Man, that place is great. Best of Sinatra "The Capitol Years", Yo-Yo Ma SACD and Elton John "The One" CDs for 1.99 ea. I am surprised at how good the Sinatra CD sounds.

    I've picked up a few classical CD's and a Flim And The BB's CD once. But I never have any luck with CD's or gear anymore in GW or SA's.

    After hundreds of hours spent browsing various Goodwill's for CD's and LP's, I have not once found anything worthy of a purchase. Congrat's to all of those who have. *jealousy slightly sets in* :sad:

    When I was building my Jazz collection I would some good stuff at pawnshops in the Portland OR area. But I have not found the same in So Cal area. I guess it comes down to what is more dominate in your area. Portland has a big Jazz following

    I got very lucky at Goodwill, I found a pair of B&W 686 in mint condition for $60!!! These speakers sound way better than my Polk RTi-A1. Build quality and the parts that are used in these B&W 686 speakers are very high quality. I sold my Polks and kept the B&W.

    From what I have seen in recent years, from internet forum posts, OR. is a goldmine for vintage gear and vintage guitars!

    I've had great luck at Half-Price Books in the Midwest. I don't think their buying system allows them to differentiate a MFSL, DCC, or Audio Fidelity CD or LP from the main title. I have picked up about 50 premium LP's and CD/SACD at the regular prices.
