hydro_pyro Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 My RF25 towers and RB25 bookies were Craigslist scores. Everything else came from eBay. I have the entire system, all purchased secondhand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzydog Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I scored a pair of RS-35s the other weekend for $50. Other than the peeling vinyl, they are like new. Now if I just had a place to mount them I'd be in good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiminSTL Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 My RF25 towers and RB25 bookies were Craigslist scores. Everything else came from eBay. I have the entire system, all purchased secondhand. Likewise. Aside from the Outlaw LFM-1 EX sub I recently bought new from an ID seller, and the Pioneer Elite SC-35 I bought reconditioned, all my speakers were CL. Of course, please don't inquire about the distances I may have driven for a few of them . . . . Oh, have an understanding wife, too--match.com, not CL!

JL Sargent Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 True Story: It was noon on a Saturday. We stopped at a basement/yard sale. Lady had a ratty looking box standing in the corner and I had to take a look inside. The nice lady told a story of how she worked at a golf pro shop back in the late 50s and the owner gave her this Pepsi clock which she never hung up. I pulled the clock out of the box and asked my wife if we could hang it in the kitchen. She said "sure" and I paid $30 for the clock which was $5 less than the asking price. When we got home with our newly purchased clock my wife changed her mind and said that I should hang it in the basement! WTH, you just agreed to use it in the kitchen! Neither of us had any idea what that clock was at that time, but we were about to find out! So I listed it on Ebay starting at $1. In no time I started getting requests to end the auction and sell it outside of Ebay. I never do this. Anyway, people started bidding away on this Pepsi clock and it finally sold for $1,526.00! We couldn't believe it. Turns out the clock was only made for one year and that was 1959. You just never know! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
