thebes Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Ahh nothing like stalking wild gear in the woods. We're talking gear not deer. How about it, what was your best score. $50 Khorns at a church potluck dinner, Fisher tube receiver from roadside trash, $25 Carver amp on Ebay. Gear only, not the Rembrandt you snagged for $3 bucks at a yard sale. Well, how about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckears Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Klipsch Academy... $300 about a year ago. It's what they should sell for, compared to other Klipsch speakers, but we've all seen them go for almost 3 times that amount in the past year or so...

sheltie dave Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Now that was a score, Bill! Not really a score, as I moved them to pay some bills on the house renovations, but... 1962 decorator Khorns, circa 1963 Cornwall, McIntosh MC40 mono amp - $200 1972 commercial VOTTs - $200 4 Mcintosh MC30s - $100 less $20 for Sal Army blue tag All great deals, but still doesn't make up for sporadic contract work so far this year. Steady paychecks always are better than great deals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Nectar Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 "4 Mcintosh MC30s - $100 less $20 for Sal Army blue tag" Sheltie Dave wins. My two MC-30's will cost a bit more, I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Songer Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I seem to remember Fini finding a Jackie McLean on AdLib records for a dollar. This is a $2500 record. Doesn't get much better than THAT! I bought by 1964 Cornwalls for $300, but that was more than 20 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
