like the one I bought, without a pin to lock it into the latch. 

I ended up making one.  At least now I know what it might be worth, when I make up my mind to sell it  ;D

I am not sure if I want to say congratulations, or you suck, first.  I am pretty sure it would be in the same sentence though.  (I am assuming you are the new owner).  Ah well,  I am glad that someone here bought it so that I can at least look at it now and again.

What is going to really suck is if the winner backs out and the seller sends you a second chance offer [cheeky]

I doubt that happens, but you never know.  Well, I guess I could ask.  "He winner, you planning on backing out?"

Yea, its one of those high efficiency, multi zone setups.  It also has a juicer attachment and doubles as a karaoke machine.

The really shitty part it, our house is going on the market in the next week or so.  The heating and air guy offered to patch our old unit up to get through the sale, but that's just not a cool thing to do.  So, I guess my new specialty in life is to do my part in providing others with cool motorcycle seats and brand spankin' new air conditioners.

Don, if it happens not to have a pin, be scratched, sit crooked, or just doesn't seem to cradle your nuts exactly right.  Shoot me a PM and let me know.  I promise not to poke fun or laugh.  I will just privately snicker while enjoying what will soon be someone elses new air conditioner.

don't bother burying the air conditioner if its about to be somebody else's air conditioner. consider having it done at your next residence if you plan on making it a long term home. (see also: tankless water heater).
