Did we lose a Colorado AKer recently? Sure looks like that guy belonged here!
I'm glad it's on the other side of the planet from me. My wallet and my wife are breathing sighs of relief...
Sales like that are a good reminder why we should think twice about piling up so much stuff. You can't take it with you, and the odds are really good that those who come after won't really want it.

Unless I am using it I don't have a lot of excess gear in my life. I am now in the process of selling off the bits and pieces that I will never use. The money goes to buy more music to enjoy.

Well poo, along with every other CO AKr here this is one I'm going to have to miss. I'm broke and my dads out of town so unless they will trade for kind words I'm sol.

Hmm... if everyone is missing, this may be golden opportunity.
For someone who shows up.
That could be the steal of the sale, as they have them just stacked back in a corner like a couple old buffets.
They could possibly be the most valuable item there...:yes:

Holy Crap!! My old TV transmitter site is on Squaw MT. I have driven through there so many times and now I am in Maine.
I will have to contact a friend that still lives in Evergreen.
On a side note when I turned off to head to Squaw MT there is a beautiful herd of elk that hangs out there usually 25 to 50 just spectacular!

I was there and the estate sale guy was getting bids around 2500 for them. He knew what they were and what a deal price would be. I had no idea what they were until he pointed them out to me...then I looked here of course.
Went up there around 3pm and the items I wanted to see we're gone. I was hoping to see a higher powered receiver or two at least. First hour he said there was a huge mass of people. And all the low hanging fruit were taken. Lower powered Marantz were all I knew by that time. Someone here with a much better trained eye could still find something's very interesting. Plenty of speakers still, a lot of heathkit type equipment, even a fisher 400. But none of that stuff works for me, I own a Marantz 2216 already and wanted to find a good deal on a bigger receiver. I suspect we will be seeing some of this equipment showing up on CL as the estate guy said some of his repeat customers were up there hour 1 and he had put some things out to "leave a little room" for them.
Thanks for the post, I happened to be within 20 minutes so I went to my first estate sale just to look around as I had an hour to kill. This guy had collected A LOT of different things. Was probably an interesting guy to know. But it did give me pause to be browsing his property so casually. Felt mildly odd for me if that makes any sense.
Go tomorrow or the next day and get the tubes, spare parts, raw drivers, etc, heck even those marantz, etc at better prices than they were listed for today. because there's more than likely some jewels still sitting in the open for those of you here who know what you're doing...
And again, thanks for the heads up. I took nothing say but the experience, and it was still worth it.

Thanks for update.
I know not to show up in those type of estate sales on the first day.
I usually go on the last day to see if anything worth is left.
It's impossible to beat pros.
I was once in an estate sale an hour before and the pros were there since 2am in the morning.

It's their living and they know they get one shot at it. I'm surprised folks weren't camped out there for days given the goodies shown.
I'm also surprised those Sovereigns were publicized more :scratch2: $2500 actually is a good price for those, depending on the configuration.
Spartan and Stephen j is this post what yall are talking about ? I don't get it, whats so bad about it

I was there.
I went today about 9:15. Pretty incredible estate sale. Prices a little too high right now and most of the items I would have been interested in are gone. Still a lot there. Scott stereomaster(ss not tube) for 200.00, smaller marantzs 75-120.00, thorens 300.00, bose 1801 1 channel out 200.00. So this is what i came home with.
