All my vintage stereo equipment. I'm trying to buy some vintage gear now and it's crazy expensive. If only I knew then.

Shit! I found two items I wanted but they were local pickup only! Thanks for the tip.

It's a great resource. I scour it for old cast iron, Mrs. Duck for old Pyrex cookware and also for kitchen gadgets and misc tool. I inadvertantly threw away an old, stout wide blade putty knife that I used for lawn mower cleaning awhile back. Everything new is cheap Chinesium, so I just kept my eye open at estate sales. Found a good wood handled replacement a couple weeks later for a buck. Great fun too!

I recently bought a Velodyne sub at an Estate sale. Boy it sounded awesome, until the amp board failed. Then, that failure caused the woofer to go bad. Easy come, easy go.

was it considered vintage when you lost it?

No. The gear i had wasn't considered high end or even sought after. It was just OK stuff.

Argh it's so tough predicting what will gain value and what won't
