For me, it's easy. :yes:

Finding a working M70 in great condition for $30 AUD. Going to find it really hard to beat that.

What have been your best finds???

two really nice pc550s for under twenty bucks each.
i guess hmmm i think also getting not one but two kabooms for free was cool too.
its hard to just pick one. i mean theres different reasons why i like some of the stuff i scored.
getting a dead mint box is always fun too. i mean thats only happened a few times. my sk-95 really looked like it just came from a store.

Conion C-100.
Recieved a phone call from one of my 'Boombox Wanted' flyers.

Wasnt even sure if i would ever see one let
alone find one in the wild.

Guy said he wanted $50 but i gave him $70. Not really
sure why but the guy said he was using the $$ for beer, i
guess i thought he deserved more beer :lol:

The wheely just trumps all other boxes in size it's silly. When put the Lasonic TRC-975 Jumbo next to the Wheely you have to laugh because there is nothing "jumbo" about the 975 compared to the Wheely :lol: .

Also, it makes all my boxes look small so having new ones show up on my door step from ebay I am always dissapointed with the size :yes: :lol: :-D

A couple of great deals stand out for me!

(1)A M-90 for 279.00!! All works except the deck-cleaned up real nice! In very good condition!

(2)A near mint Sanyo M9998 for 34.00!!!

(3) Last but not least as Pioneer CK-5 in mint condition 175.00!!

I usually get my grails for cheap!

There are many more deals but these 3 are the ones that come to mind first.
Have a great week-GB. :-) :yes:
