Tell me about it! I've once burned myself my making a ridiculously low  
(but still, a lot of money) offer
on a very expensive item, fully expecting it to not be accepted. Next  
thing I know, it's accepted!
Oops! (I sort of had the money, but should have really applied it to  
something else. the closest I've ever come to buyer's remorse...)

I must say, in my journey of Zuikoholism, I've kept things low and  
simple, my most extravagant
OM posession is the 90/2.0 Macro which I got for like $600. And not a  
single item has caused buyer's
remorse, they all offer me so much more than what they cost.

P.S. Looking forward to when you start selling some of the hard-to- 
find flash doodads, like the
triple connector...
