I wouldn't call it strange and I'm sure I'll catch quite a bit of hate for this but here it goes anyway.... First race, I won a pair of HED Bastogne wheels (C2 model). That was a year ago and I had just bought the bike maybe a year before that, so I decided to sell them. The money went towards a bunch of other cycling stuff, but sometimes I wish I had those wheels. Didn't even ride them, that was hard.
Edit: It should be noted that I won them in a lottery, I'm no cycling prodigy.
