Cedar Chest
a solid cedar wood chest purchased for $100 via craiglist. it took about an hour to drive down and pick them up, but it was well worth it. the owner said this was her great grandmother's hope chest and the chest has been in her family for over 100 years.

Mackie HR824 MKI + Stands
i searched for months for a pair of Mackie HR824 speakers. i was okay with either the MKI or MKII versions. new, these cost $550 each.
i found this pair listed for $250, in los angeles. i quickly contacted a friend in LA and set the deal in motion. one woofer didn't work, so for $200 i had the speakers. $80 to replace the dead woofer and i was in business.
later i purchsed the speaker stands for $40 locally
the sound is amazing, and the stands look professional while keeping the speakers at an optimal height for listening.

Dirt Devil
In july 2009 i purchased this bagless dirt devil with a fresh "hello my name is" sticker on it.
i paid $25 to a nice girl via craigslist, she was moving to chicago. the brush didn't work, so i had to spend $1.63 to purchase a new belt.

MCS 6602
a friend mentioned several times that she wants a turntable, and for me to help her purchase one.
while looking for a good looking (most likely non-functioning one) i came across this MCS 6602 for $20 on craigslist. research uncovered that MCS was manufactured by technics for sale exclusively through sears.
i want the non-functioning yet good looking turntable for a wall clock project, like this:
i contacted the seller, and picked up the table. got home, hooked the MCS up, and it works great! how could i rip apart a perfectly working, direct drive turntable, when i have a friend in need?

Paradigm
Veteran's day off... what to do? get some speakers!
i picked up a pair of paradigm speakers after a swift drive to santa cruz. they are sequential serial numbers, made in the 90's, and sound very good for what i paid.
the lovely nancy models my newly purchased paradigms in the in-n-out parking lot.
$40.00 for the pair, found on craigslist.
