It wasn't much but it sure filled a big gap in my rifle assortment.
Ruger boat paddle stocked M77 stainless 30-06. It wasn't pretty and had scracthes up and down. But I used it for a rough weather rifle and it worked like a champ.

I've got no regrets, so far. Maybe I haven't done this long enough.
Sold a Savage 11 - didn't fit, didn't shoot. No regrets.
Sold a Post 64 Model 70 in 7x57. Almost too beautiful to hunt with, and LOP didn't work for me at all. I didn't cry, because I already had a 700 MR in 7x57 that fits like a glove.
Actually, I regret buying some rifles. I've got 3 in the safe right now that I'd be glad to sell, but not 'til the gun market crawls back out of the [bleep].

I let a Rem 760 pump in .30-06 go to the friend of a friend for cheap. It was a tackdriver, that I never respected. At one time I had a brace of High Standard Double Nines .22's with the fax ivory grips. I cannot even remember what they were traded for. I must be pretty lucky for these three to come to mind.
I had an 8" Colt Anaconda camo .44mag with matching factory scope that I traded for a NIB Win X3 auto 3 1/2" 12ga. Not one of my better trades, but I needed a goose gun and I have always been happy with the X3.

Sold a Ruger #1 25-06. It was heavy barreled. Great shooter, but I was tired of carrying it. Killed lots of deer with it and still would be if I'd had a lick of sense back then.

I sold a Savage bolt-action 30-30 for $110, which was $20 more than I'd paid for it new, and I thought that I was a real smart guy. Ya, right. It would have been a perfect first deer rifle for my son now.

Immaculate TCR 83 - 223. Traded for Rem 700 22-250. Not the best move I ever made!

I also sold or traded in a Marlin Maurader in .35 Rem. Like the very next day, the rifle became a collectible and prices soared. Sort of how I trade stocks: buy high, sell low. I allowed an as new Browning BLR in 7mm-08 to slip through my fingers. I traded an additional Marlin 336, also in .35, which I just replaced, having found a very clean and original condition walk-around at a local gun show.
Then there was the Winchester Model 92 I bought for $15.00 and sold for $25.00, thinking I made a killing. Funny, I don't remember the dealer telling me to turn around and bend over. A very sweet Browning auto-5, Light-20 that never left the safe got unloaded for something else.

I had a Browning A-Bolt 22 rifle that I sold that just makes me sick to this day. It was very accurate but it had no bolt lock when it was on safe; it would climb open all the time when it was slinged on the shoulder. I still wish I had kept it as it matched my other A-bolts and ammo is awful expensive now so it would be cheap to shoot.

Something about a short action that is just better. I couldn't agree more. My first rifle was a Rem 700 BDL 308 Winchester. I sold it & of course, through the river of trades since then I wish I had it back. I was able to find the same last year & snatched it up. I am more happy for what I have now & that is a Sako 85 in 300 WSM. Eventually & hopefully next year I plan to have a custom 300 WSM built by Borden.
