Shopping at Goodwill anyone?

I have found at my local Goodwill, a pair of KLH Seventeens for $1 ea., a Thorens TD-165 for $3.50, a pair of Pioneer HPM-40 for $.50 ea.(needed new surrounds), and a Sansui AU-517 for a decent price that I can't recall right now.

I check it out a couple times a week.

Yea i will be stopping by more often.  I have 4 or five within a 5 mile radius

I go to several Goodwill stores here in AZ once a week, but no luck with quality audio gear. Most of my scores are mid century ceramics from California, great signed handmade pottery, and other decorative stuff from Italy and other European countries. Incredible prices. 

Love Goodwill!  Shop there often for CDs and the occasional surprise.  Best finds: NAD 3020, DCM TimeFrame TF600s, Acoustic Energy 24" cast iron speaker stands, Sony component Minidisc recorder, and a Sherwood vintage receiver.  Lately though they seem to be getting wise and are putting their best stuff on eBay for higher prices.  Too bad for us.

I check out Goodwill, Salvation Army and St. Vincent De Paul once or twice a week.  Here is a small list:  Paradigm Studio 60's in mint condition $150

The Marantz cost $45 and $58 to repair.  Polk sub $40 repair by Polk authorized dealer.   Both now perfect. That's my only repair jobs.  I always bring a pair of speaker wire and rca's inside to test before I leave in order to test.  I have a system in every room in my home.  Even the master bathroom.  There is a small town an hour away from my home that is Full of millionaires that has 3 thrift stores that is loaded with equipment.  The secret is finding the stores in wealthy communities.
