velosniper...
I just stumbled into this defunct short lived blog: Velosniper: Item Not Won.
Just the first page and I was entertained. Our DrilliumDude made it on an older post on page two.
Too bad it wasn't kept up.

A blast from the past - I was surprised to see that name in a thread!
Boy, that guy knew his s*** for sure. I loved reading his compilations, taking excerpts from the auctions and adding some insightful observations of his own. He seemed to be quite good at researching his chosen subjects.
Lots of eye-candy there, and some absolutely eye-popping dollar amounts at auction's end.
I hope he comes back to it someday.

I happily wasted a lot of time reading that blog.
It also helped convince the mrs that I wasn't THAT crazy with some of my own purchases!
I, too, hope he returns in some form or another.
