[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 465259, member: 2"] A few I can think of: 1) Selling most of my original MOC collection in 2003. I had owned some of those MOCs since the early 90s and paid peanuts for them all, I sold them for peanuts too. The only one I have left is my 21 back Luke X-Wing. They were the closest thing I had to my childhood collection. 2) Selling the recovered figures which were stolen in 2007 and returned to me in 2013 (there are old threads about it if you're interested.) At the time I got them back I wasn't really in to collecting, and they had been tarnished by the theft. But with hindsight as there were only about 10, I should have kept them. One of them was a MOC I will likely never see again (PBP Luke Bespin.) 3) Not buying a carded 12 back Vinyl Cape Jawa for £750 in 2011. At the time loose ones were only about £150, and the card had ink touch ups so I passed. With loose ones going for well over a grand, I dread to think what it would be worth now! I used to buy and sell things on a whim, but these days I hardly ever sell anything unless I have upgraded it. [/QUOTE]
