I just got home from a flea market where I left begind a 60's Lamperti italian plastic lamp. Got home, looked it up, and it's worth a fortune. I look at the time on the computer... it's 5:00. Market closed. Too late to go back. The guy wanted 45 bucks (Canadian) and I see it online for 185 US. Plus, It would have been great in the saucer house. WHY DIDN'T I BUY IT WHEN I SAW IT!!! Arrrggh!

I thought the seller was shady - all his other stuff was overpriced and some looked fake so I thought maybe this lamp wasn't as cool as I thought it was. I don't know. I must have had my brain addled from heatstroke from walking around all day.

How many times do I have to learn this stupid lesson?
