Re: [ARSCLIST] Collection for sale
Tom,
There hasn't been a store like that in Albuquerque,for nearly ten years.Another reason I stick to eBay.I got five Lps in the mail today.They are:
Cliff Richard (A guilty pleasure)"Two A Penny" World Wide Pictures Radio Promo Lp of music and radio spots $8.50
And a rarer Capitol of Canada Lp from 1966.
The Beatles live in Melbourne,and Washington,DC 1975 Wizardo boot, $9.99
A 1971 Japanese Liberty "Best of" by the legendary Japanese psych band The Mops - $37.50
I have many rare original 60s psych/garage/surf Lps from South America,and Australia,that I bought 2-5 years ago on eBay,at about $9.99 each.
The Roman Totenberg mentioned in another post. $19.99
Among those I have coming:
Lord Invader "There's A Brown Boy In The Ring" Folkways 10" Lp $10.50
Lord Kitchner "Kitch 69" UK RCA International $9.99
Jerry Butler "Folk Songs" 1963 Vee Jay $9.99
Johnny Hallyday 1961 Canadian-only Philips "Viens Danser Le Twist" 10" Lp. $9.99
And some very choice 60s ska 45s,including a Marley,in this price range.
Some times I buy more classical,sometimes I buy more rock/R&B/Caribbean,it goes in cycles,of like 2-3 months,but I always do better than I would in a store in this day and age,and as I buy exclusively from Paypal funds I get from selling other records,it is not that much different from trading at a store.I rarely spend any outside money.

The "good stuff" is generally kept in a couple of cardboard boxes behind the
counter and you have to ask for it. They'll have a good turntable and
non-toxic/filthy headphones and you can take a listen and see if it's in the
shape it looks. Then, you'll pay what it's worth. And, the really good
places have huge dollar bins where once in a while you get super-lucky and
the rest of the time you drop a Washington to get a real-deal album sleeve
to look at while you listen to your CD.
