Best bargain find ever ?

I've just missed out on sooo many I'm curious what others have snagged. I've found some really good deals but have yet to hit the proverbial jackpot. I once got a Kenwood KD-650 TT w/granite base/ SME 3009 III/Shure V15MR MKV in immaculate condition with owner's manuals for $200.00. I also snagged a Parasound PH/P 850 Pre-Amp for $125.00 (when they were going for $450.00 new) I also once got a complete Adcom set-up GFA 545 II amp, GTP-450 Pre, GCD 600 CD Player with a pair of Paradigm Titan speakers for $400.00. How about you ?

The best bargain ever was the SOTA TT circa 1985 that I sold (like an IDIOT) for $150. You didn't say I had to be the recipient!

God bless craigslist. Found a pair of Aerial LR5 for sale. I called the guy to go see the speakers and he had no idea what he really had. He got them from another gentleman he did work for. He had nothing to hook them up with, so I ran home and got my trusty NAD integrated and found the tweeters were not working. The guy just said go ahead and take them. What a find.
