I'd say mine has to be my Benaroya vinyl. I bought it off E-bay for about $230.00 right after it came out then I ended up reselling it for about the same price to buy my ex a tiffanys ring. In the end I lost the Vinyl, (most important of course) :) the girlfriend, and the ring. Haha I can't help but laugh at my stupidity now.

    I had a mobile that I got for free from a record shop. It was an advertisement for Vitalogy and it had all of the various album artwork images as the hanging panels...truly a one of a kind.

    I think I just gave it to someone because I was moving and did not know where to put it.

    Eh. Don't beat yourself up about it, it's just stuff & you didn't know it would turn out like that.

    I sold a bunch of my framed posters not too long ago because I was sitting at home thinking "you know, these are actually quite ugly." No regrets.

    I sold the complete 2000 and 2003 tours. That one stings. I also regret my decision to skip the Benaroya vinyl purchase when it came out. Dumbass move.

    Not an item, but back in 1993 i was about 15 and already big into the band, but hadn't started going to live shows yet. I had a great chance to go to this one but passed it up.

    Not that it was necessarily a great show...but would have loved to see the band in such a small arena at that stage in their careers.

    I had Ten Club tickets when Pearl Jam came here in 2000 (Chicago). I was like 13 years old and in a rap / hiphop phase, so I didnt care much for Pearl Jam anymore. I gave my 2 tickets to my sister's friends. My sister ended up getting 2 front row center tickets, and my tickets were 4th row center. She ended up drinking wine from Eddie's bottle during Crazy Mary!!! This is one of my major regrets since I became a fan once again!!
    A child's rhyme stuck in my head...
    It said "Life is nothing but a dream."
    I've spent so many years in question
    To find I'd known this all along.

    I traded a mint DC 06 that my friend got as an extra at the show and traded it for a mint Borgata pink...this all started when i began my obsession with posters
    now I could get Borgata pretty easily for half the price of what DC goes for...that's my biggest regret but the borgata will always be my prized possession now; it's the only PJ poster I have framed and I'll possibly get a tattoo of it

    i've also learned never to buy your woman anything of value until she's at the altar. it's a wasted investment.

    i kinda wish i'd not gotten rid of my 98 tour soccer jersey. but i never wore it. also sold all my fan club singles, cos i don't own a record player.
    and like that... he's gone.
