Selling/Purchasing Regrets
I know we all have selling/purchasing regrets in our lives... What are yours?
My #1 Regret is selling Doom on Throne PF Ex. for face value upon initial release.  , but at least I know it went to a good home!

That would have been a sweet flip. The majority of my flips funded me buying more stuff. I might regret selling certain pieces but nothing that makes me lose any sleep.

I still regret selling my full run of the Adam Hughes Sideshow Maquette's. I got almost 4 times what I paid for them but still miss them.
I recently purchased a replacement Mary Jane AP. Probably the only one I will spend money replacing unless a super good deal comes my way on another one.

Biggest Regret selling was my Alien queen dio and my Iron Spidey Ex...made some $$$ to purchase other Staues and stuff so it's not so bad...
Biggest Regret was NOT purchasing the Hulk vs Spiderman dio...it was in my hand 20% off Retail at my local shop when it first came out(box was beat up a little, statue was perfect)....but I hated how small Spidey was ...was just getting into collecting at that time..boy I really regretted that one a few months later.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Biggest regret was selling my Gambit PF and Mystique Comiquette as I was on and off in statue collecting before.

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

I regret reading that. lol ...that sucks, man.
I regret selling my Bowen Kingpin for a couple hundred dollars a couple years back. Now I have to pay up if I want one.
I regret not buying the GG Ghost Rider on Bike when it was easy to find for a decent price.
I also regret not buying the P1 Storm Shadow when it was up for order.
...not too bad, so far.

I regret not pre ordering this Mortal Treason shirt almost 12 years ago.
The band broke up shortly after and never made more merch. I could have had the hoodie or shirt!!

I regret buying too much PCS stuff, mainly because they killed the aftermarket with BS Sellouts and hype, finding piles of "sold out" statues years after release. I still really love some of the pieces but it's a shame what big J did to the brand.

On the second thought I do have a regret. I regret not holding on to my Hulk Vs Spidey dio. It goes for big bucks now. I can't really complain because I literally murdered people on ebay selling Bowen stuff back in the day.
