I'm too damned new at this game, and have no "Ebay reflex" set aside.

You guys make me envious!

Heheh....just give it some time Oscuro...then the stash seeking collecting bug couldl eventually hit hard. It usually only takes one or a couple of awesome deals and you will be the newest C&V stash monster trolling the bay and CL for that next great find!:rolleyes::D

But then when the day comes along to use them, I'll end up on ebay finding a slightly used version of the same part, preserving that special part, well, forever.

I'm wondering if this is a common affliction and what motivates people to finally give in and install/use some treasured part they have around.

Hello Robatsu!

Hope your healing well from your accident!
BTW, the Mavic 440 calipers I bought from you recently are currently sitting nice and pretty on my small pile of French flavored stash.:thumb:
Thank you for taking good care of them as they are as close to NOS as I think I can find (and afford). They are going on my Vitus Carbone or my next French build before they get dusty, Guaranteed! just have to make the decision. which way to go with them.
Anyway, if I don't use them and I become a big stash monster I can maybe blame you for starting it all!:D

Well, I have the START of a stash now: Suntour V-GT Luxe drivetrain, and some sugino cranks :rolleyes:

I'm just too broke. When I have money, things may well change.
