I got a realistic reverb for £3 but had to spend £1.154 to fix a dodgy pot but very happy

Yardsales have been my best friends lately:

Yamaha DD55 (the big one) - $5
Blue Man Group keyboard - $2
PSS-470 - $11
CZ-101 - $40
FIVE Barbie DJ Karaoke Echo thingies (and they all work)!! - $1 to $3.95 ea.

Now if I could just find that many Hing Hon's floating around.

cz101 is great little machine, big bass.. i also payed 40 for mine

found 2 tascam dat recorders in the street few weeks ago, but i already have a marantz cd recorder deck wich i
use as master recorder (found for 15 euro in the fleemarket

)
so i sold them for 75 euro
not long before that i got a emu proteus 2 for 15 euro (little work) and an esi 32 with full options for 20 euro
as well as a dx7 with expanded memory and backlight for 60 euro
btw, i have about 5 or 6 19" delay's , never payed more than 25 orso for them, wich i also found great deals,
theyre very freaky machines by the way, in series, cross feedbacking etc... nice

anyways, good times for cheap hardware

let them all switch to zero's and one's and leave their old machines
for the freaks

What, like thrift store dumpsters? PM me if you don't want to say it on the forum.

Plus, I live in LA. I'm guessing most of the people on here live on a different continent.

LoFi-Ninja · August 11, 2009, 10:10:04 PM

No thrift stores. Only dumpsters filled with electronics. Where to find them is your own headache..

SineHacker · August 11, 2009, 10:28:18 PM

haha, yeah I'd be hard pressed around here.

MAGTIG · August 16, 2009, 07:00:12 AM

I'm three for three Saturday's on the yardsale circuit:

Gleix · August 17, 2009, 12:45:43 PM

Really nice adjustable keyboard stand for $4
A kawasaki drum machine (4 pads) - $1
Two atari joysticks for $2

I found a Commodore C64C + Datasette and power supply in the dump yesterday.. Weee

I want to know where this dump is .......

There was a good one here but they relocated it and now the damned thing is like a fortress. No piking bendables for me anymore.

My girlfriend approves mind you. "Let's go for a walk" soon started to meet the instant reply of "fuck off we're not walking past the dump"
