1"experience of being able to buy" -- I cannot understand what that means. You should also do the formatting more neatly. What is `v.。。。`? It just looks like garbage. You also have `ｄきます`. – Feb 11 '12 at 03:37

2It is rather difficult to understand your question. Please edit the question to explain "ｖ．。。。ことが。。。。。" and "ｄきます". – Flaw Feb 11 '12 at 04:36

I think I vaguely know what you're trying to find out. You should be looking for:
- ～ことがある
It literally means something like "to have (the experience of) ~"
Verbs:
Present: 走ることがある - "There are times that (I) run"
Past: 走ったことがある - "There was a time when (I) ran"
い-Adjectives:
Present: 高いことがある - "There are times when (something) is expensive"
Past: 高かったことがある - "There was a time when (something) was expensive"
な-Adjectives:
Present: 静かなことがある - "There are times when (something) is quiet"
Past: 静かだったことがある - "There was a time when (something) was quiet"
Note that ~ことがある is structurally ambiguous between being an appositive clause and a relative clause.
