Any regrets in selling gear?

THIS HOBBY is my passion ! I buy and sell all the time ! I look for rare and vintage one offs that are very hard to come by...... That being said I have a honey hole of rare and valuable grear . I have had many regrets selling this stuff, esspecialy shipping it ! I take ALL THE RISK, EVEN WHEN YOU ENSURE IT ! THE BIGGEST rip off is with Vintage , rare hard to find custom amps ! PART PRIATES ! steal hard to come by components and send you back the componets missing key parts ! I have a huge grave yard of items sold and returned missing key eliment parts ! it is quite a scam , All at my expence ! i have thought about quitting but I am soooooo deep into it ! It sucks that the few who mis represent our hobby stoup to those lows and tacticks ! i don't know how to stop ! I have a small fortune wraped up into this gear that to most is just non working junk NOW ! God Help me ! 

I have had three sets of AR3a's and two sets of JBL L100's that I regret selling.  I have zero of either now, and wish I had somehow held on to a set of each.  I have managed to collect a set of AR6's, AR4x's, AR12's, AR2ax's and several other vintage speakers.

For a while I had tried to set up a vintage system in one room and a more advanced, non-vintage, system in my main listening room.  Now both systems are probably more vintage than new.  But in wanting more items, I stupidly sold some items I wish I hadn't.     

Original 15 ohm Rogers LS 3/5a. Purchased for $495 in 1977.  Sold for around $2k in 1995 to help start a business.   Worked out well with th business, but still miss the speakers.

Around the same time, sold a Marantz 8b for $225 as I headed off to college because a dorm room is no place for a tube amp. Should have just put it in parents closet until I graduated.

the pair- the 8b into the LS3/5a - was magical.

I don’t truly regret anything I’ve sold because I simply had to.

But I do get quite wistful about my MBL 121 omnis.

I owned them for about 10 years and nothing else sounds like them.

I also Sometimes would like to listen to a pair of waveform Mach MC

Monitors that I sold.  They were such a A beautiful balance of monitor like

Frequency response, yet warm toned and completely disappeared.

I regret selling my pair of teak 15 ohm 1986 Rogers LS3/5a’s, my Naim NAP 135 monoblocks, and my Classe DR3 VHC. Other than that I’m content with the audio gear I presently own. 👍
