The first thing that came to mind, oddly enough, was Blockbuster refusing to buy Netflix for the equivalent of a rat and a string to swing it with.
I really doubt that Netflix would be what it is today if they had gotten bought. Too much would change too soon.
In that case it may have prolonged the movie-rental paradigm by a few years allowing Blockbuster to dominate a bit longer.
