Just got a new catalog from Snap-On, having a hard time looking through it without building a crazy Want List. I have the same problem with gun catalogs like MidwayUSA but it's a tough call whether to buy gun stuff or more tools! I just bought a Snap-On Custom series tool box set and it isn't big enough for all my tools, need a another tool box and the last thing I need to do is buy more tools!

Tools?
Gun parts?
Reloading equipment?
More scopes?
Tools?
Tool box?

AARRGGGHHH!!!!!

    Call me a pansy, or whatever you want, but not only does that happen to with me to gun and tool catalogs, but also Duluth Trading Co. catalogs, and (this is where the pansy calling will happen) kitchen catalogs.

    I would sell a kidney to be able to get some of the stuff (especially cold weather gear) from the Duluth Trading Co. catalog...


    These were on my wish list at Christmas, and I never got them...[:(]

    You should see all the car & truck exhaust catalogs I get from my suppliers. Some are really cool like the ones from Flowmaster & Magnaflow. Some have some far out crazy stuff, especially the chrome & stainless tip companies. And some give me heads up on trends & policies...I feel bad for NY..in addition to all the gun bans you guys will very soon be adopting California emission standards to include "California" style cats..get ready for higher prices on cats compared to the rest of the states.[B)]

    Used to get catalogs in the mail and go through them circling stuff, folding pages, making lists. Then end up not buying anything and wishing I did.

    These days I get catalogs from companies I never heard of for stuff I have no use for or interest in. Somehow I've landed on a list for nothing that interests me.

    So it's all worked out, financially that is [8D]

    The way I handle that is to shop online...

    Take Midway or Brownells for instance... I just click on the "Add to Cart" Link as I go...
    Before you know it... I end up with 30 or 40 items in the ol'cart.

    Then when I've got everything I wanted... I go to the electronic cart.
    Sticker shock sets in... And I leave it as is for several days...
    I go back in a few days... And move ALL the items I actually believe I don't need to my 'Wish List'...
    So that the total, finally comes in to view... Just above my monetary horizon...
    By then, the adrenaline has settled and the fever is down.

    I usually walk away with the two or three things I actually 'needed'...
    For what I have money to cover.

    But... I do go and drool over the 'Wish List' often...
    Occasionally, I find money I didn't know I had. [:D]

    I keep a Brownell's catalog in the bathroom. I have mentally constructed a 1911 carry gun and a world class 10/.22 clone. I don't have the extra change to actually complete the projects, but it's fun to dream.
