Flower Power iMac on ebay US. Won for $150 with a postage estimate for a further $150.
Turns out postage was going to be $350 alone so we both said "stuff that!!!"
Also, missed out on a 1975 Ford Fairmont XB wagon a few years ago. Was a very rare banana blush colour, two-way electric tailgate, 4.9L V8 with 4 speed floor shift manual (special order in the day). The asking price was $3000 but I only had $1500 and limited storage space. Went to test drive it anyway and the old guy selling it was the original owner and it was in such good condition for its age I wasn't going to offend him with the $1500 cash (it was easily worth the 3k he was asking).
Turns out, someone from the car club I'm in bought it two weeks after I went to see it and bought it (stole it) from the old guy for $900 as apparently "only one other person came to see it." I regret not whipping out that $1500!
