Throwing your gear under the bus

Have you ever had a piece of gear/wire that you knew was outstanding and then one day you decide to throw it under the bus only to find your self retrieving the same gear later down the road and wondering why you did such a thing?.

A full loom of JPS Aluminata wire was in my system only to be tossed under the bus because of upgradites. Now I am picking up the pieces and going back to what I knew was my last wire purchase.

Any gear thrower's here?
