Best bargain find ever ?

I've just missed out on sooo many I'm curious what others have snagged. I've found some really good deals but have yet to hit the proverbial jackpot. I once got a Kenwood KD-650 TT w/granite base/ SME 3009 III/Shure V15MR MKV in immaculate condition with owner's manuals for $200.00. I also snagged a Parasound PH/P 850 Pre-Amp for $125.00 (when they were going for $450.00 new) I also once got a complete Adcom set-up GFA 545 II amp, GTP-450 Pre, GCD 600 CD Player with a pair of Paradigm Titan speakers for $400.00. How about you ?

I found two Goldmund turntables at Western Audio twenty years ago. The Studietto was pristine and the Studio had some mods. The owner offered me either one for $1,000 but
would only sell one. I chose the Studietto, but I should have chosen the Studio. I sold it later at a profit.

I just bought another Sony DVP 9000ES at a thrift shop for $50. It sold new for $1500. Not bad, for a discount of 97%!

I wandered into a thrift store and found ALL of the original Beatles albums in cassette format with the original carrier. 25 cents each, plus $1 for the carrier. The cassettes are like new. Someone probably bought them just before CDs were introduced and then never played them.
