Onkyo P3200 pre-amp at Savers for $13.50....it sat there for three weeks today was half off...not as good as the Onkyo P3030 I have but does not have channel problems.

The P3030 will go to the powered Tannoy studio monitors in the garage for exercise bike duty.


Rudyard Kipling Selected Prose and Poetry hard back 1936 edition.....SCORE!

i have a kick ass Savers.

I'd take your word for it

Old books are becoming hard to come by here nowadays, at least affordably. I was lucky, I went on a binge in the early 90s. Still working through some of them.

Books are being landfilled by the ton.

In 20 years vintage books will be worth big bucks.

One Goodwill told me all old looking hardback donations are being sorted and sold to booksellers as well.

I am hating goodwill because they put the good stuff on auction.
Savers will actually put old "rare" books (Like Benjamin Disraeli novels) out on the shelfs. There was this old biography of Washington yesterday that looked ancient (multi-volume). I should have got that but not into non-fiction right now.

The only thing audio that GW does not auction are speakers now it seems to me because they are too hard to ship.

New stack of albums at the Value Village today! Lots of them were lightly scratched so I passed, but managed to find 8 clean ones that I didn't already have in the collection (I have my album list on my phone so I don't buy duplicates).

Styx- Crystal Ball
Outlaws- Lady in Waiting
AC/DC- For those about to Rock
AC/DC- Highway to Hell
Tom Petty- Tom Petty
Van Halen- Van Halen
Dr. Hook- Greatest Hits
Molly Hatchet- The Deed is Done

$6.16 for the lot.

That's the first Molly Hatchet and the first Outlaws I've come across.
