: shaun: like you, I am a hesitant seller and I
: usually give it a lot of thought before I
: sell. so thinking back, I can't recall any
: sale that I now regret.

: the regrets are all on the "failure to
: buy" side of the equation. I can think
: of a few that "got away", which
: could have been mine for the sake of a few
: extra dollars or a little better luck on the
: timing. A Chronomatic "Siffert"
: and a Chronomatic Monaco come to mind -- one
: "lost" for the sake of $200, the
: other lost because I was delayed in checking
: my e-mail. these were also in my early days
: of collecting, before I realized the true
: scarcity of these two pieces.

: I should add that there is one piece (shown
: below) that I sold, then repurchased, but
: that was initiated by the gentleman who
: bought it from me, who needed his cash back
: to fund another purchase. That was lucky for
: me, as this is one of the rarest ones in my
: collection.

: so in the end, no regrets on the "sell
: side" of the house.

: interesting ideas in your message . . . also
: interesting (??) that so few of our readers
: discuss selling . . . the "unspeakable
: act".
