I had a snipe in for a frameset the other day. I cancelled my snipe about a half hour before it ended. I just wasn't ready to hear, "Justin! Did you buy ANOTHER bike!?" when my wife found it on the porch.
I did win this little guy, though.

She thought the last one was really cool. I bought a Gazelle badge that came from the Netherlands and she found the addressing pretty comical as "United States" was in Dutch. She also thinks it's funny to pronounce "Nederland". What can I say? She's easily amused.

My wife disovered my last frame purchase in my closet where I had stashed it between 2 suits. They look everywhere.

Head badges are easier to smuggle in past their keen radar. I think mine has infra red, magnetic resonance imaging software built in.

Hmm, I've had a frame that was hiding in the basement for a few months sitting in my work stand the last week and my wife hasn't even commented. I find keeping them in parts makes them harder to count!

Yeah, I sent the guy $15 with the assumption that this is a scam. Even at my relatively young age I forget just about everything so if the badge does indeed show up, well, yay. If nothing else, for $15 I received "thousands of thanks".

You know, assuming it shows up, it's only a matter of time until you feel you need the frame to go with it.

will contribute to my eventual ruin. I just really am not up to
another divorce at this point in my life.
