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 another Sony DVP 9000ES at a thrift shop for $50. It sold new for $1500. Not bad, for a discount of 97%!

I purchased the following mid 1970's equipment for $400 back in 1997. All items were in mint condition complete with owners manuals. Technics 1200 MK2 Turntable and power supply with granite base (serial number 6). Complete ESS Transar Speaker system complete with multiple necessary cables and equipment. Luxman Power Amp customed at Luxman with before and after specs (high power with massive caps), Luxman pre-amp customed at Luxman with before and after specs (toggle switch construction), Luxman eq customed at Luxman with before and after specs (toggle switch construction). OH yeah It also came with 50 mint albums. This deal was a once in a lifetime purchase.

I forgot to mention it also came with original receipts. This system was approximately $6,000 in the mid 1970's. The items were also extremely rare, especially the ESS Transar Speaker System.
