    Hello Steve; Antique stores have been known to overprice the merchandise. There are many $1 & less records in those bins, priced way above the vic. A Katana sword hanging on the wall in your record room would look good, along with the Dad's Fix It Shop sign. Talking Heads, nice that you got it back. Take care, Tina & Pat!!~

      Funny you mentioned a sword. I have a true Kumdo sword, Korean version of a katana sword. I was a black belt in the discipline When getting the black belt we bought our sword, quite expensive. I even went to Korea to cut with the master instructors. In the flood my sword got ruined badly rusted. I finally found someone that could clean it properly and knew its value. I got it back a week ago and it’s now on my mantle. I looked at their pretend swords at the shop, I am now once again a lethal weapon lol

    Donuts down that way too which was nice. haha. I thought they were working on building your new annex The Steve Carlson Museum. I’ll put up Untouchables Decade of Dance vs that Talking Heads album as best live album ever.

    Does Earl Scheib have a booth at that antique mall? When we had the brick and mortar record store I had a customer who would buy records out of our $1.00 bins and sell them in his much smaller record shop down the road lol. He would mark them up to $4.99. Glad we could help lol. WOW no outer sleeves and price stickers snack on the front cover. And those prices! 😮 That’s the kind of record store where you’ll find a $1,000 rarity in the dollar bin. 😂 $12.99 for Shawn Cassidy?! Bonkers! Cool Taxi Driver soundtrack!

      My friend in MI with the store has a very big dollar room but also a lot of $5 album. A guy who owns a store about 40 miles away would come to his store to stack up on inventory. I visited his store, smaller little college town, but man his prices were kind of steep. It would seem a lot of people with no business acumen do this ad ten wonder why they crash and burn

    Hiya Steve.
    The records you looked at… the store was nice but the records looked like the kind you see underneath a rusty bike and a broken ping pong table in a garage.
    Was that snobbish of me? Ok, car-hole.
    I’m very tempted to get Stop Making Sense, and that one in particular.
    Have a lovely weekend Steve.

    Yep, those antique stores aren't so much honey holes these days. I still look, but I tend to claim victory when I can find a record for what it's "worth" according to Discogs. At least I save the shipping, right? My wife & I were in Colorado Springs a few years back and I stopped in to Earth Pig (didn't score) and Independent Records (scored some nice finds), but missed out on Oddball. Wish I hadn't! Anyway, I read somewhere that Independent closed shop a year or so ago, which is a bummer. They had some really nice prices and selection.

    Hmm slim pickings in the store you showed. Reminds me of some of the UK antique shops I go to - I usually come away pretty disappointed. I noticed the Shaun Cassidy records, I don’t think anyone would want those. Over here the equivalent racks are full of Leo Sayer and David Essex.

      @stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Ah yes, Leo Sayer, we have a lot of those in the bargain bins. Not so much David Essex but a lot of his stuff may not gotten released here except for Rock On, a song I really love but the rest of the album is so so. Times have changed John, harder to find a bargain.

    I have to say, that store would not be my cup of tea. I spied so many dollar bin records going for 15 to 20 bucks. Those Anne Murray albums fetch almost nothing here - and she’s Canadian! The vinyl also didn’t seem to be in good shape. If you’re going to price Al Martino records as if they were Dark Side of the Moon, at least have them in mint condition! They still have buck bins around here. I was in a store last weekend and they were selling records at 10 cents apiece. I picked up 90 - including about 20 or-or-so classical box sets in wonderful condition. When I was paying for them, the guy behind the counter said, “Take whatever else you want for free, we need to get rid of them.” I also don’t think they really know what “Oddball Records” really are. Ella Fitzgerald? I could show them some records that would make their eyes spin.

After the flood some guy sent me three big boxes of them. He apologized haha. Pretty sure he wrote that down as a donation for taxes lol.
