Right place at the right time....

I have, over the years haunted pawn shops always looking for the rare underpriced item.

Yesterday, I picked up a 3rd Generation 4g Ipod still in the sealed factory box, and a Roland Microcube Amp.

Amazon lists the Ipod at $59.99 used, and Musicians Friend lists the Microcube at $129.00. Plus whatever shipping costs might be applied.

After thoroughly checking the amp by playing it for about a half an hour, I walked out with it and the Ipod for......

$80.00

Feels good to take the pawn shop, because I've been jacked in the past with interest charges when I've needed cash on the fly.

nice.

$80 for that amp alone would be a deal.
