GREAT BARGAIN BUYS YOU'VE MADE OR KNOW OF

I thought I got a bargain recently - I got a JVC QL 10 in working condition with a UA7045 in working condition - all for £400. I thought that was a bargain until the guy told me he bought it, along with the top of the line JVC Amplifier from the 70's as well as a JVC stand at a car boot sale for £25.00 - yep - diddly squat. I don't begrudge the man as he was great to deal with and passed on a bargain to me.

With that has anyone else heard of or benefitted from a similar bargain? let me know

Once bought an Empire 698 demo turntable for $50 at a going-out-of-business sale. Nice cabinet!

Paying full retail for a Basis turntable did not seem like such a great bargain. Until, some ten years later, when it sold for exactly what it cost me new. Brand new Basis turntable. For free. Beat that.

Speaking of bargains, there's a Tice Micro Block power conditioner on ebay for $98! I paid $650 in the 90's. I've trying to find a reason to purchase but still have my original. This would be a great power supply for a CD/DAC or turntable. Basically an isolation transformer.
