Hey Guys,
Many of you have been posting about the various items you were lucky enough to grab while at York. Some of you may have seen some great deals but passed on them. Later during the show you regretted that decision and went back to get that great steal. But low the item(s) had been sold to the guy just ahead of you!!!!!!!! Then there is this pain that you have to endure as the customer lodes just what a great deal he just made!
So if you have a great story, please share it with us here as we'd all have made such mistakes while in the pursuit of our beloved trains.
Some years back, I saw a great deal on a round table that was what seemed to be in perfect working order. The seller wanted $200 for a 32" table that had a homemade assembly that controlled the operation of the table. Needless to say, It was quite dusty and needed some tender loving care. I passed on it only to realize that I made a major mistake. By the time I recalled where I had seen it and went back to the table in question, the unit had just sold a few minutes earlier. Needless to say I was bummed about that!
So what are your stories?
