What I'm saying is look for the music you like. Don't worry about looking for stuff people tell you to look for.

me personally would dig for 60- 80's and i would offer anywhere from 5-25 cent arecord so i would not give him more then about 20 bucks for all,

but as spectre said dig for what you like and dont pay to much for it i would give at the most 50cent per record if that

look at the confition if there's to many scratches dont take them, if there to old dont take them if you can't use them and you dont like them dont take them, you'll come across better deals as time goes on and you get to know what you like. search this forum for other records that others ahev posted up or talked about . do some home work first before you get in deep .

good luck and have fun

damn 5 cents...lol..and i was gonna offer 2dollas a pop..but trust me i was gonna check make sure they werent warp or scratched up...so 60s to 80s huh..thanks..i thought the older the better but guess not.....

The older the better? Not at all.

Learn about music history and genres and you will start to know what something can possibly sound like just from the year it was put out or recorded. Of course there are exceptions to this.

well it all depends i like 40's jazz i like salsa from those eras too, but usually they are beat up so it depends on the condition,
i'm picky about my records and i would pay around 5cent to 25 maybe 50 a record, you got to figure what you would pay at the thrift store, and some these people dont know shi+ about what they have so you that dont know much about records yet it should be easy for you to go in there and really dont let them screw you like some of these record dealers that charge up the ass for some records.
you got to learn to wheel and deal these cats. is all
