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 ?

Used MIT conditioning & isolation gear.
Not the complex all in one stuff, just units intended to be effective at one thing. Surprising,no, exciting value when used properly.

I picked up an ADCOM 545 II for 20 dollars at a garage sale. Brought it home, hooked it up and cranked up Dark Side of the Moon on my old Klipsch speakers, my wife could hear the houses heart beating from the back fence!! Too funny! I got out of that garage sale in a hurry, just hoping the unit wouldn't be DOA. Sold it for $225 six months later. That sir is a deal.

I think with the bargain find, we should include the circumstance around it (estate sale, goodwill, etc.) Yeah I'm lookin at you, Reelsmith. ;)

It was a Craigslist deal. They were moving and had to get rid of it all that day. I asked how much they wanted for it and they said "$500, but you MUST take all of it."

No problem.
