Best Find Ever???


I am curious to hear what the best find you ever had was. It doesn't have to be limited to audio equipment, though best audio find around here gets the 'bull-of-the-woods' I suppose. I read somewhere of a guy who got a Lexicon MC1 from his local pawn shop for $150 because the doofus behind the counter thought it was an equalizer or something. What's the retail on one of those, around $6K? I am either too new at this, too slow, or too much like Charlie Brown to score something like that.

I did have one, not audio. Back when I was young and dangerous and into motorcycles, I had a friend back his truck up to the house with about $10k worth of somebody's entire flattrack program in it. In addition to the bike, there were spare everythings (extra engines, extra wheels, parts, gears etc.--most of it new!) He swore it was legit; I paid him $750, but made him promise if the real owner ever came for it he was giving me back my money and told him I was turnin' him in. I nervously sat on it for about 6mos., (rode a bunch of wheelies) and then sold it for about $5.5k.

One caveat though, if you are going to lie, try and at least make it believable. Thanks. Chris.

Tim!! You mean Lisa with the big hoots?!?! Those are MY speakers you thief!! GIVE EM BACK!!!!
Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire David.

Tim the Tireguy knows that Lisa was my squeeze! I want my speakers back and quick. Besides, you got the early press Zep album so you don't need any more good luck.
Sorry guys I'll send them right out to you I'll send one to dave and one to albert and then you can figure it out from there. And by the way Dave though they were big they definitely were fake....sorry.
I got a Hafler 500 and an Audible Illusions pre-amp for $1 each. I got a bunch of MFSL records too for 25 cents ea.
And some DCM speakers for $15.
The Hafler didn't work, and the MiniMite preamp had
noise, but I did end up selling both.
