ok, this is a thread to share any bargain or interesting finds.
they can be on ebay, other forums, store specials, etc, etc...(this is NOT the place to advertise your own gear though!)
**disclaimer: posters take no responsibility for the validity of any items described/linked to in this thread. if you see an item mentioned or linked here, that you are interested in, AS ALWAYS, BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT PURCHASING - GENERALLY IF IT APPEARS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT LIKELY IS!!
(mods: i don't believe this is against any rules of MEA, but if it is (a similar thread exists on SNA) then by all means, close the thread.)
ok, here's my contirbution (which really, does seem too good to be true, so take with a grain of salt)

8 days left on that auction and I guarantee they will go for over 1000 euro each. Might be worth while keeping an eye on it.
Here is something I just picked up cheap.

Only bidder, very lucky no one else saw it.

50m of 2 gauge
100m of 4 guage
$10
sorry spyne I will elaborate: I work at a hardware store, which has a few chains around the place. One of these stores shut down last year and they sent all the stock to our store as we are the main hub.
Turns out some one who worked at the store that closed down ordered heaps of power wire from jaycar through the business. As i was working at electrical at the time it all came to me in a shopping trolley, i said to the boss can i buy this?
His reply: sure its yours for 10 dollars!

people...links, store names.
the idea of this thread was not so much to say what bargains u have got in the past, but more to spread the word for other bargains or interesting finds you've discovered.

Maybe move to the FS section and have it stickied? I've seen that on another forum, works well.

Don't share ones you want to bid on! 
Keep the goodies for yourself, but if you see a bargain that YOU don't want, by all means let us know.

5krms for $600. Earthquake PHD10,000/2
Not sure if it is a cheap price, but good $/watt
Edit: Just checked, other people have been selling them for twice the price Jump on it!
Also, rules of this thread is that; Whoever gets the bargain by looking on this thread must post that they bought it to prove that this thread will help MEA members get bargains

Certainly great $$$ per watt but they are getting older now. If I wanted big power I'd definitely consider it, worth $600 for sure. My Earthquake PH2000/w1.1 (1000W) retails for $999 now!
