I got to dig around in the piles of old gear at a car audio place that been around since 1990. I found a lot of neat stuff.

I didnt buy anything. The owner still wants full retail for a lot of stuff but there were a few cool things. A set of coustic DR 100 watt amps there were used for display. There was one tantrum that he wanted like 450 for and some ZAPCO amps that he wanted 1200 for the pair . The guy that was letting me get into stuff was telling me that all of the speakers were sold to him at cost long ago. Oh. There was some USA made Aura stuff and I wanted to look up calcell. I remember the name form somewhere but cant find anything solid on them.

Nice!
The older Coustic and Aura stuff was actually pretty nice. Calcell was kind of a low budget knock-off brand. Similar to modern day Boss Audio or Power Acoustic.
Too bad the guy is trying to get full retail for this stuff

I am.pretty sure I know now but its cool he wants retail for everything even stuff that isn't mint. All you my man! I don't play the retail game on used stuff! Also I am getting out of the used market too much risk anymore.

not sure I agree about the used game. I think the older models are just as reliable as well as easier to work on if something does happen.

I am talking about buying and selling in a whole not the new vs used game, there are just too many loop holes on eBay and PayPal siding with buyers I have had a good run of 4 + years. I will still pick up the rare amp on occasion but I am not going to out of my way to look. I got to get my eclipse build going!
