I can't believe that I was too late for this.

Would have been a nice Christmas present to myself.

If it makes you feel better, it might have been BS. There was a listing on the Nashville craigslist of some guy selling an AC30, Marshall stack and a Fender tube amp for $20 a piece because they were his girlfriends and they just got divorce and he wanted to screw her...I highly doubt that was legit.

Yeah, I missed out on a 200a for $100. I was the 2nd caller (the first being on the other line)

amyatt1,

I guess I can't be too sad. I got my 200a at a pawn shop for $159 a couple years back.

A friend of mine bought a silver 414EB from a pawn shop on Monday for $115. Bummer for me was that I was actually planning to go take a peek in that very pawn shop Monday afternoon.

I've got a roomful of pawnshop deals, but the latest was an ok one I think. Trident S20 for $350. I'll take that deal all day long.

Wow thats a deal! I got a rhodes last year for $200 in great condition when all the ones on craigslist were going for $400-500.

I scored a 421 for $25 bucks from the store I used to work at (I had to get a new clip for it which ended up costing more than the mic!).

The best I ever did was an AKG D19 (ringo mic) for $25.

i've had my share of pawnshop prizes.

My faves are the K istanbul 20" and pair of K istanbul hats for $140 total. That was a good day.

Also the rare Blue Ripple Pearl Slingerland solid-maple shell Artist model (1 ply) for $65.

There have been more but those are my favorites! Lots of other things I got and flipped for several hundred or more profit, but those I kept!

Not that I'm 'one-upping' you on that, but a friend of mine scored a pair of AKG C60 tube mics, the vintage predecessor to the 451 for $50. Officially a good deal.

This guy has a knack for running across deals like this. Most recently a pair of Altec Lipstik M20 mics for $50 at an antique radio show.

When thinking about this, I'm sorta

and definitely sorta

but a part of me is also

Some day I too will score such a deal!

I picked up an Optigan w/ 6 discs and a Wurly 200a for $25 each. I also narrowly missed out on a Bosendorfer grand for $700 !!!!! It sold an hour or so after I called.
