great speaker buys on Craigslist

About 20 years ago I went to a tag sale at which a pair of speakers were being offered. Although I don't remember the exact wording that was used to describe them in the listing, it was not all that different than in the description cited by the OP. Turned out they were a pair of large vintage Tannoys, ca. 1960, which are highly sought after. I bought them for $20. After enjoying them for a while I eventually sold them for $1500. I suspect they would be worth several times that amount today.

Old School Stereo = 24 yr old club kid selling a combo 8 track and record changer
Vintage Stereo = same as above
Hi-Fi = Elderly person selling a panasonic
Minty High End = 40 yr old in parent's basement
Stereo = your guess is good as mine
Moving Sale = nothing's packed up when you show up

Ok I called Mr. List and asked him about the large browns ones and he said those were already gone, but he did have the large loud ones and they were the same as the large brown ones. So I asked the logical question. And he said that the the ones he has wired to his receiver are a lot louder than the ones he didn't have hooked up. So I asked the next logical question. And he said the buyer didn't ask if they make any sound. So anyway I bought the large brown loud ones. If any of you can't hear'em let me know I will turn'em up.

What? Email louder. I can't hear you.

I also have a pair of even larger speakers in much coveted "Noir". Let me know if you're interested and I'll give you first dibs.
