    If you are looking for bargains at thrifts, you have to make an instant decision on the buy. Blink you eyes or take your hand off of it and consider it gone. It's important to know what is a deal or not.

    Last pair of JBL L-100s I bought at the SA had a price of 5 point 99 each. It was half price day. It didn't take a day to decide on that one.

    If you've read my posts, I'm ashamed to say, half of them are about how cheaply I've gotten my system. I'd say that the 'luck' I've had getting it only proves that God must love PolkAudio speakers and wants He me to have them.

    I don't have an 1/8 of the budget for my entire system (and my new obsession) as what some posters put into single components or subs. Seriously. So $30 for a thriftstore to my budget is steep. Really steep. Unless I know what I'm getting can either replace what I have (so I can sell it) or I can straight out sell what I find... Then $30 clams isn't a bad deal to me.

    ? Harmon Kardon AVR 55 (dead; replacing with Onkyo TX NR-616)
    ? Polk RTA 11TL's (FR and FL)
    ? Polk TSi200's (RR and RL)
    ? Polk CS10 (Center)
    ? Polk PSW-350
    ? Grado SR-60i Headphones
    ? Fii0 E5 headphone amp
    ? iPod touch (8 gig)
    ? iPod Classic (80 gig)
    ? Mac Mini (as media server)
    ? xbox 360

    There is nothing wrong with building a system from Thrift store finds. I've seen a lot of good stuff over the years. It's amazing sometimes what gets donated. My turntable and one of my TFM-55's were thrift buys. Be happy with what you have until you can get what you want. It's the music that matters.
