My brother loves a bargain. Whenever we get together he tells me about his latest conquest. What about you? Do you have an amazing bargain you'd like to boast about when buying gear or an instrument?

Each Tuesday we open our mic to readers and lurkers alike to come out of the woodwork and tell us your thoughts and opinion, your experiences and mistakes, what you love and what you hate. We want to hear from you, and here’s your chance.

Details can make a story juicier. What did you get, how did you get it, and what makes your story so amazing?
