Scored big time! [View all]

After years of hearing upon arriving at garage and estate sales that someone bought all the records earlier in the day it's my turn to be that guy.

Garage sale of a auction storage unit. Not much really as I was leaving inquired about records. "Yeah haven't dug them out yet, maybe later". Well came back after running quick errands and asked again he went and started hauling out 5 big boxes.

From the first look I knew this was going to cost me. Lucky I had most so I could leave gems for others to find.

Seller told me he might have to pull some of my choices if HE wanted them as he hadn't gone through them.

Pulled 73 for myself, as he went through them i could see him yank a couple and mutter to himself.

Still he let me have all 73 for $200.
8 early stones
6 pink floyd
Were some of the gems among many other 1960 1970 classics. Most have plastic sleeves all pristine.

The best part is leaving behind 4 boxes for someone else to find what they looking for.
I buy for myself and don't do resell.
