In a sudden rush of excitement, adrenaline, sufficient credit limit, an internet connection and the general itch to buy that elusive stuff for cheap, we sometimes do make blunders and goof-ups. Things aren't much different in the collecting community too as collectors, both newbs and veterans alike, do sometimes mess up.
This thread is to share those experiences - not for the purpose of being wary and careful in the future but to serve as a reminder that you are not the only one who has screwed up and hence feel somewhat relieved!

I changed the wording on your post and title because I didn't like the way you put it I often have buyers remorse when I buy stuff. Most recently I paid $7.50 for something that was worth about $2 value to me, and that bothered me and still bothers me. I feel like I flush money down the toilet sometimes, and for what reason...? How many times have I thrown $5 to $20 into something that I don't even really care about...?  |

^LOL. I knew it'd be controversial. Moar lolz on the edited title  I have buyers remorse too but it has never made me flinch when it comes to DB stuff. Makes me actually want more. Which brings to my very own moment. I immediately purchased the HG SP #4 when I saw it on YAJ for 500 JPY but now I fear that I only bought the series' flyer!!  Waiting for Buyee's response whether I've f'ed up or otherwise  |

Aaaand. if that wasn't enough, I get an email from Buyee yesterday notifying me that I won this:  I was just testing how the snipe bid feature works and I completely forgot to delete it.  |

story from when i was like, 16!!! and a terrible brat
okay i was bidding on this steep priced… you know what whatever i'm not gonna say it cause it was something dumb.. but lemme just say just cause something is plated gold doesn't mean it's worth a damn thing ^__^…
anyway so i was celebrating
"haaa what a steal i got this XDD!!11 MASTURRR SNIPER 1337", then out of nowhere, minutes right before the auction was about to end, this person comes in & outbids me. AW HAIL NO. i always consider being outbid a perosnal attack lmao. so we kept bidding back & forth obnoxious amounts until finally it was too high for me. i was soooooo angry and wanted revenge. so i bid again by one dollar so they'd have to pay a lil more by the time the auction ended LMAO. i mean i thought they'd bid again because it seemed like they really wanted the thing. they did. so i repeated this process about… four times until they stopped effing bidding & let me have the thing. seriously when it hit me they weren't going to bid again i died a little inside
lol
i got in biiiig trouble with my mom
[did any of that make sense? 48 hours w/o sleep holla goin strong]
