Best Find Ever???

Bought 48 pairs of Baltic speakers (8 years ago) for $105.00 per pair delevered (each speaker weighed 45 lbs. each!). These tower speakers were respectable three way designs with west german drivers, that had bass response down to 25 hz! Their original list price approached $1000.00, so they were sort of a cross between mid-fi and a high end value speaker. I resold every pair for $500 a pair directly from my house, getting almost a 400 percent profit! My garage and two bedrooms were filled all the way to the ceilings, with these damn things. Fortunatley, they were just too easy to sell, (even at $500.00). I had the best of both worlds, both mid -fi and entry level high end guys,lining up as customers. Everyone was extremely greatfull, none ever complained or returned them (I offered a 30 day money back guarantee). If I had to do it over, I would have bought all 120 pairs that were initially available. As a salesman that has now worked in many industries, this time in my life was too easy and extremely lucrative.

sold it the next day for 175.00

My absolute best find was on March 23, 1986. The first day my newborn son breathed life. I can sincerely say that he was the first thing that came to my mind when I considered what was my most valuable asset.

Many evenings I hear a very believable version of Dave Matthews coming from my photo studio. He sits with his Fender guitar and Sovtek amp stack perfecting music he admires. Surely this qualifies him as an audio asset as well.

in 1993 i bought at very good condition comlete nakamichi 7 series (cr7e,st7 ,pre,and power)and bw 801 serie 3 for just 5000$

A few years ago I was working at a hi=fi store and took a call from a gent who asked if we bought used equipment. I told him no, but he was welcome to sell it on consignment here at the store. He went on to tell me that it was in an old cabinet and being elderly could not get it out. I asked him what it was he had but he could only tell me that one was a Marantz and one a McIntosh. My brain went into overdrive and I was licking my chops. I told him I could come out to his house and check it out. I agreed to meet him the following Sunday when he got out of church. I meet this couple in there late 60s, salt of the earth type and they explained that they were getting new furniture and this large, old console (and what was in it) would have to go. I open the console and there's a Marantz 10b tuner and a Mac C22 preamp..and they were flawless. I asked him where the amp was and he told me it was underneath the console. I pull it out from the wall and there covered with dust from 1962 that was so thick you could not tell what it was. Down on my knees, brushing away this vintage dust I come across a Mac 240 power amp...Oh Mama!!! These folks were so desperate to get rid of this stuff that they would have paid me to haul it out. Good guy that I am I offered them $1200.00 for the set. You would have thought they'd just won the lottery by the look on their faces. In an instant he said yes, before I change my mind..yeah right. All three pieces were mint and in perfect working condition, once I cleaned them up. I kept the gear for a couple of years and then sold it all for $5000.00a
