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

Back in the early 90's, my local Goodwill was a treasure trove of LP's as people were dumping their record collections for CD's. I must have pulled over 300 of them out of there. I stopped there almost every day after work.

That store also provided me with a Thorens TD-165 table with a Shure V15 III for $3. When I was checking out, the cashier said "too bad the speakers aren't with it". Yeah, what a rip-off!

Short arms, deep pockets. Books are my Shangri La at the local thrift stores. And not all are charity by the way. Never much luck with the audio equipment.  Joe

There there’s a GW in Saint Louis where I found the first 5 Fresh Aire albums ( (3 through 5 were unopened!) for 50 cents each!

My best finds.

@minkwelder This song reminds me of your post. It is about buying LP’s in the 90’s:

Not sure if the song is a style you like but the lyrics are great!

GW's in my neck of the woods are pretty slim pickings. Craigslist is where the action is. Fortunately we have a local book store with an impressive selection of $2.00 vinyl.
