It's less than a mile from my house, so I went at 5:15AM to get a number or pass them out. Luckily, I got 10 and 11 as someone was already there and I didn't get stuck with number duty on a frosty Michigan morning. They let in 12, so I was in the first wave.
Prices were good, but merchandise was iffy. #1 and #2 got the Madrids for $75, the 6V6 garage amp, unpriced but certainly less than $20, the mystery homebrew speaker with RCA inputs behind the bike for $200, the Kenwood Eleven and the 2 Pioneer cassette decks in the stack. The mahogany cabinets housed some EV 12TRXBs for $75. Bose 501s in foreground were $100
. We were allowed to mark items as sold and sequester them by the worker running the basement.
A LOT of the stuff was mid/low end so I anticipated a lot will left until Saturday. LPs were $4/ea and the record guys got a couple armloads. I looked at a few and they were in excellent shape, but I'm cutting back and I didn't find anything interesting enough to pick up or upgrade too.
I picked up 3 things; The SAE amp is fine, a Sony STR-6055 that has a raspy channel and a Dual turntable needs some lube and adjustment. I may stop back a couple times as it is a 4 day sale and I can walk there if I wanted to.
