We can only assume that all of us have made mistakes in collecting.
I know when I got into vinty figs, my concept of a reasonable price was off. Lingering around Ebay I found myself paying too much for something thinking it was one of a kind and I'll never see it again.
My very first purchase was a beaten up vintage loose R2-D2. I found it in a bin at a flea market. It was that little b*****d that got me into collecting. I hadn't seen a vintage Star Wars figure since I was a child and thought it must have been one of the last ones on the planet. I happily spent $15 on it. On average he's worth $4 in the same condition over here. Yeah I'm an idiot.
What were some of your purchase disasters.
