Have You Ever Suffered With Sellers Or Buyers Remorse ?

Yup.

View attachment 47545

I sold this Burny when I moved cross country back in 2018. Ended up tracking down the buyer and bought it back last year. Just a killer player that will be staying for good.

I also sold a 96 Dual Rectifier and a mint Studio Preamp when I was broke in college. I wasn’t able to track down the originals but replaced both with units from the same era last year.
I thought we were gonna be having a conversation about the "live laugh love" pillow.

I kid, I kid :beer

Seller's remorse -- not really. I mean, there are things I wish I had now but when I think about when/why I sold them it totally made sense and was worth it. And nothing has ever been irreplaceable.

Buyer's remorse. I don't even know where to begin on this one.

Regrets?
just a couple.

First is my engl 4x12. I was tired of moving that beast around but I'd love to have that cab back. I'd swap the v30 for greenbacks and use it for the right gigs and at home.
When I sold the cab I had a much smaller house, smaller car and I was experimenting with full digital rigs.
I had good reasons but selling was a mistake, even more so now, with today's crazy prices.

Second is another Engl product, a Powerball II with the full featured pedal.
I really loved that amp and still miss it even if I know that I won't use it that much, because marshall is my go to sound.
But it was keeper, is the kind of amp you should keep with you while waiting for the right band where to make it shine.
 
I've forgot my only one buyer remorse. Not the kind of remorse we're discussing here, maybe - but remorse nonetheless.

I bought a used Splawn Nitro, drove hundreds km to get it, paid cash and didn't do my homeworks good enough while testing it.

The amp had big auto oscillation problems once the volume was up enough, I didn't spot it at his place. While there, testing it at home volume it had a small feedback moment but I thought was just a normal feedback for an high gain amp like that. That was my mistake: I made assumptions while I should have test it deeper. Lesson Learned.

The amp also had an half/faulty switch on it's pedal, somenthing the seller didn't mention, that motherfucker.

First time I turned the amp volume up, at band rehearsals, it was feedback hell. Unusable. And the pedal, after few stomps, started acting up....motherfucker.

The seller screwed me big time, he knew it, I'm sure he did.

Tried to get money back but the seller refused to even talk about it. He told me "you tried it, you liked it".

Brought it to a good tech and he told me that spotting the issue takes time and time is not cheap.

Sold the amp as broken loosing a lot of money.

Seller's. Sold my Martin D28 that I'd had from new, owned about 8 years. Was just starting to really open up, and had a lovely b band pickup fitted. Thought I was done with playing so sold it on for about £1k. Can't believe how much they cost now 😔
 
Only real regret was selling my first amp, a 50 watt Marshall JCM 800 4010 1x12 combo. At the time, I didn't know how to properly use a non master volume amp.
