<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 3532256, member: 84&quot;]Friday I was in the toy aisle by the back of a local thrift store; me &amp; another reg. wait there because it&#039;s right by the doors where they roll the carts out with new merchandise going to the shelves. While waiting I peeked through the windows in the door &amp; saw the cart full of stuff being priced - and immediately noticed a big old beautiful stereo receiver on the cart. I couldn&#039;t see the make because it was sitting backwards to the doors but just by the panel on the back I knew it was something good.</p><p>I told my friend I had dibs on the stereo coming out &amp; as soon as the cart cracked the doors I touched it and told the lady I wanted this!</p><p>It turned out to be a Marantz 4270 Quadradial AM/FM receiver in beautiful condition - with a price tag of $29.95!</p><p>I took it home &amp; posted it on eBay &amp; FB market place for $750 - I had a couple of offers for $400 but decided to wait till after the week-end to see what would happen. </p><p>Sunday a guy came by my sale &amp; when he saw my vintage road bikes he told me he collected Schwinn Stingrays - and then when he saw the Marantz he made me an offer: $500 or a 1974 Schwinn 5 Speed Stingray?</p><p>I took the Stingray!</p><p>Sunday night I listed the Stingray on eBay and within a few hours I had a offer for $600 - I countered for $675 and they accepted (during this time another eBayer offered me $500 and I said I already had a $600 offer and a little later (After I accepted the $675) they messaged me asking if I&#039;d accept $725(!) but it was too late).</p><p>So I ended up making $675 on a stereo I paid $29.95 for - and that&#039;s what keeps me going back every day looking for the next &quot;WOW!&quot;</p><p>hope you like the pics!</p><p>PS - Yesterday I was at the thrift store &amp; bought a Gretsch limited edition Americana series guitar &#039;The Showdown&#039; for $19.95 - I put it on eBay last night for $350obo!</p><p>Good Hunting everyone!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]304957[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]304958[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>BELOW WAS MY FIRST VIEW OF IT &amp; I KNEW IT WAS SOMETHING GOOD!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]304959[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>BELOW WAS WHAT I TRADED IT FOR!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]304960[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]304961[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]304962[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>AND HERE IS YESTERDAY&#039;S FIND - Gretsch Limited Edition Americana Series Guitar &quot;The Showdown&quot; !</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]304963[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]304964[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
