What's the stupidist thing you've done with a collectable.

Action: In 1983. I had the chance to buy at the Columbus Gun Show a near mint 1916 LP-08 rig with all matching numbers for $3k. I was advised that it was worth about $2500 and I decided to pass on the purchase, hoping to find another one at a better price. Here I am 23 years later still without a near mint LP-08 rig for my collection. I was an idiot for not paying the $500 premium!!!

Reaction: When you find an item that you truly desire with condition, do not hesitate, even if you must pay a 10%-20% premium.

Happy hunting,
Albert
