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


Pretty much as the title says, lol.
I frequent a number of local charity store or thrift shops if you prefer.
There are good and bad days for lp,s and cd,s.

Today was an exceedingly good day!

4 original Deep Purple albums, Billy Cobham, Grand Funk, Styx, Animals, Live, Metallica. etc etc

22 albums total for just $12.

Anybody else addicted to the thrill of the hunt?

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.
