ZAKO Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I agree with the pawnbroker...When you guys die, your wife is going to dump your junk off at the pawn shop & run off with the pawn broker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johncan Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 There is a pawn shop in suburban Atlanta that carries high end gear. The owner currently has some classic McIntosh gear for sale as well Dyanco and Scott. However, the store is in a bad section of town and I am not sure how many audiophiles venture into his shop. I think he has it cause he loves old gear. I go into to look every once in a while. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuttynose Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Maybe I should start a pawn shop in my basement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshnich Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hard to believe that with ebay and on line info, that your pawn guy doenst know what some of this stuff is worth. I haven been in a pawn shop in a long time. I figured that the days of finding great deals have vanished with the advent of the internet.

IndyKlipschFan Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I figured that the days of finding great deals have vanished with the advent of the INTERNET. Boy you got that right... Good stuff is at your shop, but it is also on like 3 sites all at the same time too. So where do you find it?? Auctions.. local little towns that no one cares about (PS. I was born in a small town, I am not knocking them..You know what I mean here...) I saw a mac 275 amp sold at one and this situation is still vivid in my mind.... The auctioneer said, "Ah when this beauty was new, it went for 900 dollars.... people still like them today... going once, going twice... sold for 225 dollars!!!! I had no idea at the time.. What a steal this was!! hahahahaha And No I did not get it. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Tell the guy in the pawnshop that you want the old tube amps for parts and that you'll give him 20 per amp. I imagine you would eventually come out ahead : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
