Thrift Store Vinyl Finds

Years ago I would go look at the Lps in local thrifts.
No longer.
The entire economy has faultered, and the thrifts no longer have the sort of 'goodies' they once did.
So I just am no longer willing to dig through a mountain of "Firestone Christmas" albums, nor Mitch Miller singalongs to find a few scratched up Lps I might grungingly add to my collection.
I can say I burned out on thrifts years ago.
Half Price Books is not terrible, so I still go there once in awhile.

I found a new doctor. On my 1st visit he did not make it back from lunch, ran over something in the road and caused 2 flat tires so he refunded my $85 vistit fee. Then they done my blood test work for $18 since I did not have insurance, like large corporations I am self insured.

Actually, the biggest deal I ever got was in a very well known and highly regarded used cd/record store a couple of years ago. I was thumbing thru their audiophile records and I came across the long out of print Emkay Bill Berry Ellington record jacket. They kept their audiophile jackets on the shelves and the record behind the front counter by the cash register. The jacket had a $25.00 tag on it and I could not believe the low price. I figured that once I saw the record itself it would be damaged or warn out. Certainly in this store full of knowlegable workers someone would recognize the incorrectly marked price and say it was actually $125.00. Well I asked for the record and it was in mint condition! No one questioned the price! I got it for the cheap price of $25.00! That is the stand out bargain of my record collecting life.

I've never found anything at a thrift store that I would put on my TT. I guess I'm just not very thrifty!!!!
