everyday has a pretty good dollar bin, that's what i was referring to.

there's also a place on pike, also in capitol hill, that is nothing but 'dj' records, and they too have a huge, nice dollar bin. it's called 'platinum records lights sounds' and it's near the corner of pike and broadway.

dude that runs it is really cool too.

@ op, i dont really know about many record stores with dollar bins, but there are a couple good ones in the university district, again, dont know if they have dollar bins though.

Ive been picking up .50 cent records from Georgetown Records in south Seattle. They got crates of cheap vinyl, and even Hip Hop 12” singles. I found all the House/Techno they had in the cheap bin, so now I’ll have to just branch out into other genres I suppose.

There’s also JiveTime up in Fremont, Al’s in the U-District & Federal Way (They closed their Tacoma location), & Time Tunnel in Burien (Which I need to check out myself).

There’s a thrift shop in downtown Tacoma which has tons of vinyl, but it may or may not be worth digging in. I know I’m vague on it, so I’ll go down there Saturday & let you get the name/address of the shop.

There’s another place in Tacoma called Buzzards, I think? I’ll have to check that out as well. :-D

I didn’t get the time I wanted to go dig in Tacoma. I guess Georgetown Records has so much in the .50 cent crates, that going to other stores will be a tad hard. I went to a place in Renton, and they had good stuff, but not much of it was cheap. Oh well.
