Thought about buying a domain private,auctions whatever and for whatever reason you decided to pull out and some time later you see it being sold somewhere for a hell of a lot more..........?

My experience is the other way around i was just going to pull out of a snapnames auction at $249 but though i will give it one more go,anyhow i won at $284 and sold the domain on sedo 3 days later at 4250 euros just a couple of weeks back,the other bidder must of been pig sick and i was wondering if it's happened to any of you guys,touchwood it's not happened to me yet but no doubt it will sometime.

Yes.

Domain A, I offered to buy for 5600. I said wow, too high.

Domain A, sells for 28000 less than 6 months later at Sedo.

Domain A, I lost allot of money and realize I am dumber than a brick for missing that opportunity.

This has happened to me as well in the past.

Shit happens and it sucks, but remember that you didn't "lose" any money, you only missed an opportunity. There will be many more to come I'm sure.

According to Warren Buffett, he did well because most of his mistakes were sins of omission and not sins of commission.

Do you mean you pulled out and in the same auction it sold for a lot more? Hell yes, because it goes beyond my budget. I saw one, my budget was $200 (reasonable drop catch auction) and it went for over $5000 - the sad part is that it wasn't an end user and it is just parked (with poorly optimized keywords - like they don't care). Another time I dropped out (similar budget) and it went for over $1100.

Or- you see it cheap (TDNAM $5 clearance) and then a month later see it sell for $2500? I don't think so but when I decide not to get a domain I tend to forget about it - I guess it's a good way to avoid the "Shoulda-coulda-woulda" syndrome.
