punktigerSo yesterday was one of the monthly Flea@MIT events in Cambridge, MA. A friend and I usually head up there each month for a myriad of reasons. This time, I wasn't looking for anything in particular, but I managed to score some deals this time around.
First was some unopened Maxell 7" reel-to-reel tapes. Not exactly a deal at $10 apiece, but on par with the prices on that popular online auction site.
I also picked up a few CDs. Peter Gabriel's "Us", David Byrne's "Look Into The Eyeball", and a surprisingly delightful compilation CD called "Nordic Roots (1)" on the Northside label. All three for $5. Not bad.
But the big money (no Whammies... STOP!) deal of the day is what I call "the Instant MiniDisc Collection." Three fully-functioning, portable Mini Disc players, two headphones with remotes, NOS (New Old Stock) rechargeable battery, AA battery adapter, and 52 mini-discs with case for $20. I've been auditioning some of the discs, and the music on them are a real mixed bag. So far, I've only found one disc that I'm going to be erasing, as the music is NOT to my taste (it has Christian rock on it... bleh.)
As a side note, I just now looked up MiniDiscs on that popular online auction site, and my eyes have been opened. I didn't realize just how MASSIVE this bargain was. Some of these things are going for STUPID money.
