Re: [IRCA] IRCA Digest, Vol 164, Issue 14

Hi Patrick,

Wow, you've had some great Goodwill finds lately! Now I know where all the
electronics bargains have gone-- to the smaller Goodwill stores! I used to
go to the main Seattle Goodwill (near downtown) during my lunch hour at
work, but they wised up to the most valuable electronics. These better
items are pulled aside for their online sales now.

I'll be DXing near Tillamook next month so I'll have to check out the
Goodwill store there.

My best Goodwill finds over time include a nice Zenith Trans-Oceanic Royal
1000-1 model for $6.95, but the best by far was a rare Stax brand
electrostatic headphones amplifier that is sought after in the audiophile
hobby. It was selling for $29 at the Puyallup Goodwill, but I sold it on
Ebay for over $400... and I didn't even have the proper electrostatic
headphones to test it with.

73,

Guy Atkins
Puyallup, WA
