Here is one I could kick myself for.
Back in the 1970's I was browsing around at "Acres of Books" in
Long Beach. I came across a book on Celestial Navigation in
German copyrighted around 1943. It had belonged to a German Naval
Officer. Had his signature, rank, his ship everything. In the
front cover it had a circular stamp inside was the Nazi eagle holding
a wreath with a swatika. The Price was $5.00. I had the $5.00, but
I didn't read German and thought the book would be of little value
learning navigation. Went home, thought about it, came back
the next day. It was gone!!
Best deal, though. I did buy a whole set ( minus Lat 30-35 ) of H.O. 214
for $40.00 a year or so ago. I already had the missing volume so now
I had a complete set.
