Heartbreaker this morning. Last night on a local craigslist type site there was an ad for a Fender Deluxe Reverb amp. It looked old. It was going for $40! I thought, ok, it's gutted out or something....anyway, I emailed them and told them I would buy it immediately. They just stated it would be available at a certain location at 8am. So I got there 15 mins early and another truck was pulling away - with MY amp! Come to find out it was an original 1965 amp and in perfect working condition. It was her dad's that had been sitting in storage....That amp goes for between $2000-$3500 nowadays.....Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest.

You know what is worse? Being old enough to have one that you got when they were $150.
