dunno hehe some people collect sports memorabilia, i collect music gear i've used over the years hehe
yes, you will regret it... I do. It was a Custom shop strat and played like a dream. I got it for $1500 cheaper then it was going for as it was used but it was in excellent condition and came with the sweet case and the certificate of authenticity stating it was the only one of its kind in the world. Do I wish I still had it... not right now, but I do wish I could have kept it (for collective purposes) and found other ways of coming up with the cash at the time.
