homedude selling you the records for $1 sounds legit. thats a pretty cool hookup.

you can find records at many places that aren't record stores - thrift stores, garage sales, pawn shops - that's where you need to be looking.

did i mention dumpsters?

do you have any friends who clean out apartments for rental companies? lots of people will leave entire collections when they move cause they dont want to move them. ask around, meet people, work at it. you'll get what you need :mrgreen:


Yeah yeah, old dude stays down. I go out there whenever my wife isnt taking my money. I look at thrifts but they've gotten hip to the value and start charging $3-$5. I try garage sales but they're usually selling clothing! I've heard people talk about the dumpster route, but I've never gotten that lucky. I need to befriend a cleaner. My mother in law works with charities that collects junk. She said she just gave away hundreds before I met her. I was like ****. Now, she's keeping an eye out for me so hopefully I'll come up soon. :-) Ohh and yeah, if I do borrow some drums from someone, I always make'em a Bingo Production.

storage unit auctions.

my first big score was from a retired denver bronco. 18 boxes with 100 records per box.




this came from a storage locker that was auctioned for $75

that could be a blessing or a curse...i always find it hard to deal with people who give me the 'oh my god, you like records?!?! ive got boxes full of records i can give you for free!!'.

while i appreciate the gesture, i cant say that owning the same thrift store bargain bins 100 times over sounds attractive.

I'm learning that. I've regressed and have gone back to my 70's drums tweaked myself. I still cant find any 90's hip-hop records at a good price so...
