The one that got away - regrets in collecting
Tell me about the lighter you almost bought but didn't and now regret. Mine was a 1940s Dunhill Table lighter for 8000 rupees. Thought it was too expensive. Now can't find one under 25000!

Dupont Ligne 2 in gold - seller was asking 20000 (worth 50000+). I didn't have the money that month. Biggest regret!
My grandfather's original Zippo - my cousin took it when given the choice. I picked a watch instead. The watch broke, the Zippo is still working!
1960s Ronson Varaflame in original box at Chor Bazaar. Went to get cash, came back and it was gone. Lesson learned - carry cash!
Limited edition Zippo I saw online for retail price, thought I'd wait for salary day. Sold out. Now they sell for 3x on resale.
A complete IMCO collection at an estate sale - all 12 models for 15000. Hesitated for a day, someone else grabbed it. Still hurts!
