I will start with my most recent and totally awesome bargain.
I like pawnbrokers a lot, they frequently get stuff for insanely cheap so in turn sell it for a good price. And of coarse sometimes they don't catch stuff and I get really lucky, and has become a trend over the past 3-4 years.
Cash America Pawn is a incorporated pawnbroker with enough resources to catch anything, but I guess some things slip through. I went to 2 Cash America Pawns today. The first one had a 20" Daewoo flat screen crt for 50 bucks because the RF in was broken, which I don't need and would never use. I thought about getting for my room, but decided to wait, glad I did.
I then went to the other Cash America Pawn and saw a good deal on some NHT 1.5's but the cosmetic damage was to great and I have to many sets of speakers laying around, I even use some to sit on. So even at $60, a great buy, I felt that it wasn't needed. Then the sky openned up, I saw a nearly perfect HSU STF-2 sitting on the bottom shelf by itself with an awesome surprise, the price tag..........$69.99
Needless to say I was shocked to see such a low price on a mint HSU anything, they had more on one of those stupid Sony 8" 50 watt "powered woofers". Needless to say I quickly grabbed the sucker and put down the cash for it, and with much excitement took it home. I did test it in the store, but they have 7 day cash back with receipt so no worries.
A very impressive piece, I had always heard HSU was a Bang for Buck sub, but for $70 it doesn't get anymore Bang for Buck than that. I like the sound, extension, and output. Pretty darn nice, though can't compete with the M&K MX-100 so the HSU goes in the bedroom. But who cares, I am just happy I got such a crazy deal, Yey!
I prey on the ignorance of pawnbrokers. they could have easily sold that for over $100, easily. Though I do feel sort of bad for the sap who sold it for probably $30 or less.
So if you like you can post some of your greatest deals here and your responces, Thank You.
