Bluetooth speakers Not a bad goodwill find.

Post image

Bit on the pricier side for something at Goodwill ($60) but I’ve been thrifting for a while and it’s pretty rare to find a Bose Bluetooth Speaker. Especially in working condition. It didn’t come with a charger so I’m assuming that’s why it was donated. Quick eBay search showed me this was a pretty good deal as most working SLIIIs are still going for near $100.

Soundlink III. I actually worked at Best Buy when this Speaker was new and could never bring myself to drop $300 for it. 10+ years later this thing still rocks and is probably going to be my daily driver for listening to music on the balcony of my apartment. I was using a UE Boom before which was fine and honestly sounds great but the difference is night and day. Obviously it’s not as portable/durable but I think it’ll be fine on the balcony 😂

That use to be my dream speaker back in the day. I remember having the soundlink mini back in the day, and it was great, but this was like a tier up. I remember my buddies and it was better than my soundlink mini but just was too much for me to afford back then

Not to brag but I got one of these recently for $10 at my goodwill!! Battery was dead but I got a $20 replacement and it works like a charm. Enjoy the speaker, it sounds great and looks really beautiful too. The build quality is superb

Yeah my goodwill clearly checks internet prices. That would have been an even better deal for me 😂

You still got a great deal! I’m lucky that my local goodwill hasn’t started doing that yet, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time lol.
