Usually that phrase is indicative as the seller accepted an amount and pulled
the listing...

Trust me...I have seen items listed on ebay sites worldwide, made an offer and
the items ended...

Some years ago I got offered one and didn’t buy it for something like €1200

But this sounds a bit expensive…

One went here for around $8-12,000 some years back.

I probably would have bought the 1200 euro one...

Yup, woulda, shoulda, coulda…….

  

In Dutch the saying is: Als hadden komt is hebben te laat.
(If should comes having is to late)

“When ‘should have’ comes, ‘have’ is too late.” ?

I like the Dutch phrasing, it's different.

How about...

Tu dormis, tu perdis
(It sounds better in English with the contemporary “snooze”)

Or you could dive back to Cato’s proverb “He who hesitates is lost”

This is a bit to harsh, “is lost”, the Dutch should have done something is a
bit nicer in my mind

You can almost buy a Grangemouth brick for that.
Most recent prices are crazy!
