The one(s) that got away....

Have any of you good folks had to pass up buying a gun that later upon reflection just tore you up with remorse? It has happened to me. Some years ago when money was tight, I had to pass up a lovely German commercial '98 Mauser sporter in 8mm with double set triggers because I did not have $75.00. I also did not buy a mint U.S. Johnson Automatic Rifle in .30-06 from WWII since $50 was beyond me. Finally, I missed out on a broomhandle Mauser pistol when I could not come up with $24.95 plus shipping. What got away from you good folks? All the best...

I passed on a pristine C-96 M30 with matching buttstock/hoster because I thought $350 was way too much. Now days, that pistol is worth 8-10 times that much. And I had a chance to buy a Reising machine gun for about $1900 only 5 years ago, and I didn't jump on it.
