Best bargain find ever ?

I've just missed out on sooo many I'm curious what others have snagged. I've found some really good deals but have yet to hit the proverbial jackpot. I once got a Kenwood KD-650 TT w/granite base/ SME 3009 III/Shure V15MR MKV in immaculate condition with owner's manuals for $200.00. I also snagged a Parasound PH/P 850 Pre-Amp for $125.00 (when they were going for $450.00 new) I also once got a complete Adcom set-up GFA 545 II amp, GTP-450 Pre, GCD 600 CD Player with a pair of Paradigm Titan speakers for $400.00. How about you ?

I just bought a Tandberg TR2075 receiver on eBay for $240 cash pick-up.
It's in beautiful condition, all the lights work, knobs are static free and the rosewood cabinet is in great shape. This is a classic and for this price I couldn't pass it up.
I picked up a Pro-Ject Perspective on Craig's List for $475. Sold it for a hefty profit.

Dynavector 10XGold L for $250.00 (Only 50 allocated to US).

StraightWire Maestro speaker cables for $200.00 (6' pair w/spades).

Most recently, GoldenEar Triton 7's for $900.00. You will be hard-pressed to find a better pair of speaker for under $2,000.00.

My post back in July 2002 kicked off this thread, and I'm back some 12 years later with my best A-gon bargain yet! Last week I bought a Lyra Skala cartridge with VERY low mileage for $999 (retail is $3995). This completes the upgrade of the entire analog front end of my system, and I'm looking forward to many pleasurable listening hours.

A pair of original KLH Nines for $500 in 1991! I still have them in use! Later, another great find was a pair of Klipsch Heresy's at my local GW - $25 in excellent condition!
