    Smile I almost bought it down there.

    "You are becoming a legend around here," he said with a chuckle. Next, they'll be writing songs about you."
    "Trust me, I wasn't all that heroic," I said. "I almost bought it down there." It sounded modest, but I meant it.
    What does "I almost bought it down there" means?
    Thanks in advance.
