THIS IS WHERE THE SPARROW FEVER STARTED FOR ME. I RECEIVED MY GADGET UNIVERSE BY TOPIX CATALOG BACK IN 1999 AND NEW I WANTED ONE IMMEDIATELY. AT THE TIME, THEY WERE SELLING SPARROWS FOR $13,899.95 NOT INCLUDING TAX, LICENSE, INSURANCE OR DESTINATION CHARGES. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD OTHER TOYS IN THE HOPPER AT THE TIME.

THIS IS IT, MY FIRST SPARROW!!!
ON OCTOBER 17, 2002, I WON EBAY AUCTION #1870758503 FOR A 2000 RED AND FLAMED CORBIN SPARROW (#183) THAT WAS AUCTIONED BY CHILDRESS AUTOMALL OF PHOENIX, ARIZONA. THE AUCTION ENDED WHEN I AGREED TO BUY IT FOR $8500. IT HAD 589 MILES ON IT AS IT WAS A DEMO. THE CONTRACT WAS WRITTEN AND I SENT PAYMENT IN FULL.
FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, I TRIED TO GET INSURANCE, HOWEVER, I COULD NOT LOCATE AN AGENT WILLING TO COVER ME. I HAD TO BACK OUT OF THE DEAL AND ASK FOR MY MONEY BACK...I WAS SO CLOSE.
