I miss the Audio classified ads of the 70's and 80's in the newspaper

I remember getting my Sunday paper and looking at all the ads in the audio classified section. They would have private party listings along with dealer listings and ads for new gear. Obviously this is before the Internet ever existed. Call me old fashioned but I really enjoyed those days.

Personally, I enjoy your thread, Taters. 

I used to wheel and deal a bit in used stereo gear. I'd always try to get a copy of the weekly "Recycler" every week to get to the good stuff first. Lot's of Dyna 70's for fifty bucks ... and Dyna Mk III's for 100 bucks the pair. I picked up a mint Dyna 70 and Pas-3 for four bucks one time. Bought a Marantz mono preamp for seven bucks. 

Those were the days.

^^^ I'm old. I'm cranky. Hey! ... you kids get off of the lawn!!  You all remember that guy, right? Well, I am now that guy.

I still enjoy going through the bins in used record stores and thrift stores. With thousands of records, do I really need another record? Of course we  need more records. Love to check out Ebay and Agon for equipment ads too.
