The Rouille WE on Diabro that was like 850 or something crazily cheap like that. It was there for a few days, finally decided to get it and it was gone. Why oh why was I so unsure, lol!
 
A never used 2006 black First for a fantastic price, but then the following week i offered a seller $600 for a 2005 black First and was shocked when she accepted, was totally authentic too, needed a bit of TLC but nothing major. When i left feedback i noticed she had just sold an Ink Day for $470 :wtf: she said it got snapped up 5 mins after she listed it, still haunts me i didn't notice it first!

Others that still haunt me are ones listed for a bargain but didn't have the funds at the time: an emerald courier, and a rouille courier, a 2005 black city, a 2005 black Day hobo.
 
Me and my DH had a 20 min wait for dinner so we were walking along Burlingame Ave- I stumbled upon a consignment shop with a mint Dolma Day for $675...I decided to come back after dinner and:drinkup:-BIG MISTAKE! By the time we were done the store was :closed:....the following day that gorgeous 05'Dolma Day was on hold for someone else :crybaby:I told myself that it was just not meant to be but it still haunts me:push:
 
Oh my goodness, how funny! Why did you sell her???? She WAS beautiful!

I needed the money, but same old story you sell a bag and only to then buy another one, in my case a Steel Day Hobo, the price on Diabro was too good to pass, but i wish i'd just kept that Purse the grey was perfect and went with anything, much more comfortable to use than the Day Hobo as well.
 
I saw a mini bowling in red (rouge vif?), a bag I realllllly wanted, on Ebay w/ a BIN for $980 or best offer. I had it authenticated here and then made an offer for $800. Before I even get a response, the bag was no longer available (not sold according to the auction). Seller then responds to my offer saying thanks but the bag has been sold, so I assumed it was sold outside of Ebay. She then relists it. I asked what happened, and she said the buyer changed her mind. So being stubborn that I was, I didn't want to make another offer. She relisted it for the same BIN or best offer. As the end date came closer, she lowered the price twice (there were no offers for days). And then at last it sold for a best offer of $650!! I was shocked! She didn't accept my $800 during the first listing but accepts $650! Now I have to save up for one retailing for $1075 :crybaby:
 
I think I tried to block this one:

I passed on a gorgeous 05 Magenta City from the sweetest PFer in April based on the grounds that I would rather have a BNWT 07 LE Magenta City in July :push:

sigh --- since then I have passed on oh, six or seven mint Magentas. I thought I finally found the one to keep, so I cancelled my LE. But that didn't work out.

and now my LE is cancelled :crybaby:

[sob]
[sob]

I keep hope alive though that some Angel will find me the Magenta of my dreams:angel:
 
04 rose twiggy on Ebay last year. It had a small pen mark on it and I was umming and awwing about it because of the mark and when I checked the next morning, it had gone. I could have kicked myself.
 
05 indigo at barneys. this was when i first discovered balenciagas and really really wanted one. but back then i couldn't justify the price. i was looking at the bags and i think someone had just returned it and the SA offered it to me but in the end, i really couldn't do it. maybe that's why i'm so obsessed now. ;)
i really wish i had gotten it but i know now that it's one of those things that weren't meant to be and i had made the right decision at that time..
 
An '05 Teal City from a fellow PFer. I was hemming and hawwing whether or not the color was really "me".....the auction ended with no bidders and I waited to see whether it will be re-listed because I finally made up my mind to get it and it never did. It's just as well, I fell in love with the '03 Denim Blue City and am waiting for that to pop up somewhere (if ever!):sad:

i lost that one too!!!! it must be the same one! did it have a bin? i was doing the BIN when all of a sudden , it was gone! someone hit the BIN at the same time i did, but they were faster! i never lost a bag like that before, after i already hit the BIN button i mean. it was freaky!
