One store had someones whole collection of excellent quality lp's. The guy ahead of me got there first, so his shopping cart had many more than mine, but mine had quite a few. We're talking a couple hundred.
Purchased so much vintage electronics I can't begin to even try to list it all. I once had a vintage Dual turntable at the checkout that only needed a new stylus and mentioned that to the checkout gal. She said since it was defective, it goes at half price, which was $7.50!
Once I found a huge pair of vintage Altecs that were not labeled, but I could just make out the chrome dust caps on the woofers, so I asked them for a screwdriver to remove the back to check the drivers for names. No problem! $25 bucks!
Most of these finds were during the stock market boom years when everybody was making money, and were getting rid of the old to buy new. I was always finding excellent vintage gear nobody seemed to want anymore. Those days are few, and far between now.
