The post going around where Gringo is looking for the ano matched parts to the Chord got me thinking.
Have you ever successfully located or re-purchased a marker that wasn't to a friend? Especially in the case where who you sold it to, sold it to?
In my own experience with it I have only attempted to hunt down a select few. I attempted to find an Angel that I sold here and when I found it appeared to have been drug down a dirt road and left in a swamp.
I found another by accident...sort of a funny story with that one, in that I tried to purchase it back from a member and it had been stolen in a group of gear. I never heard about it again and some years later another member posts a pic of it. I instantly message him informing that he may have purchased a stolen marker, messaged the guy I sold to whom it was stolen from...turned out that it had been recovered and actually sold a time or two in the interim.
The last one I can recall was a cocker that I sold and ended up finding within a groups picture gallery. Hit the current owner up and he mentioned not wanting to sell. A few months later he contacted me back and the whole thing was a bit strange with him offering it back to me for what I had sold it for to some previous prior owner. Long story short it turned out that the guy's profile had been hacked and this person had gone back through who knows how many private messages attempting to scam someone. Thank goodness my spidey sense went off.
By and large I have not been able to locate too many things once sold off. They seem to be lost to the ages, likely sitting in the bottom of a closet or such somewhere.
