Another bucket list accomplished.

I am so stoked right now. Another bucket list goal accomplished.
When I owned my home, I had a small Sony unit in my master bedroom. It has a 5 CD changer, and a cassette player on top. It was in mint condition.
With all that I went through...I managed to lose the remote. A few months later I was able to find the original remote brand new on eBay (still in the packaging).
A few more months later....little did I know that I would end up losing all my possessions. With the few stuff I was able to load in my car...I had no idea that in a small black basket, I had placed that new remote in there.
So now I have the opposite problem. I had the remote, but no longer had my Sony unit. I went on eBay and could not find it. I searched other online places with no luck.
Well... I decided I was going to keep the remote and ask God to go on a search for it, and bring it to me when He could. I wanted to have it in the same mint condition mine was in; but knew it was a tall order with the amount of time that had passed, and a lot of folks don't always keep their stuff in great condition. Plus... The unit was no longer available for sale.
Last night as I was searching on eBay...my gut told me to search for that unit. I had not done a search in a while. Six years had passed so I was not holding my breath.
Once I put in the search...I started skimming the results and could not believe what I saw. It was the EXACT same unit I had. I pulled up the listing and all the pics showed it to be in mint condition. He provide a 1:33 minute video to show all the components worked.
I asked how the tweeters were and if there was any popping or crackling. It was hard to hear in the video. He said no. In fact... He told me that a little old lady once owned it, and she barely used it.
I was like whoa.... God did it! He not only found me the unit, but it was in mint condition! Whoo Hooo!!!!! I asked him if he had the remote that went with it? He told me "no...there is no remote"... I wrote back...that's because I have it. I told him the story I just told you.
He was selling it for $200. I talked him down to $170. He is putting it in the mail tomorrow. I am just ecstatic that I am getting back my original player.
This little unit has excellent good quality sound. Now that I have a cassette player again...I am going to go on a search for some old tapes that are no longer on the market that I once owned.
God is so cool and good!!!
I am uploading a pic of the front of the unit to show you how good of a condition it is in. Before I purchased it, I compared it to the only one photo I have where I originally had it sitting in my bedroom...and it matches it perfectly. I know it is the same unit.
Some folks are big believers in Amazon. I have never had that much luck finding things I like. But boy! Does God ever use eBay to help me get back the things I have lost.
