What is the one item you regret not buying for your collection?

I regret not buying an original 1989 Batman action figure. I found it at a flea market for 40, but I didnt think it was worth much. Now, mint ones are worth hundreds!

I regret passing on an early edition of The Hobbit when I was at an antique store. The condition was amazing, and it was only 50. I thought I could get it later, but it sold the next day.

My biggest regret was not grabbing a rare vintage comic book at a convention years ago. It was a first appearance of Spider-Man, and it was priced at just 25. I didnt have the cash at the time, and Ive never seen it again.

It wasnt just one item, but a whole collection of action figures from the original Star Wars trilogy. They were being sold in a bulk lot at a yard sale, and I didnt jump on it. The seller was asking 200 for the whole box, and now those figures are worth so much more individually.

I passed on a limited-edition LEGO set of the Millennium Falcon. It was a few years ago, and at the time, I thought it was just too expensive. But now theyre going for double the price on eBay. I cant believe I didnt buy it.

I regret not buying a vintage Nintendo NES when I found one in a thrift store. It was complete with controllers and some games, but I wasnt sure if it was working. Now, when I find them, theyre always missing parts or ridiculously overpriced.

There was this rare vinyl record I saw at a record shop a few years ago. It was the first pressing of The Beatles' White Album, and it was in near-mint condition. The price was reasonable, but I hesitated, and someone else snatched it up. Ive never seen another one like it since.

One regret I have is not buying an old-school arcade cabinet. I used to go to this retro gaming store that had a Street Fighter II cabinet, and they were selling it for 500. I kept saying I'd come back for it, and then one day, it was gone. Those are worth so much more now.

Its crazy, but I regret not buying a custom-painted Star Wars figure I found on Etsy a while ago. The artist had done a really detailed version of Darth Vader with extra accessories, but I didnt think I needed it. Now theyre out of stock, and I still think about it every time I look at my collection.

I had the chance to buy a rare signed copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone from a local bookshop. The price was higher than what I expected, but I didnt know how valuable signed books could get. Now, I cant even find signed copies for less than 1000!
