Very funny story (bought back a Siemens VFD I sold a year ago)

Very funny story.
Around last fall to January, I sold several Siemens VFDs.
For my Quincy I got at auction, I needed a drive, so a week ago I
purchased a Siemens drive that was rated at 25 HP. The price was $469.
When I received it today, I got a feeling that I saw it before. So I
dug my old records, and found an auction for the 25 HP drive, and
opened pictures.
To my huge surprise, the drive I bought, was oe of the drives that I
sold (looking at identifying tags). Not a similar one, but the same
physical drive. So I got my old drive, back.
I sure hope you sold it for more than you paid back for it. d8-)
A friend of mine, who got wealthy in the newspaper business, sold his '57
T-bird for $2,500 and then bought it back 20 years later, after spending a
bundle having it tracked down around the country, for $12,000 as a
basket-case wreck. Then he spend $60,000 to have it restored.
I told him that I was glad his business sense had improved over the years.
