Did you ever pass up an amazing find only to regret it later? (try not to get tears on your keyboard as you reply). -SDT |

If all is right I never, ever leave one sitting. Buyers keepers, thinkers weepers. |

There's this Maui Lu Luau Tiki Mug made by Daga that is not like the ones you see every day and it was listed on e-bay as a "Maui Lu face cup" I bid $10 just to be out bid at $10.50. I decided to wait till the last minute to bid again, and I was swimming with my kids and missed the closing by a couple minutes. Some guy got it for $10.50. I hate when that happens! |

A large tortoise shell for $50. I saw it at a junk shop (the only place I'll buy animal things and shells) but wasn't sure if the friend I was going to acquire it for would want to pay $50. He would've, and now "Is it another tortoise shell?" has become the qualifier for any object I contact him about that I'm not absolutely sure he'll want. |

OK, I'm completely embarrassed to admit yet another great find that I let slip away, but... a few years ago I went to an estate sale at a house that a friend was about to buy. In the basement I found two mugs for $1 each- no problem. But a few steps later I found two stools... as pictured on page 8 in Book of Tiki but without the cushion. I think they were $50 for the pair. For what ever reason, I passed... UGH! and yes, my wife still reminds me about once a month or so. |

Last weekend I went to the Moss Landing Antique fair and saw a huge tiki punch bowl from Harvey's. They had it marked 35 bucks, but since it was Harvey's I wasn't intitially interest (stupid me) and went back 10 minutes later to find out someone with a better eye grabbed it! I wish them the best, because I truly understand now. :) |
