missed buying opportunities


I just missed an Ebay deal on a Well Tempered turntable that I wish I would have bought, even though the auction ended at 4:00 A.M. and I couldn't stay awake that long! What's the one piece of gear you passed on that you regret the most?

The problem for me is not passing.....

Just bought a Marantz 2265B off of Ebay last night since the price was fair and came with a wood case. Need another receiver like I need a hole in my head (20).

Will it ever end.....
I went to Record Surplus in LA one day. I was not employed at the time. They had a copy of the CBS half-speed mastered Abraxas, as well as the Mobile Fidelity Allman Brothers Live album. I bought the Santana and passed on the Allmans. You can still see where the bullet exited my foot.
recently a $3K SME 10 hear on 'Gon.BVut come on we all have multiple "Damn!What was I thinking when I hesitated."Think my one regret selling was getting rid of my Mesa baron and not ignorring the companies advice against the tri-tube mod.Should have kept that and regret it more than the dozens of other pieces that have been through my system and their have been some doozies.

Strange you should ask at this juncture. I saw an advert right here on the 'Gon for a Pass 0.2 preamp within driving distance and at good price. I waited a little too long and found out an offer had already been received on it. Too bad, so sad. A couple of days later, as things turn out, I found an ARC Ref 2 Mk. II on my side of the border, within a shorter driving distance, from a fellow I had dealt with before, at a good price and in great condition. I bought it and saved nearly $600. in taxes. So you see, there is always another bus! BTW, don't buy on the rebound, I always wanted the line stage I bought so "tout est bien qui finit bien".
