Shopping at Goodwill anyone?


I check out Goodwill a couple times a month for CD's . the audio equipment is not much to speak of ...until today. I saw this pair of Yamaha NX-E150 bookshelf speakers. All wood thick cabinet, 4.5" coned woofer and 1" tweeter.  I picked them up and they felt pretty substantial by weight.  hum...$6.99 each what do I have to lose.  Got home and set them up , put on my favorite B S and Tears SACD and WOW!  I was blown away...great imaging and soundstage.  They sound 4x as big as they are!   Happy Hunting today!

Man, You have hit the jackpot quite a few times!! where is your Goodwill located, I'll go there!  LOL
Yea i will be stopping by more often.  I have 4 or five within a 5 mile radius
@drabina  Generally that's about what I find at Goodwill.....not much. the LP section in AZ. is terrible. But I need to go more often and get lucky again.  I'd love to find some of the goods my peers have listed they found...wow those are some good finds!! 
@ mapman  Not heresy , its the thrill of the hunt no matter where you find it! Personally I was more excited about finding those speakers at Goodwill than when I purchase something brand new. 
I just picked up a few albums, the Mama's amd Papas, beatles Yellow submarine (not in the best shape), and joe Cocker .  rare find cause most are Lawrence Welk, or Andy Williams type albums...LOL
relax guys this is a decent forum, no hard feelings, who cares who makes what $$$?  apologizes are in ORDER!!
