I do a bit with Bang & Olufsen stereo and television stuff and usually do not sell much. Same thing happened to me a while back as I have some rare speakers that you just do not see often, and out of the blue came an offer to sell them for a very nice profit.
They sound very nice so are still hanging on my wall, but it sure got my attention. Search engines really comb the internet it seems...

Someone I hadn't spoken to in years, found me through a search engine and found me here with comments about my old DB4 that I sold. He knew me when I had it 20 or more years ago.
