# My first guitar
was a 70's Tele deluxe in ash. Happy accident. The parents had agreed to buy a guitar and one day in a furniture auction of all places my mother was looking for a dresser when I spotted a Telecaster in the lots. £30 in 1978. I was ecstatic to get a decent guitar and they were happy to not spend much ( oh that was with a practice amp and case ). I suspect now that the vendor was clueless. As was my Dad when some years later he sold my Strat in flight case for £85 because I'd long left home and he 'assumed I did not want it any longer '

# I always hope to stumble across things like that...
It never happens. I blame the internet.
Though, possibly, non-guitar related, my Casio VL-1 counts. I paid €2 for it on a flea market, and found out that some people were willing to pay up to $180 for it.
