Lost opportunities

Post Reply New Topic

If you have lived long enough I guess everybody has them.

Apparently, when I was a kid in junior high school I had a million dollars in my hands and I threw it away. This item from the Slashdot site.

a new world record sale for a comic: an instance of Action Comics #1, 1938, sold for $1 million at auction. Both the buyer and the seller remain anonymous. This comic marked the first time a superhero went to work in a city, and the first time a man flew without mechanical aid.

Someone has too much money.

Of all the words of tongue or pen the saddest are "it might have been".-- anon.

Probably one of the reasons it's worth so much is that there aren't very many copies left, if any. All the things I had as a child that I took for granted and threw away are likely worth something now, because everyone else threw them away as well.

I heard a story who went to a garage sale and bought a painting for $10. The painting ended up being worth millions.
