Have you ever woke up to realize you were drunk bidding on coral?

Ha ha. At least you have an excuse!
Yea I'll definitely be using this as an excuse, still waiting for some other members stories to make me feel better about myself but on a serious note I should definitely try to cut back on the drinking it's not good for my 39 year old liver.

I might have to go to AA Acro Anonymous, I woke up this morning to empty beer cans and a highest bid that ends in 12 hours. Has anybody else bought expensive coral while intoxicated and didn’t remember the purchase till the morning?

Funny story. Had a long night out once and a guy that imports corals sent a message to our WhatsApp group. I ended up buying a 3 pack of cyphastrea and a baby hammer. I totally forgot about it. He texted me the next day and asked what time I was going meet up with him. I backtracked my conversation and was like............. But he threw in a cool green plate. Still regret it though.

Done some real dumb stuff drunk. Thinking back, its a act of god I'm still alive from some off the things I've done. I quit drinking all together 4 years ago.

Now my coral bids are legit! and I can mentally function on saturdays and sundays.

I didn't start getting hangovers until I was 33, around 36 I started getting the 2 day hangovers, I stopped drinking after that.

That's hilarious, I'm regretting mine even though the bidding ends in 10 hours so I might be in the clear fingers crossed. The frag looks like the size of a zoa head no lie and no returns if it dies just some Joe blow seller on eBay so I could be out $100.

Yup story's sound all too familiar but at least I'm not drinking and driving like when I was young but I really want to stop now because I enjoy running which drinking defeats the purpose of trying to be healthy but congrats on stopping that's awesome.

It’s an acro I’m assuming? The size of a zoa head? Wow. Good call on that drunk bid ;Hilarious

Well, let's see if we can turn this into a positive. If you win the bid, re-name it the Drunken Acro (a rare, one of a kind), and offer it back up for sale at twice the price! :eek:

Being that it’s the size of a zoa head, it’d take a very late Saturday night end time for another snag.

You can undo a eBay bid. I found this out after accidentally typing 222 for a $22 bid on wwc auctions. I was like... nooooo. Much more careful since then.

I can definitely relate to every word in this post. The 2 day hangers especially suck! Lol. Congrats on 4 years
