Lesson Learned: Always Grab The Great Deal

[elfs]

Yesterday, while taking Kouryou-chan to dance class, I stopped by the local second-hand store and spotted on the shelf a Nesco coffee home-roaster. It was only $49, a third of the mail-order price. I was tempted-- I have been known to roast coffee at home, but in a primitive homebrewed tower roaster hacked out of an old popcorn popper. A home roaster would be awesome.

I didn't buy it.

I mentioned it to Omaha and she said I should have bought it, since I love good coffee that much. I went back this morning and, sadly, it was already gone. Damn.

One third price? It's a return with defects. You'd do better to Amazon one.

I've always just done small batches in a frying pan.

Good idea - thanks! I have been using a toaster oven, but it is hard to stir and agitate them to get even roasting.

BTDT.

I am, to this day, regretting not blowing 80% of my (then somewhat smaller) savings on a Victorian Gentleman's Reading Machine I spotted in an antique shop about 12 years ago. (By the time I'd discussed it with $SPOUSE and worked my courage up, it had gone.)

At least if you see one again at that price range you'll know what to do, right?
