Re: Video Game "Finds of the Day"
Thanks to the power of the internet and Craigslist I have successfully traded the
Korg Poly-800 I got a few weeks back with a Yamaha DX-7.
Albeit a VERY HEAVILY used and gigged with DX-7 that has lots of scratches
and a hole on the back of each end cap. But it's a DX-7 and nonetheless still my dream
synth.It's especially great when I only paid $140 on that Poly-800. I essentially got the thing for
a third of what they usually go for!
Later on in the day I managed to luck into a pair of amazing vintage Marantz LS-15A speakers at
goodwill for only $10! Went home and plugged them up for a quick test and they sound phenomenal.
These things look sick and have all aluminum tweeters and midranges! The woofer foam has dry
rotted from age, but that's a quick and dirt simple fix.
Overall today was a very good day.

Re: Video Game "Finds of the Day"
so this lady I work with just brought me in a gigantic box. In it was a NES, controllers, light gun, Advantage, one of those mats to run on, and about 50 games. I'll go into more detail later when I can sort thru it all... but there was lots of A-titles in there... Zeldas, Mega Mans, Marios, Castlevanias, etc.

it's more of the same. She and her husband are re-doing their house one room at a time. So the first box of stuff was from one room, now this is from the next room!aaron wrote:this happened again? i thought you already got this.noiseredux wrote:so this lady I work with just brought me in a gigantic box.
