Are there any great jackets that you missed out on in ebay auctions or anywhere else that still come back to haunt you ? I've missed many but three that I particularly continue to kick myself over are a beautiful original squadron patched D-1 that was on ebay about five years ago. I was ready to snipe it when my computer crashed just before the auction ended. I didn't know about automated sniping back then. The second was a rare B-6 with an Aero civilian label. I didn't even bother to bid as I thought it would go too high. It sold for just over £200. Lastly was a mint B-15a that was finishing around the same time as a B-10 I was watching. I couldn't afford to bid on both. It went really cheaply but at least I got the B-10. I still lose sleep over those jackets. Anyone know the feeling ?
