What's you biggest sales cock-up?

[Cover-up]

I'm always curious what records people have sold, only to realise that they have, perhaps, spectacularly goofed up...

I don't mean "20 years ago I sold Purple Mundi for a tenner and now it's worth £500" - more, you list a record for sale, sell it after two minutes and are then deluged with 100s of messages for weeks and months after and think "hmmm, I think I might have messed up slightly there!"

Apologies if this opens old festering wounds, I'm sure it'll be cathartic in the long run...

About 7/8 years ago i gave a load of re-issues and boots away to a local charity shop, Does that count, now that i have seen what they can fetch on EvilBay.

[Cover-up]

No, that doesn't count, that's retrospective regret... 

 

I'm talking about IMMEDIATE regret, phone constantly ringing, 300 un-checked emails, 200 PMs!

About every time I sell one from my collection.

Before: 'Ah, I never play this one anymore and look at what people are paying for it. Why not?

After: 'Why? why? why did I do that? I miss you baby!'

On the buying side, I thought I could outwait a seller he wanted £80.00 for a Baby reconsider, I only wanted to pay £60, what was I thinking about. Refusing to buy a Nolan Chance on Bunky for $200.00. Selling (some years ago) 3 copies of Trends - Thanks for a little loving £300.00 each. Hey-Ho

I really don't know where to start but a mint Nathen Williams on Lime for £60 wasn't my finest hour even if i had only paid $2 for it. After I promised it to the buyer I got endless emails etc. aking if i was mad?, wtf there has ever been much doubt about that.
