GARAGE SALE FINDS...
GARAGE SALE FINDS...
Hello,
I'm just curious if anyone has any interesting stories about gear they aquired from a garage sale or anywhere else that they got an incredible deal or find.
The only thing I can claim is how I got my hands on my Neotek console. I bought it from a University for a total steal.
I know of only two real stories of people who found vintage gear at a garage sale. One paid the fair market value and the other really falls into the stories I am looking for. The guys mom went to a rummage sale and found this guitar which she thought her son would like. She paid $50 for it. It was an early 60's Vox teardrop mint in original case. I saw the guitar when he brought it into the studio. Does anyone have a clue what it was worth?
Also, a side note-what is the value of an original RCA ribbon mic? Just curious.
thanks,
tom

Actually TV Lenny was a local guy who sold electronics and stuff in the 80's. He did the commercials for American stores. I decided on that name cause it brings back memories. yeah I am simple. The only time I wore womens clothes was to impress a chick. Go figure...yes beer was involved.
I'll give ya $20 for the Champ.
