No huge selling regrets yet, but definatly had some buying regrets.

See something on ebay...
fancy it, put a bid in ...
but get out bid at the last moment ...
do a little research and go f*** so thats what they go for...
see another on ebay, but selling for alot more...
put in a bid ... oh crap did I really pay that much. Why did I do that. :?

Am glad i sold off nearly all my collection. I hated have all my collection in boxes not on display. Am now happy with the small collection i have. Finally going to get it down to living room in display cabinets

Regrets plenty. Wish i was a millionaire so i could have kept every piece I ever owned. Fact is in most collections things have to go to make room for new acquisitions.

Biggest regret was selling off my first EB Set a few years back and then paying way over the odds to get it back from the reluctant seller. I also heavily regretted selling off my MISB SW vehicle/playset collection but not as much as the EB Set. The regrets faded after about a year of selling the vehicles and playsets collection.

Since then i have upgraded to a better EB Set so the pain/regret has gone but at the time I sold of my EB Set that was the biggest collecting mistake i ever made. I didnt think it bothered me until I started looking through my collectors books.

I sold 109 vintage carded figures in 200ish plus loads of G1 Transformers. I invested it in drink, girls, strippers and a 10k BMW which I blew up 2 years later and got 1k scrap for it.

Sounds very much like my last year mate, bar the strippers :lol:

See you need the strippers too mate. They producemore memories per pound :wink:
