Howdy forum,my name is Ceco [tsetso],i'm 23 and i live in Bulgaria.A few weeks ago i bought my first boombox - GF-777z!
I've got a short boombox story to tell you.
Back in the days when Bulgaria was a part of the Solviet Union there was no place where you can buy any 'western' goods except from the Corecom stores.These dream places for the bulgarian people were opened only for foreign visitors and you can do shopping only with US dollars which were also forbidden to have.On the black market $1 = 3levs (lev is the BG currency).The average Joe's month salary was around 120levs,if we do the math for a box like 777 you had to give your year pay and still can't because it's not allowed.One day my father came up with a very profitable idea,he met a group of vietnamese university students (studying in BG) who agreed to buy anything he wants from the Corecom for a small cut of the future profit.....and he started making some serious cash from selling boomboxes and other electronics to the masses,
highly overpriced off course.But he made a mistake when he quit his regular job,back then if you dont have one certain people come to your home to see why are you not working,there was no such thing as unemployement and a person who doesn't have a job and spends loads of cash was quite suspicious.They knew something was going on and one day he was busted with $600 and thrown in jail for a while.One of his buds got beaten by the cops for wearing shirt with Marlboro written on it. xD
Sorry if there are any mistakes comrades.

So is this how you 1st became interested in bbx's 
s--ks what happened to your old man 
. Good value (profit i mean 
) were the cheap double cassette boxes (hitachi trk w55w for example). Some people are saying different stories but we use to have some underground party on week basis anyway. Break battles on cardboard in remote areas were "must" if you want to be cool
