12. It happens.

We just can't know everything and sometimes things fall through the cracks. That's exactly what happens in our favor sometimes as well.

My best sale was so ridiculously lucky and had nothing to do with knowledge or research and they weren't even old or 'cool' or anything. It was 7 knitting machines for $3 at the very end of a long auction. I knew nothing about them at all but it looked like a value to me. IIRC there was even other stuff on the table thrown in! I don't remember how much the total was but I do remember one sold for $900 and another sold for only $250 as I accidentally put it as 'buy it now' instead of auction. By the time I realized my mistake, it was sold!

Happy hunting!
