what was the one thing you most regret ..............

[retrobikeguy]

.................not bidding on/missing on on ebay

Well , pray tell, I 'm sure like me you are all avid ebay watchers, putting stuff you absolutely want no matter what on your watchlist and then for some reason not winning, was it your 'unicorn', a vital part to finish the buildor just something you really wanted to say 'I owned that' or 'been there done that' and then pass it on for a profit .

come on do tell , give a why you wanted and a why you missed it

to get you all started heres mine

this is a one off proto GT psyclone with browning suspension................I know I will never get a chance at this ever again :cry: , reason I did'nt bid - my other unicorn, the bidding on the GT ended about 1 hour before a trimble that was in an uber poor sanded down state (hence I thought it would be a steal :roll: ) .........................it made a shocking $1250 :shock:.

the GT made about $365 :|

I hated myself for a while after that one got away, no - wait , I still do .

Im quite regretting a impulse ebay purchase i made last night. Saw the title, very quickly scanned the advert failing to read the big red writing, clicked buy it now and confirm.

on closer inspection its just a little broken....

Ive agreed to go ahead with the sale, hopefully it may be possible to internally shimmed and plug welded. Only time will tell.

bit of superglue and gaffa tape should sort that

Ditto that! I am now the 'proud' owner of a very broken, slightly dubious Cannondale.

Whoever said "Logging onto ebay after a few beers....." is dead right!

The Fisher Competition that Bike UK had in Brighton on sale for about 18 months or something before someone bought it. 6 speed Deore XT, U-brake, Tange Prestige frame. Reduced from like £1500 to £800. Grrr.

That said, a lot of things - if you really, really wanted them, you'd have bought them. The fact that you didn't meant that you probably didn't want them *that* much. Part of my theory of life (not yet peer reviewed) - stuff you really want to do, you do. If you find a reason not to do something, you don't really want to do it.
