• Speakers: You can find listings for new and used speakers, including specific models like the JBL Flip 5 or brand-focused equipment.
  • A Facebook group called "buy & sell sound system lebanon" features postings for brands like Pioneer and Kenwood, and various speakers and amplifiers.
  • Posts in Facebook Marketplace have included tower speakers from brands like Sony and Polk Audio.
• Microphones: These groups can also be useful for finding specialized or niche microphone models. 

• Inspect and test before you buy: If possible, ask the seller to demonstrate that the item is in working condition. For speakers, check for distortion and listen for any buzzing or rattling sounds. For microphones, ask for a test recording to listen for any unusual noise or low output.
• Check the cosmetic condition: Examine the speakers for damage to the cones and surrounds. For microphones, inspect for dents, loose parts, and signs of moisture damage.
• Research the product: Look up images of the original product to ensure all components, such as tweeters and woofers, are the correct ones.
• Beware of fakes: Be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true, especially for popular brands like Shure or Neumann, as counterfeit versions exist.
• Ask about the item's history: Ask the seller about the usage history, any repairs, and whether the items have been stored in a smoke-free environment.
