hi everybody,
i thought i would start a new topic.the stuff we passed on and now regret. a long time back i was at a flea market and a guy pulled out a die cut sign in the shape of a raja advertising raja motor oil. it was priced at 165.00. at the time that was a chunck of money for a kid..i think i was 19 at the time....any how i wanted it but passed on it and another guy came along and scooped it up and was as happy as can be. i think he later sold it for 3 or 4 hundred bucks. yikes imagine what that is worth now days..... lets hear some sob stories. steve

This is gonna hurt!
Bell Regular, single lens on orange capco for $160.
Richfield Premium on blue capco for $250.
Wayne 60 for $150.
Utility on gill for $750.
Any of the good stuff I passed on so I could buy more cheap stuff.
