Same boat, used to work out with my wife's sister at Fitcorp in Boston. Oh, and 4 acres on Nantucket for.....400K, all buildable.

It was 15 years ago, I was 21. A friend of mine had a Luger with a holster and spare mag. Ar the time I was working part time and in school and didn’t have a ton of money. He told me to make him an offer and I didn’t want to insult him. I revisited awhile later when I was making more money and he had traded it for car parts. I don’t remember all the details but it was in excellent condition and I’m sure I could have had it for a great deal.

HK 91 is what I kick myself for not buying.

A Dutch DWM Luger P.06 I could have gotten on the low end of the price spectrum, just because I had bought a Conehammer C-96, an Artillery Luger and a Navy Luger the same day and was pretty cash strapped.
@Asaltweapon I'm still after a certain HK-41.

Few years back I was at kittery......they had a winchester 1887 lever action 12 gauge.....decent shape......price was about 800 bucks from what I remember.....it was like a week after Christmas and I'd just received a gorgeous belgian browning a5 from my wife. Always wanted (and still do) and 1887.......I walked around with it in my hand for about half hour......just couldn't pull the trigger on it so soon after Christmas lol.
Damned I wish I'd done it......you rarely see the 1887 up for sale.

Not a gun but,
A 1968 Camaro RS/SS ragtop, fully restored, everything was right except the engine was replaced. I had just gotten final payment on what was probably the best paying contract job I ever had. And I had the money sitting in the bank. I stood there at the World of Wheels show in Boston looking at it and the for sale sign for a good hour, but ultimately walked away. I know that was the right decision finantially, but it still hurt. That was/is my all time number one car, and I still want one.

I walked into Four Seasons to pick up a brand new S&W 686 for $299.
In one of the glass display cases was an HK SP89 for $1600, I couldn't understand how someone could spend so much on something like that.

Clown shoes are an acquired taste. Not everyone likes them.
Cars, mine was an Evo 8. I didn't want a $400 car payment so I said no. But then I ended up getting a car with a $440 car payment like 2 weeks later.
Guns. Nothing special. When I bought my Sig M18 it was a decision between that and a X5 legion.
I had enough money for the legion and decided poorly.
The M18 was gone a month later for my APX.
