Biggest "I should've bought that" regret?

About 12 years ago, a Wal in Southside Music for about £300.  Still pains me to this day

Oly white and black 79 Strat, in Soundpad Barnstaple- circa 1991-2
Most playable lovely strat I have ever got my hands on, even the whammy stayed in tune
(Nostalgia may be tricking me though)
It was there for a couple of years, I went in to play it as often as I could and it took me most of that time to save up the 300 quid it was there for.

I didn't think about instalments, I was only about 14.

It went.

The same shop I bought my old PRS SE Soapbar from had an Ampeg AMG100 for similar money - a guitar of similar worth but much rarer and more interesting, and I wish I'd bought it when I had the chance because it was a good price and they're hard to come by.

There have been so many things I've seen on eBay and been desperate for but nothing I ever actually had the opportunity to buy. Same goes for shops - I've played a thousand amazing guitars that I'd have prostituted myself for but just didn't have the money. One particular '51 Nocaster relic at Coda comes to mind, and the couple of Blackmachine B6s I've played.

I turned down a 70s ebony Les Paul Custom and a JMP head and cab. I think he wanted 800 quid for it all but I thought i was OK with my Charvel and Valvestate 80. Doh!

Saw a Rickenbacker Suzanna Hoffs for £300 in the mid-1990s, still to this day I don't know why I didn't buy it...

I regret drinking four nights a week. If I'd have just done two, I probably would have not had as many money troubles and maybe bought some more items than I did in my twenties.

Ain't that the friggin' truth.  Alcohol purchases really takes a toll on the wallet!  Haha.
