I passed on a vintage concert poster from the 1970s, featuring The Rolling Stones. It was in good condition, and the price was reasonable, but I didnt know much about the poster market at the time. Now I regret not grabbing itit wouldve been worth a lot today.

I had the opportunity to buy an old, limited edition Super Mario plush doll when I was at a collector's shop. I was looking for something more functional, like a video game or figurine, but now I cant find anything like it anywhere.

My regret is not buying a set of limited-edition Star Wars movie posters when they were re-released. I was a kid at the time and couldnt afford them, but now those posters are worth a small fortune, and I still see them pop up in auctions occasionally.

I let a set of rare trading cards slip through my fingers years ago. They were from an obscure 90s show, but I just couldnt see the value at the time. Now, theyre one of the most sought-after collectors items for fans of that show.

I was at a garage sale and found an antique clock that had been in the family of a local celebrity. I thought it looked nice but didnt know its true value. I passed on it, and later I heard it was worth a few thousand dollars at auction.

I shouldve bought a limited-edition Simpsons watch from the 90s when I saw it at a convention. It wasnt too expensive back then, but I didnt think Id wear it. Now, they are rare and priced way higher than what it was listed for.

A few years ago, I found an old, vintage video game console in perfect condition at a yard sale. It was a Sega Genesis, and it had all the original games. I didnt buy it because I thought it was too old-fashioned. Now, when I see them, theyre way overpriced.

I passed on a rare Funko Pop! figurine I found in a small shop in my town. It was a limited-edition version of The Joker from The Dark Knight, and it was only 30. Now, its a hard-to-find piece and worth several hundred dollars.

Ill never forget the time I found a 1980s Star Wars lunchbox with the thermos intact at a thrift store. It was in decent condition, and I could have grabbed it for 10. I didnt realize how popular those were at the time, and I regret it every time I see one on eBay.
