What are the biggest bargains you have LOST?

After 5 or 6 flea markets here I can say that Helios 44, Revue, Weltblick and all kind old folders and analog compact cameras are very common here in my city. Once I saw a Leica RF with a tele lens in "useable" condition for 350€ but except that the Biotar was the only interesting item found so far. The prices for the lenses like Helios 44 are often higher than on Ebay.

Not a super deal but i just lost a Super Takumar 35 f/2 for 75 euros with pentax adapter and filter. I didn't need the two additions though.
The seller told me he closed the deal an hour ago.
