Don't worry, they show up regularly. Every decade or so.
I've just got to be a bit more aggressive in going for the interesting ones, like Hendrik said. I'm learning that the expression is "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is," not "it definitely is." Sometimes you get a chance like Kaleb's $2000 E420 or whatever it is. Another example: A few weeks ago, I saw a 20' Airstream trailer for sale in someone's front yard on my way to work. Never got around to stopping and looking at it. After a couple of weeks, they posted it on Craigslist, asking $2,500. (I could tell it was the same one by the location. According to the ad the insides needed to be gutted and rebuilt, but the structure and utility hookups were sound.) Disappeared in a day once the ad was online. I should've snapped that one up and just put it in the pasture until I had time to do something with it, but I didn't and am now kicking myself.
