Truck when I first started on ebay I had no idea what sniping was and would just try to beat the current bid. It's a learning curve to beat out the other bidders.. No shame in that. I guess you could compare it to an old cowhand watching a drunk try to ride a mechanical bull in a Texas Roadhouse. Funny to the cowpoke, not so much to the drunk.

I enjoy ebay immensely. In addition to many fine knives i have also paid very little for excellent condition older Filson & Pendleton wool jackets. Well truth is i got into collecting vintage USA wool hunting/work jackets.

I agree kj! It's the thrill of hunt that is so alluring. Sometimes I feel almost as good after I lose an auction as I do when I win one. Btw you are definitely in the proper clime for wool wear!

Wool is perfect in the Pacific NorthWest both for outside wear and inside. I wear wool boxers and t-shirt and light weight wool pants around the house and i'm comfortable with heat set at 17c during the day and 14c at night.
For well over 100 years Pendleton Woolen Mills, Filson & Johnson Woolen Mills have been making high quality wool outer wear. If properly looked after these garments easily last a lifetime. And, wool for hunting: silent and no odor: perfect !

Calvin if your son is about the same size, your Filson coat will be his one day, so you best not spill your spaghetti & wine on it.
