I was looking for one. I was looking for a 707. That is all I thought I could afford. Well I watched one go for over 500.00. Didn't bid Thought oh well I will be happy with what is coming. Well while looking I saw another Grace that I priced awhile back. There was no way. The last one I saw went in one day with a price of 690.00. A Grace 704. I was told it would go for 5 to 600.00 w/o the base. It was below 100.00 so I took it to the highest bid of 101.99. That was my highest bid at the time. I made 3 others on Snipe. First I went to 175.09 then 249.99 then 274.09. I went to 274 after it jumped to 202.00 with 4 mins to the end. I got back and it was already over my snipe so I went to reset the price. Snipe wouldn't let me. It was at 55 seconds and I'm scrambling to get back to EBay. 19 seconds to go and I place it.

I am going to email a machinist. It went higher than I thought it would. When the bids started jumping by 100.00. Yea They were doing round number bids like 200 and 300.00. I got it for 304.00. Ever get buyers remorse? My wife would freak. LOL I sold gear to buy gear. And pay people. When I say I bought this or that I'm not bragging. I will be honest in what I think. It is so others can learn. You have to have a pecking order. It can't all sound great just because you bought it. So if you learn from my mistakes all is good. When you were a child and you got a new bike the 1st thing you did was take it to show to the other children. When I find something no one else is in my thought process. To be honest. I never thought I could afford that arm. I have been looking at Grace tonearms awhile. When I bought the BL 10 I started looking and reading. That was about a year ago. I haven't listened to 10 CD since June. Did the DVDs. I figure this is my next step.

I never place an even bid, so many people do, you can beat them by pennies in a snipe, yep I've done it by pennies, I go odd down to the pennies, yes, i am an odd person too, I have to figure the one that lost is very pissed!

You are getting closer, Larry. Although that tonearm base is a bit out of town, it beats milling one up.
