What I learned on Craigslist

[Old Stuff]

Its amazing that the 2 year old was able to get to both speakers to punch them in.

What I like about CL is, being just a audio 'commoner', I can find just about everything I already own there with some frequency. With patience in searching, I have been able to find out that all of my junk is already 'High End', which has saved me a lot of money on upgrades.

My selling price should be set because the lowballer says the reason is "...that is my budget..."

I guess my next ad should be price is whatever you budget is.

 

[HiFi in WYO]

Today on CL, I learned that hotel towels and gaffing tape make wonderful surround material.

"MARANTZ 1515 3WAY LIQUID COOLED. WITH CROSSOVER WIRES INSIDE."

All of this audiophile quality workmanship can be yours for $75! Not mine, no affiliation.

Hey you can soak up any extra cooling liquid with those towels too.

I saw that ad! I immediately thought of Elizabeth McGovern riding around on a vacuum cleaner.

Elizabeth Montgomery - as in "Bewitched"

I always thought those old Sansuis were DOGs.

That's a Sansui Retriever.

No bones about it. They drive your woofers well. Well enough to blow the bark off the trees when you unleash 'em.

Dang it, I missed the low hanging fruit. I must be slipping.

I was kinda surprised you missed that one...................

 

[Windwalker]

an ad for a single HPM100
"This speaker alone pushes 1500watts it will shake ur walls in ur house it was custom made"

WOW pioneer made custom stuff

 

[Wildcat]

I think a person's IQ drops by 34 points each time they write "ur". Or IOW, the type of person selling their "custom made" Pioneers.

What's that guy smoking?

I wanna see this ad if it's still up!

A Dual 1009 SK was made in the 1940s, as was a solid state amp, and if you pull the TV out of a console it's a great idea to put in an electric fireplace to replace it.

[toxcrusadr]

How in the world did he figure that this console was built in (precisely) 1948-49? To be that exact but so totally wrong... They weren't even making stereo consoles prior to 1950, period. Not for about 10 years yet. And this one looks like 1968-69...

 

[macgolf]

From the ad
"Cabinet styling by Deilcraft (Dominion Electrohome Ind. Ltd., Kitchener ON). Electrohome solid state radio equipped for satellite sound. Dual 1009 SK phonograph needs a needle. Both in working condition built in 1948 or 1949. Area behind sliding doors for a TV (was removed because it did not work) or for example, an electric fireplace. $50.00"

Satellite sound 8 years before satellites? That's some forward thinking engineering right there!

 

[Luckyorleans]

Should make it $500 for the time machine feature.
