.....when ya score a bargain!!!

I was at work today, and one of the people i work with was saying they had a boom box that needed to go to the rubbish bin as work had written it off. I'm familiar with the boom box in question, as we use it in the holidays for music while we work, and it has absolutely excellent sound when used loud, real loud *L*. Anyway i asked him what was wrong with it. He tells me the CD drawer wont close properly, so it wont play CDs. I figure to myself, well the radio will still work, so my son (whose stereo just when dead) would at least have something, so i ask if i can take it home. No probs he says.

Home i cart thing thing, and i can say damn the thing is freaking heavy. Bilbo plugs it and and sure enough the CD door wont engage properly, he has a bit of a look see at the whole thing, dives off and grabs a screw driver, tightens a screw and be buggered it works perfectly *LOL*

So i scored an excellent expensive boom box for nothing!!! My son is absolutely wrapped. Gotta love a bargain.

Share with me your bargains/wins....i love to hear em (and experience them!)
