My all time best scores were a Mark Levinson 332 fully serviced and redone where the owner thought it was broken, and sold it to me for $900 and it turned out to be the rubber sealant and the amp was pristine and should need no service for a dozen or so years.
My greatest score ever was for $2800 I once scored a Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista DAC, A3CR Amp and Preamp (all heavily modified), a pair of B&W 805 Nautilus (with stands), Velodyne HGS-15, and a PS Audio P1200 (the big ole giant) all in great to perfect condition + some really fancy power cables and sold everything but the DAC and the P1200 in 36 hours making a few hundred bucks (plus selling my gear) and giving my best friend a hell of a deal on the HGS-15. That was a score of,a lifetime
