Drunk Bidding

[2stripes]

I woke up hanging the other day after an ill judged decision to pop to back to the M&S 24hr for one more bottle of wine. About 11 am the next morning with the self loathing already kicking in, I received 3 last minute outbid alerts on some last 17 figures I'd apparently been bidding on the previous evening ... I couldn't remember a thing about bidding on any of them :!: :?: ... Luckily for me someone wanted them more, even in my most drunken states, it appears I am too tight to bid over the odds.

This, I have to admit is not the first time however, its an annoying habit! I collect vinyl and some of my most collectable stuff was fueled by drunk buying. I swear one day its going to really cost me, I mean Vinyl is one thing... but it doesn't stretch to wanting a nice set of carded turkish bootlegs... probably the only way I'd end up with an Uzay Blue Stars... but possibly divorced as a result

Anyway, if you have any similar experiences of lucky bidding escapes or drunk follies please share.

A couple

One of the best was a private plate me and the misses bought from DVLA for her car, to be honest it was a steal and looks mint on her little smart car

Ha Ha what a legend! My best one is a BIN for a Kenner 20G AFA 70 for £350 on ebay about 7 years ago. I still have it and although it wasn't that much of a over pay I just didn't really have the money at the time. Its still in the top 5 items I've spent the most on and probably always will be.

Hopefully!

This is the best type of buying... :? waking up the next day and wondering what you bought last night! :lol:
These are my last two drunk purchases, thankfully at good prices but I don't even collect Gerry Anderson anymore! :lol:
If this thread keeps going I'm sure I can add to this monthly...

About 15 years ago Sunday nights used to be wine nights and being on eBay a lot it used to end up with many drunken purchases. Monday mornings were spent frantically looking at what WE (technically she couldn't remember much so tales of encouragement were frequent and would absolve me of blame!!) had bought. The best was a carded Jawa on an Empire card from America, it was about 70 pounds and a bargain!! :lol:

I think the bank balance is safe tonight... the wife has handed me a Friday night can of weak lager from LIDL... she's obviously on to my ebay habit.

My wife is very much the enabler when she's had a few.. "go on, treat yourself, you deserve it"... its why I am getting fat too I reckon. Whereas when she's sober its.. "I hope that's porn your browsing"....

I've never bought a Star Wars toy while drunk enough not to remember it, but I did once wake up with two chicken burgers at the end of my bed, one half eaten. I must have thought I was hungry enough to eat two, but didn't even manage one before passing out

Reminds me when I woke up in my hotel after a night in Dublin for the 6 nations rugby.. I had a chow mein perched on at the top of my chest.. it looked like I'd had one mouthful and fallen asleep. I must have slept like a log as luckily it was still sat there... it was a while ago now but pretty sure it made for breakfast!

One of my mates always used to get a burger after our local club kicked us out from the same kebab house. We always used to have a lough with the guys behind the counter, nothing over the top just general banter. My mate gets home one night gets into bed to eat his burger, opens the packet and they have just put a slce of cheese in between the sliced bap! It was funny because he really liked his food.
