A Tektronix 7603 oscilloscope mainframe -- which I wanted -- with a 7A18 and 7B53A plugins (and a rare blanking plate) that had emitted its magic smoke along with a working Solartron CD1440 oscilloscope mainframe & plugins that worked, but that I didn't want. The pair: £30.
If it's audio-only, maybe a fully-working HK T-403 tuner for £10 or a fully-working Yamaha CA-710 for, if I recall correctly, £15.

Not with audio gear, but with a computer keyboard on a local forum.
I always wanted a terminal (RJ45) IBM Model M for my little collection and this dude had one for sale, US$50 he said he wanted, but i offered him a much more modern Outemu board i had gotten for US$20, he promptly accepted, and now i have a pair of Model Ms!

Is Vinyl revival mean record players have become popular again and prices shot up? Since what year has this happened?
I'm surprised I sold 2 vintage record players for around £150. Dual CS-505 1 and Technics BD22D.
i got a pair of Ohm Walsh 2XOs in excellent condition for $230 Delivered

According to Wikipedia ... the Vinyl revival took place around 2007 ... sounds about right if memory serves me well.

So many, but the most recent I can remember, Sony DVP-CX777ES in silver with remote for $63.

I just recently scored an AT 440mla cart/stylus in factory packaging for $30. It had been listed for parts/not working--turns out one of the lead wires was bad, and I have a drawer full of those (better than the crappy ones they include with a cart anyways). Listed as low hours, but for $30 all I wanted was the body--turns out that it really was low hours (cleaned it and put it under a scope and the diamond was perfect).
I scored a 1928 Olds "Standard" professional-line trombone on eBay for $54 including shipping. It had some condition issues, but it played so superbly that I had no trouble justifying the price of a repair shop visit. It's the best-playing small-bore trombone I've ever laid my hands on.

The bronze Quads, for $1500. That is $500 more than the going rate for a unrestored working pair, but I call that a 'score' because they were like new, all original, babied by being incorrectly set for 240V, with nearly perfect screens, and not even dusty - stored sealed for decades. With restored pairs running $4K, and new ones at $12K, the price was right, too. I auditioned them on a Saturday, met the seller's asking price, and he ended the auction when I paid him with PayPal as he watched. He was glad they went to someone who appreciated them, as was I. 
I use Fat Fingers, http://www.fatfingers.com/Default.aspx to find spelling errors. Got a lot of stuff, like computer parts, vintage audio, test equipment because somebody couldn't spell.
