Think of what you are buying- crap people got rid of prior to

Well I mainly look for the nicer audio gear, tube based electronics,
and old analog synthesizer keyboards. Good thing is, the Goodwills
seem fairly clueless as to any value the stuff may have. Example: I
bought a mint condition Roland Juno-106 keyboard sans pwr cable for
$19.99. Street value is at least 350$ in nice cond./working order.
They regularly sell solid state organs you can't *give* away for
60-100$. Still waiting to find some old Moog or Sequential
stuff....:-)

I've made decent money on Ebay scooping up the old Marantz stuff for a
few bucks, cleaning it up and taking care of any issues. At least it
ends up with someone who actually wants it and won't shove it into the
garage to rot.



****, if my Salvation Army had stuff like that... I'd never leave!!!! I
don't think mine has ANY music stuff.
