The one that got away

Is there any gear you had the chance to buy and regretted not buying? Some years back I was offered a Marantz 10b tuner for $600 and passed on it.

Sansui AU 717/ TU 717, JBL L-166 Horizons, Philips AF-877 with a Shure V15 Type V. I don't miss my Ex, but I sure miss that system.

They were $5000 new but I thought I could do better by waiting. It was just before Covid. A new one now is $8500.
