Craigslist alert in Wichita, KS

Damned shame.  A couple of weeks ago there was a nice system on Wichita CL for a cool grand.  I have family out there buy didn't have the guts to ask them to buy it for me.

You can find stuff like that on Craigslist from time to time.  Here's a way for a larger area search on the site:

Electric room dividers, they filter noise out of the air, that's why the wires. Don't forget that part or she might get suspicious.   :lol:

I found that out several months back.  From time to time, I'll take a look.  If there was something I wanted that was within reasonable driving distance (like a few hours each way), it's a nice search option to have.  I've yet to actually buy anything I Craigslist but eventually probably will.

I do pretty well buying and selling on CL.  Lotta morons out there who list incoherent ads, but virtually all my face-to-face experiences have been great.  Bought a car, TV, photo gear, and more.

I had a pair just like those back in the days. Got them from Roger Sound Labs when they had a sale, about a year or two before they closed shop. It was his personal speakers, laying against a wall in the back of his shop. Used a BGW 500D to power them. They were my 'wall of sound'. They overwhelmed my small apartment and folks always asked to see the speakers behind them. Back in those days I used to crank 'em and it took a few years before I blew a side. Got a little misty thinking about those Maggies.

Or just qualify any Google search with "site:craigslist.org".

And if you are a really rabid Craigslister buy Ad Notifier (http://www.adnotifier.com/) and be notified as ads appear...

I wonder if those are David Berning's? He has used the Tympanis ever since I knew him from the 70's.
