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.

Aretha in Paris- FANTASTIC ALBUM. I consider it in the top 5 Lps in my 1000+ collection. I always wondered what she sounded like live when she could still belt out her vocals, singing those great hits of hers (and others). Recorded in May, 1968, it was her first European tour and the crowd treats her with the love and admiration she deserves. Her voice and the vocals are strong, the recording is superb! On my Lenco, this is an all time hit. It does have a bad skip on one of the songs, I know there is nothing we can do about it, but if you have any ideas...my ears are open.
BTW, I paid 2.00 for this.
Cheers!
