A few years back in the early days of eBay I watched an original Mai Kai decanter from opening to closing at $9.99 with no bids - not even mine! I was waiting to the last minute to snipe it when I somewhere along the line I got distracted and missed the auctions end and it closed with NO BIDDERS. Another bonehead moment was a visit to an antique mall a few years ago. I came across the CocoJoe's wallplaque of a Maiden kneeling down and making an offering to a tiki. It was only something like $17.00. Since it was the first stop of my afternoon I decided to wait and see if I would find anything else first before I'd snag it. After a long afternoon of antiquing I forgot about it. When I remembered, it was something like 5 or 6 days later. I returned the shop only to find it had been sold! AAARRRGGHH!
