    Default What do you regret selling?

    I searched but I didn't find this topic, so if it has been beat to death please forgive me.

    As I troll through the "for sale" forum, I am reminded of the pre-ban Chinese underfolder AK-47 that I sold. I sold it to my buddy for a good hunk of change. A year or so after I sold it to him, I offered to buy it back. He got into some financial trouble and sold it on-line to someone. To this day, I regret selling that firearm.

    What do you regret selling? Firearm or something else?

    I sold the first AR I had ever bought for $400 in Aug. of '08. I had no choice at the time and could've probably found a better price but emergencies are called emergencies for a reason. Then of course Obongo gets elected and the gun world goes apeshit.... such is life right?

    Sometimes you have to make hard choices. Before my second deployment to Iraq, I almost sold my prestine classic mini cooper. When I told my kids I had some buyers lined-up they started crying. I am glad they did because if I would have sold it I know I would still be kicking myself in the ass.

    There's a lot I regret but fortunately selling a car or firearm isn't one of them. The two things that I can think of possibly regretting if I sold them are my first truck (1971 Chevy C/10, bought it when I was 15) and my first handgun. I don't get attached to stuff very easily though.

    Apple stock I bought for $12 a share and that's was two splits ago. At the time I was happy to sell it for $18.

    Ohh man, I'm so glad I'm not you.

    I would definitely regret that.
