The dollar bins here are laden with heat. I walked in with $15 and got 15 dope records.

Sorry about the quality, but I got:

2 Headhunters (can't leave one behind in the buck bin)

An extra Bill Withers - Still Bill

"Attack of the killer B's" B side compilation

The Birds, Bees and Monkees Japanese import...I can't find one on eBay that looks like mine. It's in a weird paper or wax sleeve.

Chalres Earland - Odyssey

A couple of Lonnie Liston Smith LPs

Cal Tjader

Gary MacFarland
and more...


I should have brought more $, this place that I go to is amazing when you're broke. No tax either. A single gets you any record, and they're overflowing with records.

Thanks guys. I've already put a couple to use, it's a good feeling to get good records on the cheap and get results out of them immediately.

I'm done spending more than $5 on a record. There's so many records in my city and nobody wants them, it drives the price way down. I'm going to keep spending $1 on each so I can rescue as many as my budget allows.

You guys spending over $50 per record better already own everything good that's been through the dollar bins here. Or be loaded with $.

hahaha theres no price limit to records for me, if i want it and it's good then i'll pay for it.

i just watch out for conditions and if it's a reissue
recnet reissues go for 10 bucks normally anything higher then that for a reissue then you really got to digg around more.
but i buy OG's only not saying that i havent bought reissue's but i'm into OG sound.

Hopefully someday I'll be able to say there's no price limit, but right now, my pockets are fond of the dollar bins and my crates are still shaping up very nicely.

Here in finland there is no such thing as "dollar bin" everything is up from 2-5 € or more, very sad but true. keeps my pockets flat not fat :D but crates are growing nonstop anyway

No 'dolla bins' (that'd be about 77p) here, either.

Found a Chi-Lites best-of for about 4.99... didn't see much else. Really need to go get some vinyl!

Same with Lonnie Liston Smith.... Yummy. I am so jealous.

Dallas has horrible digging spots. The cheapest I could find those records is $40.
Serious. I dig a lot too.


That Earland is dope. If you ever journey up I-35 give me a PM if you want to know some spots. I actually had a much bigger come-up than this recently that I didn't take pics of.

I actually play shows in Kansas frequently with my band. I def need to hit some spots.
Especially if you are getting digs like that.....
