Stuff you regret not buying

Reynolds Lights Emericas on hella clearance at my local. Decent shoes.

The multitude of skate videos on VHS that I put on the shelves when I worked at a used book store for 5 years.

An OG templeton New Deal complete, with the cat graphic. Had tracker magnesium trucks. Was for sale at said book store for 50 bucks. I am a fool.

Kinda unrelated but a 1989 Honda CRX a few months back for $1000. Spent a day thinking about it. Needless to say it sold before I called.

ya, I've passed on a couple of those and regret it every time. Dream car. Last year I missed a gen6 SI manual hatch with 120k for $2000. Really just want another gen5, stock hatch. Best car ever made. Last one I had I got with 49k on it for $2500 in 2013. Shit was tight til the quarter panels totally rotted away.

I had a Si coupe a while back. Regret selling.
Gen5 hatches are becoming rare af.
I’ve got a 91 Civic sedan I’m currently swapping a B18c into. Maybe we should do a post your whip thread?

I was going to buy 3 pairs of black air force 2s from ccs when they was in sale.

Definitely should have done that. After a slow start they broke in to be the best skate shoe I ever had.

Agreed, I think they skate better than dunks. I have 2 pairs left and I cherish them

Are you the dude that had an Arsenal, and, if so, could you post that picture of all of them again?

Not me

This is either majestic or completely psycho--no middle ground.

I had about twice that in classic Vans Half Cabs and maybe that again in Half Cab pro shoes, when they were cheap for me and I had access to lots of them.

Probably not quite the biggest issue as I know they still make them, but the quality has definitely gone down hill in the more recent ones and I do like the shape of the classic version with the taller toes, from back around early to mid 00s.

They have changed them up almost half a dozen times over the years, but the newer ones do fit a bit better if I go a size up nowdays which is ok to chill in but too big to skate in.

I think I am more of the psycho version when it comes to shoes.

I wish I'd bought a pair of those GnarHunter SB Blazer mids when they were in the local shop.
Indy 139 titaniums when they were on sale mid Covid.
C'est la vie I guess.

I was watching a couple Ray Barbee boards hoping they'd eventually go on sale since they were egg/footballish and those are usually slow sellers around here, but someone copped them before me. Really wanted this one:


Also, I missed out on some Busenitz anniversary version with boost sole, I would have loved to try them since the 3st.004 is my favorite shoe ever.

Still thinking about this deck:

I don‘t regret not buying stuff I regret not keeping stuff, in particular skate and band shirts I had.  :'(

I 2nd that with my early 2000's skate DVD'S. Traded them up for a new board because I was broke and needed a deck

[Ok]

A lifetime's supply of the Carroll Vans Half Cab's. Never skated better than in those. Now they only pop up from time to time in a terrible reflective colorway with Supreme collabo.

Goddamn. I had the whites, these are better. This totally ruins my day....fuck these are so sick. Re release these 🥵

Anti hero old yeller
Black label rat trap

in 2008 my life was a mess and I was going to join the Navy to figure it out. I decided punk rock and all that didn't work for me. Ended up filling up a contractor bag with skate shoes/shirts, band shirts, hoodies, some sick leather and army jackets, and dropped them in a goodwill bin. At least I kept my record collection
