Too many to mention here!!

I'm most frustrated when I walk up and the guy in front of me just bought something I would've bought on the spot, seconds before I walk up, and boasting how fortunate they are! That has happened to me more than once...

(its funny - I just had a dream last night of being in a thrift store and seeing somebody with a shopping cart full of records - boxed sets, LPs and 45s!! I kinda followed them around the store to hopefully catch a glimpse of what was in the cart. My subconscious rewarded me though as a store employee then brings out a fresh cart full of 45s and I'm first on that one - maybe I should do some shopping today, huh?)

But I will say I've also been very very lucky...sometimes buying gems for a steal, sometimes finding items late in the day and being totally shocked nobody bought before me, sometimes finding something in a second-hand store that obviously been in the store a long time.

It's all part of the "thrill of the hunt" as they say.
