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.

Unfortunatly this did not happen to me...

A buddy of mine recently got a 1969 Mustang Mint condition with under 100 miles. Origional everything.

He met this lady who was selling a 69 mustang, he looked into it. Turned out her son had bought this beauty a week before he went to vietnam. Unfortunatly he did not return. The mother kept the car as a keepsake of her son, had the oil changed every six months and drove it around the block a couple times every 3 months. She finally decided she would not be able to keep the upkeep on it and wanted to sell it. My friend bought it for the origional list price, approx $2,000, the mom did not want to make money off of it, just get back what her son paid.

Image buying a 1969 Ford Mustang perfect mint condition, garaged for over 30 years, and under 300 miles on the origional engine for 2 grand.
