lucky me

had some extra time on my hands yesterday..so i went to the record store to pick up some rap acapellas

found what i needed and walked to the counter...what do I see? some old guys tryin to sell records to the store...

...too bad for them the store didnt want most of them

so the guys decide to take the rejects outside and throw them in the back of their pick-up...

and I unknowingly follow with the UNPURCHASED RECORDS still in my hands...one of the employeees followed me and caught me...i felt sooooooo stupid....but thats not the point of the story.

ANYWAY

i went to the guy's pickup, and i see a ton of wax just sittin there...

I HAD TO JUMP ON IT!!

i start diggin (with the guys permission, of course), and see quite a few pieces of plastic that catch my eye....Picked up a crate full for $10

damn!

Man I can't ever seem to be in the right place at the right time.

#@%!#$#!%#@$>>>>..................

#$!#$...........

^&%$#^&$%^&*^$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


(the sound of me hatin')

Damn, thats like hitting the producer's Powerball lotto.

Congratz to you

I'm still waiting on my day.

i don't get it... they have to know that the records have more value than what you paid for them, so why do they even bother selling a crate like that for 10 dollars?

if they're so rich that they don't need the $10 then why not just give it away? and even if they stole them from somewhere they wouldn't want to go through all that trouble for a such small amount of money. yet they're anxious enough to get rid of those records to sell the whole batch for $30?


i don't get it.... maybe they're just plain stupid?

So 'THATS' where my other rekkids got to!!!!

Hmmmmmm

Congrats!!

People just want to get rid of them and just get dinner and beer money, the real store rejected them so it was a last ditch.

Dinner & beer money....hehehehhe

DAMN! I'm so jealous...I've been waiting for a situation like this to hit me.

great man, it those days that pay off in the diggin culture.
you need to get out and dig, YOU DiG
props man

one of my friends is the buyer / manager of an indy record store. He has come ups like this all the damn time. People bring in crates upon crates that the store can't sell because they are scuffed and scratched. He just tells them the store can't take them, but he'll buy them..... people practically give away the records man...... it's a sweet gig.

i want new records too
