My wife just said I can't go coz I got too many records. (You wouldn't believe
the estate sale I've been buying from, over the last few weeks..of a guy who
had too many records..and in fact I have to check, since the sale of some of
his "better stuff" might be that same weekend.)

Seriously..these Belfer sales are great. Last year there were only a few of us
there at any one time and there were thousands of unsold records. I contacted a
couple of people and one drove in after work from Buffalo, and Sue and company
stayed late just to see the stuff move (a tiny percentage of it at any rate).
