I wasn't really looking for an audio setup but I stumbled across a Yamaha preamp/amp combo plus a couple of speakers, all for less than $400. I didn't realize what I passed up until the next day, but it was too late by then.

OTOH, I'm still looking to stumble across a $50 Linn LP12 turntable at an estate sale....

Ditto, estate sales and yard sales.

I picked up a pair of vintage AR speakers and a Rotel receiver for $5 a couple years ago at a sale, and last Summer a lady at a yard sale gave me a perfectly fine working Nikko integrated amp because she wasn't sure if it worked or not.

  $25 for a pair of Mission 701. Not as good a deal as the $6 pair of Energy mini speakers that I found at a fund-raising sale for a dance school. But not a bad 2.0 setup if combined with the NAD 705 receiver I scooped from the scrap metal bin at the recycling yard.
  
  Don't get discouraged if you go to the thrift store and only see junk... they tend to price good and bad the same, so not surprisingly, good stuff sells faster. Find out if there's a day when they put out new goods, or just make it a habit to check every week or so.
