what is the best deal you ever got on audiogon

Best deal BAT 500 with BAK PACK, like new, the guy
delivered it to my place,also meeting friends here
at Agon.

I picked up a Chang Lightspeed HT 1000 Mk I for $450 shipped, I've had many other great buys, but this is the best 'bargain' I've gotten. I consider all my deals that end in new friendships a bargain. I still regularly speak to many people I've dealt with, and that is priceless to me (at the risk of ripping off a CC commercial..) I have also paid far more than am item was truly worth if it was worth it to me.

Case in point;

I have had a pair of JSE 1.0's with the JSE bases since I was a sophomore in college (1986), well, I ran across a guy here on the ‘Gon selling the 1.8’s for $600 with no boxes. I Emailed him anyway, figuring I would likely never want to pay the needed cost of packing and shipping, but was really interested in the speakers… Well, turns out the guy lives ~20 miles from me!! We spoke on the phone and agreed that $500 was fair, I went to his house and got to listened to them. I was happy, but told him (after I’d already agreed to the price, and paid him FWIW) that I thought the speakers were worth less as they only cost ~$1200 new 20 years ago, but I also told him they were worth every penny to me.

So, I guess what I am saying is that this wasn’t the best ‘bargain’ based upon retail price, but to me was a phenomenal deal! I currently have these speakers with sound fusion vibe buster 8 spikes in my bedroom and love them!!

I hope to continue getting my ‘bargains’ here for a long time!

I'm just reading this thread to see if anything I've sold is listed. ;-))

ATI 2505 Amp for $1200 shipped. 5 x 250W of clean, clear, raw power. A good price for a 7/10 condition used, but it turned out it was a dealer going out of business and they had never even hooked it up because they never had a 20 amp circuit to plug it into. All 110 pounds is still sitting in the box as I build our Custom Quality Theaters showroom. It's the prize cheerleader that you had to wait for a year to take to the prom, but you just know how good it's gonna be when it finally happens.

Focus Audio FS688's for $1350 with free shipping. Sell for $2990. Weren't even burned in when I got them. Emailed the owner after I received them and he said they were to be part of a 6th system he was putting together. Wife said enough and made him part out 3 of his systems. Said he had maybe 20 hours on the speakers.
