the first thing that comes to mind: near mint 1964 blackface Fender Princeton - FREE
second item: late 50s tweed Fender Harvard - $70
both are long since gone.
talk about seller's remorse!
there are other items, but i don't want to get suicidal here.

i got nuthin. the closest i've come was about a year ago, my girl called me and said 'there's a big old reel to reel sitting outside on the sidewalk behind berklee.' i promptly left work and grabbed the bus over there. sure enough there's an otari mtr-10(?) 2 track sitting right there. massive thing. i try lifting it and figure that if i bribe a cabbie the two of us could get it into a van cab and get it home. and sure enough there's a van cab at the cab stand right down the street. so i am in business! and then i realize that all of the electronics are missing, there's no cards or anything. oh well.
