Stuff you bought on Audiogon, but never have seen another?

Title says it all. I own a variety of audio equipment I bought here on Audiogon. And through the years, have never seen another for sale.                 
Example: Audio Research SP-15 bought it from here in early 2009. Another item, Kuzma Stabi Stogi S TT (from Audiogon, close enough the fella delivered it for $20. Never seen another. Then a Rudistor RPX-33 MK2. (it is a headamp from Italy) And an Adcom DA700 Finally just this week saw one for sale. only the second in 18 years since I bought mine from Audiogon.  
So you have any rarities you bought here and just never have seen another for sale?

1) Voce audio V1 speakers - I bought the proto type from Vince & have never seen another pair offered.
2) Joule Electra Destiny mono amps - 310 wpc - I think only a dozen pairs were ever made (they could melt an igloo) 16 6C33B tubes per side.

@tonykay I have a Magus that I bought around 95. I only use it as a phonostage. I’ve had Scott Frankland upgrade it twice. A third time I gave it to him for a couple months to use as a test bed. He figured out a new mod he’d never done on any other. It’s much treasured but, if I had a chance on a Wavestream Kinetics phonostage, I’d jump.

VAC 22.1 vacuum tube dac.  Hdcd decoding using the Pacific Microsonics pmd 1000 dac chip.  It doesn’t get a lot of use these days but still sounds decent.  An unusual piece for sure.

I too like searching the ads to keep abreast of the used market and that very rare once in a lifetime piece.

A few years ago I bought a very rare Ditton 240 integrated amp made by Celestion with an upgraded Shunyata power cord.  Paisley Research AE500’s and Rauna Tyr II’s are also pretty rare and wonderful sounding too.  I owned the Paisleys for about 5 years and moved and needed smaller speakers, so now I have the Raunas and have thoroughly enjoyed both speakers.
