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

Wrongo sammmmmmy. Lots of good stuff to be found there if you're patient.

Now at a major city large charity shop there maybe a person like that who has some ideas on records.

I can tell you now around me they don’t know a record from a cd from a book!

Speaking of discogs, I had never used it until (2018) I read the thread above on gon, and as you would expect I lost my mind and have found and bought  beacoup lp's from that site of music I had never seen nor heard before and others I had fond memories of and didn't even know where to get them or if they were even in print!...It's, it's like a drug!

sammmmmmy,

I volunteered at a Goodwill working in the sorting area going through stuff to put out on the floor and I found a whole and complete boxed set of about 15 Beatles albums on cd’s.

Since I was a volunteer I was ’technically’ working there and could not buy the boxed set! Man, talk about crestfallen! And that was the last time I volunteered at that store!

The stores where your chances of finding something nice will always be in the areas where the incomes are the highest. That goes without saying though.

I disagree. The wealthy are too busy with their snouts in the stock-market to listen to music. Their knowledge is:Fleetwood Mac,Sabbath,Zep and Young. (That is if they know even that much.)

My friend used to tune pianos and was often in the mansions of the rich. He would snoop at their bookshelfs or music collections when no one was looking. Conclusion: the rich have abysmal taste. They like coffee-table "books" and music that has been funnelled down their throats. They do not seek the music on their own.


(Also, they are cheap:Generally I find better things/prices  in garage sales of the non-rich.)


I said previously that  the religious have no musical taste. Neither do the rich, the sports addicts or the audiofools.
