I have been wheeling and dealing audio equipment. It all started with
2 Technical Pro LX-1000 amplifiers I bought for my drum set. Needed two because they were so under powered. They look pretty but suck. No power and poor quality (but pretty blue lights). I listed them for sale on crag's list intending to sell them and take the money and buy a real amp. Well, long story short a guy who runs a D/J business came out and traded me the two amps for a Mackie M-1200. They guy just liked they way they look. I was totally honest and told him all they do is look pretty. He traded anyway. I was of course skeptical and gave the new amp a good testing before accepting the trade. It works flawlessly. And what a monster. This amp is just "drunk" with power.
About the same time I bought those LX-1000 amps I bought a pair of 10" 3 way speaker cabinets by Acoustic Audio model BR-10 (again not top of the line stuff) They have been sitting in a closet since I got my new JBL EON speakers to monitor the drum set. I listed them in the add as well. Another guy contacted me about a trade for an acoustic drum set and after some negotiating* I gave a guy my old BR-10 speakers (maybe worth $50.00), my wireless mic set (worth about $15.00) (came as a free gift with the old crap amps), my old Gemini Mixer (worth about $10.00) and $200 cash. I got a 5 piece Ludwig kit that looks brand new (new wrap) and is one of the better sounding acoustic kit I have played with Sabian hi-hats and a newer 2 leg swivel hi-hat stand. I do not have cymbals for it yet and the pictures are of it thrown together in my living room.
