Gear You Really Wish You Would Have Purchased Back In The Day — But Didn’t
Just wanted to bring this whole combination of threads to their obvious end.
I‘m hoping for opportunities you had, but passed on. Not I wish I were alive back in 1954 to buy a killer Stratocaster.

I think there's a more obvious end to this serial....
"Gear You Really Wished To Purchase Back In The Day — But Didn’t and Now Don't Regret It at All Cause It Was All Hype"
That's a very keen perspective as it relates to the massive forum over-responce to a large majority of new apps released! 🙃

Depending how long ago 'The Day' can be, I'll go for a nice Stradivarius. Purely for investment purposes.
Various analogue synths at 90s prices... a Multimoog, JP4, JP8 which I saw in shops in Manchester.
Missed the boat on hybrid samplers more recently.
JP4
EML synths
Trident

I wish I had bought an OP-1 when the price wasn't stratospherically ridiculous. Would have liked to have owned one.
Not quite my choice, but I was in a band back in the 70s that was given several thousand pounds to buy new equipment, including a polysynth, so we all trundled up to Chase Music in London to look at what was available. It came down to two options, a Polymoog or a Yamaha CS-80...
The keyboard player decided to get the Polymoog...
This is easy.
Yamaha FS1R.
I was on the verge of buying one. Had I known what they fetch now, I’d have bought ten.
None, buying used is usually is better, which only happened once I started working. I was a child when the sell off of analogs began, so had I been able to get gear, then I would wanted a TB303 at cheap prices.
Maybe CZ1, love Casio Phase Distortion, but alas no room for a massive keyboard.
Screw buying gear back then. Much better things to spend money on if I’d have known.
…I’d have registered sex dot com and all the other three letter TLDs I could.
Before I found the Rhodes I ended up with, I came across a Student Model Rhodes that was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. I offered $800 on the spot but they wanted $1000 and I couldn't drum up the extra. This isn't the same one but it looked identical to this
If Harold Rhodes had invented the omelette...
My roommate was urging me to buy Amazon stock back in the mid 90s.
I have not got smarter since then.
I went to a Mac Expo in Boston in the early 90’s. They were selling shares of Apple stock for $13 US...... 😭😭😭
I was about to buy about £700 worth of bitcoin and even opened an account, but the same week Mt.Gox got hacked so I didn’t.
I was going to buy a few hundred quid worth of bitcoin when they were pennies but couldn’t find the time to figure it out because I was so busy and stressed with work (which was why I, for once, had a bit of silly money to burn on a risk) ah well, I’d have been even more insufferable if I was accidentally rich 🤣
There used to be a ‘boutique’ pedal company back in the early 2000s called ‘Barge Concepts’.
They made a few unbelievably good, improved versions of classic pedals (eg Ross Compressor, Roland BeeBaa, Interfax Harmonic Percolator) as well as a range of original and extremely useful boosts/loopers/buffers for insanely low prices.
I still own one Barge pedal but sold all the rest. I never owned their ‘Grinder’ which was an improved version of the Lovetone Meatball.
Looking back I wish I’d bought the lot and kept them all.

Roommate said I needed to invest at least $400 in Amazon stock.
Similar deal as you. I was trying to figure out how to pay for my last year in university. Grant money was all used up. For some reason I wasn't allowed to take out more student loan money. I ended up selling my PepsiCo stock to to pay for uni, and it was barely enough. I got the stock as rewards when I was working for Pizza Hut as a driver. They used to award you X shares of stock for logging N number of miles delivering for Pizza Hut without an accident. They changed the rewards program so you get a pin or something equally dumb instead of stock shares. PepsiCo stock wasn't as lucrative as Apple or Amazon but it grew steadily over time in value.
I was looking for a bass cabinet and the shop happend to have a Rocktron Intellifex as commission sale. Tried it with my bass and literally was blown away by the fx quality.
The price was a bit on the high side, so I later bought another one... which was reset to factory state and of course lacked all the great programming the former owner of the 1st unit had applied. The more I tweaked it, the more apparent it became what an idiot I‘ve been...
(that thing is not difficult to program, but it takes an enormous amount of effort with just 2 dials and a 1 line display)
EDP Wasp.
Yes, I know they were incredibly flimsy, but they sound so good and nasty.
Plus, they go for insane prices these days.
I’m with you. When confronted with the same option, my response was “What? Unfortunately, we’re living in a post literate/sub literate world, who in the hell is going to be buying books through the mail?”
