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.

Very recently just missed out on a popori WR3 electrostat, the seller was overwhelmed with attention and didn’t see my text saying I wanted them!

I passed on a nice pair of Linn M-140 speakers for a real good price, and they were even close enough that I could have audition them first.

McIntosh MT-10 turntable. Someone here sold one for $1200 (it's $10k new) and I tried to negotiate a lower price. Super stupid of me. It haunts me to this day. 

Also, a second pair of McIntosh XRT28s. I have one pair, the local dealer had another pair for a reasonable price, but I just couldn't afford it at the time.
