gagelle Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 We've heard these stories before, but someone I know picked a black pair of Forte IIs for $20 at an estate sale. I don't think he realized the value of the Fortes until a few days later. I've never been so lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Yeah, but that person MADE their good luck by getting out of bed and going to that estate sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagelle Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Yeah, I agree. I've been to some estate sales and usually find junk but once found a nice casette deck in perfect condition. But it's true, if you make estate sale hunting full time work, you're more likely to find something of value.I think it's great that this guy found the Fortes because now he a Klipsch lover. Many people won't give them a chance until they hear the wonderful sound for themselves. Most of my Klipsch speakers were bought used at excellent prices, so I have no complaints.

t-man Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 $20?? Time to put some notes on the back of my speakers for my loved ones in the event of my death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagelle Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 That's a good one. It makes me think that many family members have no idea about the value of the equipment in their house. I know my parents gave away my grandmother's Fisher console tube unit when she had to go into a nursing home. Everyone was so distraut that they just wanted to get rid of all her possessions. But I'm happy I trained my son about the value of our equipment. I gave him my Epic CF-3 speakers with a restored Sansui receiver. He's only 17 but knows sound quality. He guards those speakers and won't let anybody near them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grateful11 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 That was a killer deal. It's true there's still deals out there like this. That's how I got my mint Walnut Cornwalls for $350, original boxes and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
