I'm sure most of us have a good story on the one EBMM guitar/bass that they foolishly let go only to regret it later. Let's hear the story & details!
I'll start. I snagged up this 2000 Emerald Green Axis from Ebay back when I was in college in 2003. Some of you probably remember back then that you could scoop up used Axis guitars for about $900-1200 USD all day long (seem like they were only about ~$1600 new back then?). Somehow I got this one for $650!! Seems like I recall the eBay listing description missing a few keywords, so maybe it didn't have as many folks watching it. It came with a really crappy plastic aftermarket case but a few weeks later I found a like new G&G on eBay for $50! Lightning struck twice I guess.
Sadly, I sold it about 5 years later when I was looking to diversify my guitar lineup since I had several humbucker guitars at the time. Was married at the time (grrrr) with a toddler so my toy money wasn't as abundant back then. I later found out that they only made 100 of these in the Emerald Green in 2000. I didn't even make a lot of money off it when I resold it...maybe $150?
