What was the craziest location that you made an audio purchase from?


I thought that this might be a fun topic.

 

I just purchased speaker cables on Audiogon while on a cruise ship in the Canary Islands How about you?

Rural parts of Arizona for me. Sold a HSU subwoofer that barely fit in my old Jetta to an odd fellow who didn’t say more than two words. Sold a Sunfire Cinema Grand Architecture Series to a guy who said he was $300 short of the agreed upon price once we met up - he paid in full when I called his bluff. More or less, at least for me, the people are more interesting than the places - especially when meeting in-person. 

About 15 years ago I sold a tone arm to a guy and we made the exchange on an I84 off ramp in NY. Probably looked like a drug deal going down.

It wasn’t a purchase,but I placed a bid on a First Watt M2 while waiting in the on deck circle for an angiogram. 

Sea-Tac Airport- Sub-POP outlet store.

 

Who knew you could buy records at the airport?

A Manley Labs Chinook phono preamp for half price from Turkey.  It was only 3 months old.  I had to solder the power supply to USA standards of 110-120V (60 Hz).  When I wrote Manley asking for schematics EvaAnna sent them right over and told me how old it was and that it was still covered under warranty even though it was a used unit.  My kinda company!
