<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 3719250, member: 74282"]I don't have any serious selling regrets so far largely because I force myself to spend a long time with the coin on my desk staring at me every day before I list anything for sale unless there are exigent circumstances (i.e. the <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/upgraded-an-old-favorite-but-there-were-some-tradeoffs.340238/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/upgraded-an-old-favorite-but-there-were-some-tradeoffs.340238/">recent thread</a> about upgrading my Pentagram Victoriatus where I needed money quickly and the new coin was a double die match to the old). If anything I regret not bidding higher and more aggressively on a handful of very special coins here and there. I keep a file with notes about who bought each of these coins and for how much and hope to get a second chance one of these days. In the past year I've bought less coins than in the preceding years but I've also added less coins to my regret list, having taken on a more aggressive bidding strategy on the truly special coins and trying to bid less aggressively on ultimately replaceable coins so I can save money for the ones that require crazy bids.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
