The one that got away =(

So, what is the item you wish you had bid more for, or something you've had a chance to get but never managed to secure? So basically your biggest regret from collecting.

I've just been wanting a Ryo on his Forklift from Shenmue (Sonic and Sega racing item) that went for ?45 on Ebay and I kind of regret not going in for it, as the seller said only 1000 were made! I'm a massive Shenmue fan, so doubt I'll see another one =(.

My biggest regret, I'm still not over it. Someone overbid me in the last second

ugh too many to mention....

My biggest regret is being an idiot and thinking that Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition was overpriced when I had the opportunity to pre-order it new... if I could send a message to my former self I would tell him to buy as many as he could afford

Probably the most regretted Assassins Creed 3 Special charity edition.Thought it was to exspensive at the time & now i kick myself. There have been a few others but,that one sticks in my mind. Especially knowing that one or two that were bought have since been split up & the contents sold off to the highest bidder,thats just wrong in so many ways

How do you know they were split up?

Have you seen just the chest up for auction?

So far,they have just sold the contents of the chest. As yet the chests themselves have not come up for sale. How do i know some have been split up,well I am not entirely at liberty to divulge as to how exactly i know or manage to find out these things as it may lead to me missing out on at least getting the chest

Considering the chest was the only unique item in the edition that's the only thing that really matters

The bag can be found elsewhere just not easily

Its mainly the smaller items that will be the problem. The AC 3 notebook,the bracelet,undamaged pewter figures etc. Larger items,not an issue at all

There's been a few items I've missed out on, but nothing I haven't come across again at a later date.

If it's something I have to have, I just bid high and hope it doesn't go that high.
