Yep, more than a few.
Another bite at the apple?

It would have to be for financial reasons, once I've let the gun go it is unlikely I'll want it back otherwise.

Not Mine, picture for reference. In the early 2000's I sold a Lew Horton 2.5" 686M too cheap to fund a Glock 23C. I just had to have the plastic.

Lord, I've had at least half a dozen instances of buying THE same gun back, not just another like it. I've owned the same P228 3 times, a Springfield Loaded 3 times, Ruger Single Six, 10/22, Mossberg 500, and 700BDL in 6mm twice each. All are gone for good now, but I'm still on my 2nd go round with an old Stevens 416.
But I did the same thing with an old beater Ford truck and a Durango. In fact, I owned the Durango on 3 separate occasions.

I've had a bunch of some guns, most of them got sold during a "cash crunch".
At least 4 Beretta 92's, a couple of 92S's, and at least 2 92FS's.
Multiple S&W 28-2's, 4" and 6.5", ranging from "well used" to almost NIB.
Astra A80's, 90's and 100's.
2 Astra A75's. One .40 which I didn't enjoy, and a 9mm that is one of my favorites.
A couple of Ruger Security Sixes. Just didn't love the looks of them, or shooting them.
Tanfoglio/EAA "Witness" guns, in compact and full size. I have like a half dozen of them, along with some Sar CZ clones. Love them. Those don't get sold.

Does it count if they aren't the exact same model, but a similar idea? Because that would be me and .30-06 bolt actions. It usually goes "Hey, neat rifle." Then I shoot it a while and say "Hmmmm... just a bit more recoil than I want to tolerate." Eventually it gets sold off and mostly forgotten about. Then I get an opportunity for another bolt action .30-06 and say "Oh, yeah, that's cool." And the process starts again. Which reminds me, it's about time to go looking for a nice .30-06 bolt action...

Had a perfectly fine, truly sweet looking, nickel plated S&W Model 38. It was my favorite J frame until the day I found something else that I wanted more. Many years go by and I found a new S&W Model 649 that caught my eye. Love this gun as it's a very worthy replacement for my old Model 38, though a trifle heavier due to it's all stainless steel construction.
Eventually I also picked up a Model 638 when I wanted to carry something a bit lighter as it reminded me of the "good old days", when I would slip that Model 38 in my coat pocket on those late night walks.
