Mine would be finding a an embossed large crown Canada Dry slider.
I was going through CL and kept seeing an ad for a WB-60 selecto matic and kept going by it for a couple weeks. One day I decided to take a look at it for the hell of it and there was a slider that had to go with it if you bought it. The westy wasn't much to look at but I zoomed in on the slider and saw the embossing.I contacted the seller and went to see it and I could see he was waiting for me to try to get him down on price and I handed him what he was asking and after loading the machines I explained I was after the slider and not the westy.
The slider is going in for paint after the Chicago show and should look a whole lot better than it does now.

I once walked right past a coin op and my wife caught it. She's was like "I think you're losing your touch. Look up." Felt happy and stupid at once.
Great story and congrats

I think you owe your wife a return trip to the coast to do what she wants to do! Great find--good luck on the bid.
