I started getting bored with one of my machines & put it up for sale. Now I can't stop looking everywhere at machines for sale...Am I alone? My wife is getting mad & I'm ready to smack someone at Craigslist for making you search city by city for machines.. Plus no one has EVER replied to an email yet on there...
I look when I get tired of what I have. But the overriding consideration is where I am in my "mad money" fund. I will not go into debt for a pin.

You can download a nifty CL app called Craigslist Pro.. It allows you to search multiple cities and send notifications to your phone/email when new ads appear. Im sure your wife will love me for this!
And to your question... Im ALWAYS looking. 
Yep, always looking. no money in the bank?? still looking.
I blame CL too. About 18 months ago my folks were in town for a week. too busy, didn't look. probably couldn't have run out to grab a pin anyway --- BUT a nice DM and JM sold for $950 or $975 close by, and I'd been looking for both.
Now if i dont look, i'm just SURE i'm missing out. Its a sickness...

Hey, don't be spreading all the secrets around. 
It's like the ultimate scavenger hunt.....thrill of the hunt! Even the parts hunting! I am always looking, the problem with that is then you are always wanting to buy and the pocket book doesn't always work out.
Until recently, I was always browsing. Don't have the time for fixer uppers right now so haven't done more than idly look. Besides, saving up for Metallica in the off chance it is a mind blower.
Every minute of every day, but admittedly getting far more
discriminating. Gotta be the right condition, price and closeby.

always looking, got a couple friends who have certain pins on their wish list. they look almost every day too, so we keep each other informed if we see any pins on our want list
Quoted from mcclad:Waaaaay too much. I guess the more you have, the more you want.
You aren't kidding..I bought my 1st one thinking this is it...what a lie that was..But I believed it at the time..

I downloaded it, but it is almost the same as the regular Craigslist. It only lets me search 1 location at a time & I don'e see any email notification settings. What am I doing wrong?

This is what you are looking for....

I am always looking for the next pin. I pass on a few that are way too expensive. Occasionally I find a gem that has been tucked away in a basement for many years. All too often I find an EM with a dead mouse and nest on the PF stored in a wet basemant that the owner claims is worth $1500 dollars because one like it is that much on ebay.
When I have pin shopping money then I hound, hound, hound until I find something.
When I don't I don't even look.

Thx, I'll try it. I think I downloaded the regular Pro not the Pro+
Quoted from Methos:Dumb question - do you down load this right on your phone? Does it have to be an Iphone?
So you've been beating me to all these games and you don't even have notifications on your phone? Damn, i might as well quit looking once you get that set up on your phone. lol.
I'm just giving you a hard time, Mark. No offense meant.
I have my collection pretty much where I want it for now. However, i am constantly looking at what comes up for sale and the new Sterns.

None taken, I know it's in jest. In fact I've been passing quite a few up. Running out of $ and room.
