Bargain Items you regret not purchasing

[paultap]

Hi Guys
I look back at certain items which have previously came up for sale which I have with hindsight, regretted not buying. For instance, I went to the UK knife show a few years back and a stall holder, an American guy, had a Buck Vanguard knife in its sheath, in what looked to be in unused condition, this was priced at £25 and they were going for about £75 to £80 new at the time. Thinking I had enough Knives, I put it down and walked off. About 10 seconds later, I quickly turned around and went immediately back to the stall to buy the knife, only to see another guy beat me to it and buy it!

I would be interested to hear of any similar stories you might have.

I think the Op asked what you failed to purchase? Not what you regret selling.

I had a holiday home in Cornwall for quite a while and furnished with local artists.
Really regret not buying a painting I saw in a gallery by Nicholas St John Rosse. Quite expensive and hummed for a day. Went back next day to buy it. Gone. Ever since if I am moved by something I buy it then

I have had many mk1& mk2 escorts but two very Special to me . A full on tarmac spec rally car it cost a fortune to build,and when I finished it we decided to get MARRIED . That’s the first part of my story. Second part . I had a Ford escort RS2000 That was imported from Johanasberg South Africa this was my every day car at the time .I will not tell you all what I sold the rally car for in case one of you call round to give me a good kicking (which I deserve) but I am very very inbarrest to say I swapped the RS for a pug 309 gti 2 door (WHAT A DICK HEAD)

Had an Escort mk2 RS 1600 sport…was young and stupid and let a shark buy the car for way too cheap!

Numerous motorcycles! And a Perkins P3 Ferguson tractor…should have kept it!

And shooting related - a Rizzini over and under 12 gauge that I shot pretty well with.

Regards,
Gixer

A 7 barreled nock volley gun that came up on a gun sales site for £275 which had been found in a loft , it had been on for 4 minutes .. I messaged straight away offering £250 but someone was already on their way to collect , I mentioned it to a well known rfd a couple of weeks after at which point he pulled out a Christies book which had it listed for 16.5k , I still cry about it now
