I bought that at TRPS last year, owned it for all of two hours before trading it straight-up to a friend for a Whale Bone Grove Standard, because I had already lined up a trade: a WBG for my top ISO.blazedoutbee wrote:
In retrospect, I should have gone home and eBayed the TRPS deal, bought another WBG, traded for the ISO and kept the extra $300!
No regrets on that one, though. I got mine, the ISO provider got theirs, and my friend, who was late to TRPS, got the show print. Win-win-win situation.

also sold Hope for $599 just because I got nervous in April when Hilary started to gain momentum(for like a month 
)...
but held on to Progress
but it kills me that Hope goes for just as much and even more because the public knows that image more

Probably this guy . . .
I regret selling it because I really liked it. I only got rid of it to fund my first and only Sheppard original though. It was definitely worth it I just wish I could have sold something else at the time instead.

I gave this actually as a gift to my brother, and framed it... but I really liked it a lot but it matched his home color scheme perfectly. I'm not too bummed out though, I can always rebuy this print from a user selling it.
My biggest regret at the moment is recently sending a free test print along with a regular print to a user. I took so long to ship a print the user wanted and to make up for the long time it took me, I included a Burlesque test print. Not my favorite test print, but still a unique piece I gave up. It's out of good heart though because the user is a good guy and he deserves it for all the good deals he's always made for me. But I do regret it a bit, but of well

Thankfully, there aren't many. And most of those, I've managed to re-obtain in some way, shape, or form. One of the few remaining is actually on the way to me at the moment... the Tara/MMM Rapture collaboration Actually a bit harder than you'd expect it to be, especially to get one without a coffee stain on it as Michael told me once that a nice stack of 'em had a cup spilled on a whole corner area (if I'm remembering it right)...

I also framed that and gave it away. Housewarming gift.DavidaLoca wrote:

Come on EB, how many more of your deep regrets can I have casually dismissed? Line 'em up!

strangely, some of the higher end prints I've sold in the past year i don't regret selling as they went to members here who REALLY wanted them badly. It helps when you know they are going to an appreciative home.mistersmith wrote:No regrets on that one, though.
