No update. I'm to the point where I'm gonna ask for my deposit back and just bid myself on GB.

"don't be playing with my emotions"

Bro, u got no idea how frustrating. I could have gone the GB round from day 1.

Should've ordered a W/C!

Nah, that would be frustrating.  Nothing worse than being in limbo.  yes or no, no "guess so". 

So my FFL didn't upload his FFL info via the GB website, but emailed it to the seller instead.  Since there was no follow up and it's been 12 days, the seller cancelled his bid and is relisting the item. I will now bid on this myself and ask for my deposit back from the LGS who was bidding on the item.

Maybe you'll win for a lower amount.

Dammit.
Now I’m still anxiously watching this thread.
The saga continues.

Good luck CMO.
Keep us posted.

I mean at this point, I'm close to just paying the "buy now" of $3499.  Nevermind that I can get a Nighthawk for the same price.  Emotions are getting in the way of the brain saying not to overpay. Good news is there's 1 for $2025 and the bidding ends this Sunday. So I may get it for cheaper.

I'm usually one to goads folks into "dooo it", but in this case, "hell to the eff no" for that price. . .

FrIggin’ drck talked me into it (along with dogman and Heavies) and now I’m in rapback.
Permit pending.

I hate to say it but $3500 is probably more than my whole collection.
Or as anti’s would say “my arsenal” (seems like 4 guns and ammo is an Arsenal)
Good thing I got two big dogs.

Or as as Mac would say…
I have no guns, ammo or equipment….
….
Boating accident.

Good Luck

Glad I could "help". 

Somewhat seriously, always happy to hear folks having a new or renewed interest in firearms and shooting.  In particular, buying (or investing in) new firearms.

So, what are you getting? 

Colt Series 70 .45 1911. Circa 1980. Mint condition.
Last gun. Again. Based on your, dogman’s and Heavies words of encouragement. (Edit:forgot to mention O.F and Mac)
Exact words:

^^^ That!

Do it!  Dooooo it!

Permit pending. First day for permit pick up is Monday.
Hopefully I get my second 1911 (first true 1911. Other one is the Sig Scorpion with external extractor.) before CMO gets his first. 

CMO. You’re killing me with this process. ( Don’t know why I care. Vicariously I guess.)
Get one already. 
But no rush into it.

If i didnt get the holster already, i would have bought a scorpion. Or 2 for the same price as 1 m45. GB doesnt have as much compared to M45s. Weird.

Bid is at $2325 now. Ends tomorrow. Last one was $2625. So, so far so good. And last bid was on 4/5 and prior to was 3/29. So not much activity.

Sell the holster. Take the loss and end up saving a lot.

First time bidding? The bids will start moving in the last 10-15 minutes.

Yep.  Seasoned online auction buyers know to never place a bid too far in advance.  All that does is drive up the price during the early days of the listing.  Save your bids for the final hour and then see how serious the other bidders are.  Some may have just submitted a bid early because they liked the low price at that time.  Those guys may not come back if they don't like how high the bids have gotten.

I do like the ones that have a 5-15 minute timer for new bids.  As long as people are actively bidding, the auction continues even if it's past the close-out time.  That avoids the last-second "snipers" who try to get their bids in just in time without giving anyone else the chance to place another one.

If you can live with a Scorpion let me know. ( Considering I get the Colt)
You’re a legit guy. My daughter may hate me but she’ll still get my Glock. ( if I don’t sell it for $2,000)

Waaaayyy less than that M45  you’re looking at.
The M45 you’re looking  at seems way nicer though.
Changed action to series 70 and replaced trigger professionally.

Offer only good for CMO.
Or Glasser. 

Good luck with the purchase.
