If you find something you want, and its something hard to find, and you can
afford the price regardless of what it is, passing it by is a mistake.
Anything you want, and turn down at $100 you really must not want very much.

OTOH I have a whole host of things I would like to have, but only in the
course of the hunt, ie I have to dig it out of a box and haggle for it.
