Best Find Ever???


I am curious to hear what the best find you ever had was. It doesn't have to be limited to audio equipment, though best audio find around here gets the 'bull-of-the-woods' I suppose. I read somewhere of a guy who got a Lexicon MC1 from his local pawn shop for $150 because the doofus behind the counter thought it was an equalizer or something. What's the retail on one of those, around $6K? I am either too new at this, too slow, or too much like Charlie Brown to score something like that.

I did have one, not audio. Back when I was young and dangerous and into motorcycles, I had a friend back his truck up to the house with about $10k worth of somebody's entire flattrack program in it. In addition to the bike, there were spare everythings (extra engines, extra wheels, parts, gears etc.--most of it new!) He swore it was legit; I paid him $750, but made him promise if the real owner ever came for it he was giving me back my money and told him I was turnin' him in. I nervously sat on it for about 6mos., (rode a bunch of wheelies) and then sold it for about $5.5k.

One caveat though, if you are going to lie, try and at least make it believable. Thanks. Chris.

Just a couple of weeks ago a purchased an Aragon 5X and Sounstage Preamp for just $4K. Sold it on eBay for $6K last week. Makes me almost want to go into the audio business.
I bought a McIntosh C32 preamp and a MC 2125 with meters at a freight salvage store for $1100. The boxes were open, but I broke the seal on the plastic inter wrap. Best part is I used them for almost 20 years and sold them in mint condition for $1800 cash to a man from Germany.
I have a female friend whom had an audiophile boyfriend, well they broke up and she wanted to "get even" with him(no I did not sleep with her you bunch of sick bastards) and she sold me her ex-boyfriends speakers for $1000 they were new avalon acoustic eclipse. That was like 7 years ago and I still am using the speakers and have not heard from her or him in over 5...sometimes it is great to not have a conscience. No one wins unless someone looses.
Tim!! You mean Lisa with the big hoots?!?! Those are MY speakers you thief!! GIVE EM BACK!!!!
Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire David.

Tim the Tireguy knows that Lisa was my squeeze! I want my speakers back and quick. Besides, you got the early press Zep album so you don't need any more good luck.
