Hi guys,hope you are all well.Thought i'd tell you of a little find i got from ebay last week.The listing was 190368370674 the pics were not that good but they showed a couple of boxes so i thought i'd go for it and take a chance.I offered the guy £150 but they turned it down,i ended up winning it at £99 so it was a positive start.So i arrange to go collect this stuff from the guys father in laws house,he had passed away sadly but it turned out the old boy was a hoarder. I felt like a kid at xmas again,it was an alladins cave !!!!! they just kept bringing this retro stuff out ,reel to reels , 80s hifi ,boxed hifi sepereates,200 blank sealed cassettes ! 4 ghettos ,3 yamaha keyboards,80s tv games,walkmans,handheld tv,CB radios,receivers the list is endless,it was so worth the 200 mile round trip with my busted leg hurting like hell, and they were really lovely people too so it was a really pleasurable day,i've ebayed loads of it ,its gonna take me days to go through it and sort it,the best part is they gave the money to charity so i gave them a little extra for some other bits,including a Technics double keyboard that must have cost a couple of grand in the 90's,which they insisted i had for £25 :w00t:
Its not very often you drop onto things like this,especially when you get to meet great sellers aswell :yes:

Wow, what an incredible story, Andy!! That has to be close to a UK version of Canada's GordIE. :-D

Pictures of some of the booty would be lovely when you have time. How will you ever top a day like that?! :thumbsup:
