  • Stopped by Godar Electronics today with some electronics in need of attention prior to sale. It's a sign you're getting older when the amplifier you bought in college is now vintage and collectible. Oh well. I called Mike Godar in advance of my visit, so I knew what to expect. Or at least I thought I did. The quoted price, $135, was quite a bit more than the $80 or so I had expected. Apparently my internal pricing mechanism is now vintage as well. A quality repair, however, was needed if I was to sell the amp on eBay for top dollar. Instead, when I arrived Mike surprised me by making a cash offer for the amp on the spot. I negotiated a $75 improvement in his offer and decided to go ahead take it. He'll double his money and I'll avoid a repair bill, another trip to Gilbert, a time consuming eBay listing and the joy of figuring out how to inexpensively ship an amp that is roughly the same weight as a Volkswagen. Everyone wins, but I can't help but think that the original $135 repair estimate was just a little expensive and a factor in my decision to sell. Mike seemed to be a stand up guy during the actual purchase negotiation, however, quoting online price listings consistent with those with which I was familiar. I'd award him 4.5 stars if I could. The shop is fun to visit. Lots of old radios, turntables, amplifiers... piled all about. I'm not sure how much longer Godar will be here. It's across the street from some spots like the Barrio Queen and the location must have real estate developers salivating. There aren't that many places in town that fix vintage electronics. Let's hope Mike is around a bit longer.
