My biggest cel regrets were passing up on several saitou ebay and YJ auctions particularly the ones where he's a Shinsengumi... I know where most of them are at and I guess I'm happy they're in good hands at those people who's gallery I love to visit.

Also I'm still kicking myself for not seeing the Saitou Seisouhen in Anime-Link. Ah but I guess I wasn't into collecting at that time... Now I just look at the picture and wonder where it's at... The reason I regret it is I have no idea where it's at, while the rest (mentioned above) I at least know where they went (to good homes). :D

I tend to have a lot of regrets because I'm constantly checking myself...do I really want this item? Shouldn't I wait for something better? There's also the oblivious part of my personality. For example, a couple weeks ago, I spotted a couple auctions of sketches from a new show that I've taken interest in. I bookmarked them before going to sleep, taking for granted that they would still be up the next day. Turns out they were one day auctions! At least I won't know if I truly regret missing them until I figure out if I truly like the show enough....

Several months ago, I decided not to try for a set that included a couple rough sketches of one of my favorite characters from the My HiME/Otome universe. I haven't seen any of her since. What was I thinking??

Some other regrets: a Tasuki attack pan cel, almost perfect cel & douga of Gally (way out of my range), the first Honey & Clover set I ever saw, a set of Rozen Maiden from my favorite episode (I knew the winning bidder as being virtually impossible to beat), missed auctions from shows I hadn't seen yet, etcetera, etcetera.

But hey, I've gotten plenty, too...including a number of pleasant surprises that I initially thought would exceed my max. No regrets from this morning: I finally won something from a show I'd missed several auctions from. :D
