Hello Everyone. I just found and bought for 10 bucks a fully working Conion C100F from a Salvation Army thrift store in Skokie, IL. I CANT BELIEVE IT. I was walking past the shelf of electronics and I looked down and low and behold it was sitting on the floor. Thrift stores today almost always check online to see a estimate cost and price accordingly by condition and age. I was also glad the price was on it because a lot of times the price isn't there on the electronics/big ticket items and policy is you have to wait till tomorrow till management creates a price and places it back on shelf. Also the known expensive electronics are placed in a locked glass cabinet behind the registers and you have to ask to look at those items. I almost fell over with excitement and grabbed it as fast as superman folding on laundry day. Too excited when I went to register to purchase and on the trip back home almost hugging it. After testing I video called my family and they could not believe it. Only problem found is a cracked plexiglass on tape deck and broken antennas.

Damn, the stores around me don't even have anything decent nevermind something like that.
They obviously didn't know anything about it, I mean seriously, Conion?, it sounds made up and the box itself is a little crazy looking.
They were probably glad to get rid of it, lol.
Congrats.

I found an m90 in the pawn shop in the exact same way . had to pay 250 bucks but that was fifteen years ago. I also found a vz2000 in that same pawn shop over 25 years ago. Both times I had the exact same feeling I just couldn't believe it and I was smiling all the way home couldn't wait to get the damn thing home.

You lucky bastard. I’ve gotten some insane deals at goodwill myself, a Sony CD player worth $300+ for $2, some rare and valuable video games, a set of Yamaha NS-500 speakers from 1977 for $10 at the same time as a set of Bose 301 series II for $8, the list goes on, but you, sir, take the cake with this one.
