How many of you have failed to buy something that you want?

Like a console, game or other stuff?

Way back, I didn't manage to get Mega Man X 3 and Chrono Trigger for Christmas because they'd fly off the shelves. In retrospect it was at least half of a good thing, as vanilla X 3 is pretty bad.

Could never buy a Gameboy Color — there was always someone outbidding me for it >.<

The Handy Boy attachment for Game Boy. I used to own one as a teenybopper but lost it in a move.

Awe! If it wuz' me, I wouldn't out bid you! I'd be like, "It's yours!"

Haha, thanks.

At least I got one back by nuking the auction for an NES with seconds to go — Sniper Sam at her finest xD

Never really had spending money as a kid so never really bought stuff.

Nowadays, when I fail to buy something, it's usually out of my own indecisiviness lol. "Do I reeeeally need another PS2 console?" "Do I reeeeeally need to buy this game even though I could download it?" "How about this tiny CRT- oh shoot, it's already gone!"
Worst example of this was when I saw a Dreamcast at a Value Village like 5 years ago, thinking I didn't need a 2nd one, but then someone else got it mid-thought. That was an A+ failure right there haha!

I'm still on Yakuza 0, I couldn't get 3 Remastered before it was doomed to the $120 paywall mines

When I was younger I really wanted this copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 that someone was selling on eBay.

...it was £15000 though, so I had to give it a miss.

I always wanted a Saturn when they first came out but ended up getting a Playstation instead when Final Fantasy 7 came out. I did eventually buy a Saturn last year.

It's not like I can even if I wanted to.
