It's just a matter of breaking the cycle of "seeing and just buying" If I remind myself of what I have and I made a commitment I immediately am like, oh yeah, not buying because I don't need it and I move on.

Happy Happy Sounds like you are handling it very well:  You are on top of the restraint, and not the other way round.

Man, that bites! Sorry for the loss of a Toggle. Seems odd, though. Don't know if I have ever had a seller cancel.

Well I made it 19 days and from a friends estate that was a forum member I got a deal on this Executive I couldn't pass up and another Canadian Williams coffee mug thrown in for free. No other purchases planned though.....

Just oggled pictures of Karve Overlander (brass).  I'm in love.  I am sure I'm in love. The spiral into the RAD vortex began. Step one (patience): check.

Have now completed hours of due diligence (pre-purchase rationalization, used to ameliorate subsequent guilt and buyers remorse). Step two (research, rational,need-not-want): check. 

Now complete the purchase, now, not later. Wimp. Coward. Gutless.

I'm accumulating these step threes like razor blade binge buying.

One hour... Tick... Tick... Tick

Great news! Restraint lasted 24 hours. A record for me. RAD eliminated. Could have resisted another few hours, but Karve sent an "items in your cart"  reminder AND mentioned something about AVAILABILITY. Horror. I'ld be denying my Sons their heirloom.

Resistance is Futile!
