Charity store bin diving? Am I the only one that suffers this addiction?

GK
Nope, not telling.
And yes I seriously doubt that the asking price would ever be realised, certainly not in today's climate.

But checking recently sold examples shows all into three figures so still a very lucky find whatever.
Not that I am interested in selling,it's a keeper.

Been doing this for years.....I'm fortunate to have numerous thrift type outlets in my area, one of which I even scored brand new unused NOS records! Yea not mainstream stuff, but sealed and unused regardless. Sometimes I get a bum record, but I'd say that at least 90% of what i do find sounds pretty darn good and for a buck! I have been able to drastically increase my inventory of records in this way, and I'd say half my collection contains thrift store finds. I seldom will buy a brand new record or pressing. Other alternatives I use to build my library include both Ebay & Discogs. I've had great success with these as well.  Closing in on perhaps 1000 records. 

Bin diving at the Goodwill is a favorite pastime.

I can shop like a king for $20. Timing is everything, however. Good finds get picked up fast. So it's a matter of  when something is put in the bins.

I agree on timing part tablejockey.

The same shop I scored big yesterday had zilch on Monday afternoon.

Luck of the draw.
