One that springs to mind was a Olympic White Custom Shop Strat with tortishell guard, rosewood board on here in Classifieds which went for about £1200. It was on for ages as well
I just ended up being too suspicious. Why was he selling a guitar he'd ordered specially at a big loss before he even got it? Why didn't he want me to see it when another bidder might push up the price he got for it?
So I didn't bid, and it went for iirc around £1,200.
Now maybe - just maybe - I dodged a bullet. But part of my thinking was, another one will come along - and it never has. And buyers are pretty well protected with Ebay and Paypal. So I could almost certainly have got something close to my dream guitar at a great price. And I'm still looking for something similar 2 or 3 years later.
I dithered for 24h and it was gone.
"But I already have a chorus."
Twat!
I said maybe.....
3 weeks later it came up on eBay.com for $2000, and now it's sat on reverb.com for $2500
Ooops.

I have had one since, and sold it for family coffers replenishment. Whilst I loved the one I had, I would have had more time to appreciate it as a student I reckon.
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
The shop was deserted - on a Saturday afternoon! - and the very nice owner set me up with a Blade Delta Pro (a what?) through a Traynor amp (some no-name brand, right?) and left me to it.
It sounded just fantastic. Never really got it again.
The first is the other Fender Electric XII that the shop had in when I bought mine, which was 50 quid more because it was in better nick and finished in Olympic White (with matching headstock). I wish I could have afforded both but hey! There you go.
The other is the Ibanez copy of a Dan Armstrong Plexi that was hanging in a shop in Leeds for not very much money (about 300 quid IIRC). It was lovely. I didn't buy it because at the time I was looking for an electric 12-string (ended up getting the Fender) and couldn't risk spending on something else. Arse biscuits!
Noise, randomness, ballistic uncertainty.
