hey i got a xmas deal on a bridge for sale...interested???

75 bucks i hope you got a fat holiday bonus dude...

i think alot of these are over priced, i payed 50 cents for the Killing me softly record and ive seen the Shaft record for 3 bucks

second dig good shi+ yo......... now you just got to learn to shop for better prices really

but excellent B+

very good funky groovy music , just how i like it.

This is totally the opposite of what I'm lookin for when I go diggin. That's the beauty of hiphop.

that's mad dough man.

yo loh...we gotta talk man. you spendin way too much doe.

im about to cry about the amount of money you spent on records that are bargain bin records elsewhere. i cannot let a fellow chicago-an go broke.

peace

Yeah I mean you spent so much bread on records that I could grab for like $1.00 they are very common joints. I got like 3 copies of that shaft soundtrack
But you do have some good shyt in their. That Roberta Flack Record is SICK.

yo get you a portable turntable so you can check those joints out before you buy. like everyone else is sayin, you kinda got took on the prices, but if you check them out before you buy them, you will know if its worth the price you payin.
live and learn

Word up man. I rarely listen to those CHEAP records before I buy em. If they got cool covers, I buy em. I only listen to the expensive records.

Im thinkin of buying a Vestax handytrax so I can listen to records everywhere.

the vestax is straight
ive had the numark one since it came out and its been good. i take it everywhere i go diggin, especially when i travel.
its literally saved me hundreds of dollars and a whole lot of space in the crates that mightve been taken up by garbage records if i wouldve bought them without listenin.

Those are good digs famo. Like some of the others mentioned you have to learn what is common and what is rare. I used to drop at least a hunned fity everytime I stepped in dusty . I only mess with them for hard to find and reissues if I need a clen record. Email me Ill put you on to some spots.

right, as i said, im still a noob to digging. and apparently, especially when it comes to prices. i did have a pt01 with me and i listened to all the stuff before i bought them. but not knowing what's a good price for what records, if the records got a hot sample on em, and i feel like its worth paying 13$ for that sample, cuz i can easily make that money back from one sale of that beat, then i'll pay for it.

but yeah i feel yall, i'll eventually learn what's worth what.
