the funny thing is that i wouldn't buy stuff any different way. it's FUN to hunt this stuff down and play with different combos. sell the stuff you don't dig. if you bought the gear for a deal - you make a profit. it's that simple.
better deals at swap meets and garage sales than craigslist - but if you just want a fair deal - use craigslist. i don't really mess with ebay. you pay top dollar plus shipping on the word of the seller that the stuff works. i like to see/hear stuff before i buy.
some of my better scores (which pale in comparison to other on this board):
thrift stores
MINT Fisher 500S tube reciever - $25
Ampex console with 6bq5 tube monoblocks, preamp and tuner - $10
Dynaco ST-70 w/ PAS4 preamp - $50
Dynaco PAS3 tube preamp - $10
garage sales:
Acoustic Research AR3 with original boxes - $25
swap meets:
Heathkit W-5M tube monoblocks - $60
McIntosh MC225 tube amp - $400
Grommes tube integrated - $5
it's just fun - i've also had a bunch of other stuff from trading.
marantzguy on this forum has me thoroughly beat though. marantz 8bs for $20. that sort of thing. stuff just falls into this lap ;-)
