In Reply to: RE: Attention Washington, DC Area Audiophiles - Cheap Audio Gear on the Loose! posted by svisner on July 04, 2017 at 14:24:15
I really did not expect to find anything, but I went to the Bladensburg Salvation Army. The only interesting audio gear I saw was a cosmetically challenged pair of Polk towers with built in active subwoofer, a cute little vintage Yamaha and a very overpriced pair of RadioShack Mach II's. Either it all got bough or it never hit the floor.So as not to make the trip a loss, I went to the record section. It was almost all classical, and mostly mono. Most of what I found, I already had, but I did find some amazing jems. I found 3 stereo Mercury Living Presence records: Fredric Fennel conducting "Sound Off (SR90264) and "Marches for Orchestra (SR90271, and Paul Party conducting Vive La Marche (SR90211). I also found a shaded dog - Piatigorsky/Munch/Boston Symphony, Dvorak Chello Concherto (LSC-2490), a blueback -Katchen Conducting Brahms (C56158) an Everest os William Steinberg conduction the Pittsburg symphony - "A Commemoration Symphony" by Stephen Foster and "A Symphonic Story of Jerome Kern". All of the records are NM+! I also picked up the CD, The Who, Icon. All in all, for this day and age, an amazing haul. I am glad I went!

Not sure how my gear will be sold - possibly via eBay and maybe through other Salvation Army stores in the area. The Polk and RS gear did not come from us.
I have volunteered in thrift stores, and while I always stuck to the rules, many stores have employees running side businesses. I recommend that you talk to the manager if you are donating something valuable. It is not a guarantee, but it increases your odds. The Salvation Army's web selling is still in the development stage. I'll leave it it at that.Thank you for leading me to some fantastic records. Also, I can't help but talking to people when I go to these out of the way places. I had some great conversations!
