Can I tell my wife you approved this? Four more days in the auction. If I make a move I'll put in a sniper bid. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Around here, all wives have decreed that my seal of approval is to be met with an instant rejection. But she doesn't know me, so go ahead =) Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

It goes without saying, they learn how to do this at a young age. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I don't think it's worth it. Have you priced a new model with the features you are looking for locally? For the same money as the uni and shipping, you could get a very nice mountain bike (or two, or three), and take the entire family out for some exercise. Consider a tandem for you and Mrs. Wizard. That could be big fun-ercise... |

He can take his family along.  You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| beachbumbabs Member since: Sep 3, 2013 Threads: 6 Posts: 1600 | I would say it depended on the price you can sniper it for. If regardless of price, I would say no, unless you're selling the other two. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

I don't think you'll regret that decision. Would it be cheaper to buy the individual components and assemble them yourself? Prior to the overseas bank ripoff, you were considering a car purchase for Mrs. Wizard. Did that get taken care of? If not, maybe Mrs. Wizard would be more open to a new uni for you if her ride got upgraded before yours. |
