True, and mistakes are opportunities to improve in the future. :)

Anyways, I'll share to you mine, which just happened recently. And I've already shared this to Anjo, Revan, Mika, and a few others from another wikia.

It all started when I went to an anime convention yesterday. Then there was a booth that displays anime figures owned by a group of collectors. When I came there around 9:30am, I saw a certain collector selling original anime scale figures, nendoroids, and figmas. I looked at them, and it didn't interest me until I found this: a Nakano Azusa nendoroid from Good Smile Company, which costs for only 800 PHP (around 17 USD). Why is it that cheap for an original nendo? Cuz it's actually a used one, but it's ORIGINAL AND STILL IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. And the price of a brand new one costs around x2. The collector even allowed me to open the box and try fitting in the parts as proof that it's really original. Anyways, I wanted to buy it, so I asked him to reserve it for me and come back to get it around 5pm (btw, I haven't paid to him yet). When I came back around 5:08pm, guess what happened... IT WAS ALREADY SOLD TO SOMEONE ELSE. After I found out about it, I was like "no, you can't be serious!" in my head. I was devastated cuz it was a really good deal for an original nendo. T_T It's really sad for me as a collector, but I can't do anything about it. And I was mostly at fault too.

So lesson learned for me: IT REALLY PAYS TO BE ON TIME.

Btw, I felt better after sharing this to the people mentioned earlier. Besides, there were some good sides too. One of which is that I didn't have to spend a chunk of money. And also, the collector lost the instruction manual (tho it's just a minor thing).
