It was the same with watches. Once I'd acquired the elusive first model of the Elgin Bumper Automatic, I stopped wanting any new wrist watches, and after I finally got one of the first run of the last model of Elgin BW Raymond railroad pocket watch, I stopped wanting any new pocket watches. Up till then, I was checking Ebay multiple times a day - a surprising number of great deals pop up that need to be jumped on, like the seller who lists a solid gold watch as gold filled, for a low Buy It Now price. I saw that twice, and hit the BUY button so hard I could have hurt myself. The funny thing is, in BOTH cases, the sellers' photos CLEARLY showed the '14k Gold' hallmark.
