As Tvad suggests above, there are many components that represent good (or even exceptional) value on the used market.
I am currently building a small, relatively inexpensive system in my current home in Lisbon, Portugal, and am already very happy with my first two acquisitions: a Tandberg TR-1049P receiver (around $200 with recent service), and Von Schweikert VR-1 speakers (around $300 locally).
And yes, tweaks can be very important.
