None at the moment. I'm pretty happy with how things have ended up, however... That same thought of missing a board after its sold is keeping me from selling a few in my collection.

I sold an actual Alps Electric keyboard to jdcarpe a few years ago and immediately regretted it.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Zenuty sold me an LZ-S with real vintage browns...

Vintage browns from a g80-5000.

And poor me thought it would be easy to source the switches again..

I kinda regretted selling my AEKII. But then I dabbled back into dampened Alps and remembered why.

It was a pristine example though :P

I was in the first poker 2 w/ mx clears drop then immediately sold it (for full price) to a friend of a friend.

I don't regret it at all though, clears have gotten a lot more common and I like my FC660M way more. I'm just proud to be able to say I participated in that original drop, even if it had zero impact on my collection.
I typed this post on my Slanck. I also developed a stronger, cleaner, easier handwiring method.

Honestly I started building a board last night that I'm already kinda liking. Its going to be really nice once it's done, but I'm building it just tot sell it.

I regret selling my Leopold FC200R's!  Had I known that years later a seller called Widebasket would start selling extremely nice thick PBT sets with a compatible space bar I would have kept them!  :eek:

I sold a Unicomp Ultra Classic Buckling Spring (PBT caps) to a coworker... but then replaced with another Unicomp Ultra Classic Buckling Spring (PBT caps).  Problem: solved.  :thumb:
