My biggest mistake so far was getting into a bidding war over a Parker during an online auction. I seriously regret winning that war.

I've been giving this some more thought and the mistakes I've made include but are not limited to:

1) Paid way too much.
2) Sold for way too little.
3) Sold guns I should never have parted with.
4) Bought guns I should have run away from.
5) Poured way more money into restorations than any reasonable person would dream of.

I have to believe that if everyone of us gave it much thought, our list would be pretty darn close to this one.

I don't think I've paid way way to much for any as a couple of my friends say I'm way to cheap for that
