Have you ever been relieved that a coin you wanted has been sold to someone else?

It just recently happened to me and has before.
Imagine a very cool coin that would be a highlight of your set becoming available for sale. The price is steep for what it is and expensive (for you) on top of it all. You hem-and-haw and check your collection to see what might be expendable to make the big purchase. By the time you have an action plan, the coin is no longer available. Phew, what a relief! Now, it is like the opportunity never existed.
We have all missed out on coins and regretted it. How often are you relieved that you miss out on a coin that you really wanted (and still do)?

That's not really very fair to RYK.

RYK - I can't say I agree with you. Missing out on a coin that I really wanted is never a relief whether or not the price is high or I have to sell some coins.
