This one was caught but sort of got away.....
Got given a beat up old 12 string acoustic while travelling in Israel by another traveller who was going home and didn't want to take it on the plane (back in 1988). It really was knackered and dirty as hell so sat in a corner until I decided to take a trip into Jerusalem and get it cleaned up. The shop owner nearly crapped himself when I walked in with it. Turned out to be a D'Angelico and he offered me £2k on the spot. Being a hard up traveller I nearly snatched his hand off!!
Turns out it was worth around £10k!!!! :) I was happy at the time, mind.... didn't have to work for six months. Just sat around the pool and drank myself stupid at night!!
