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

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.

"The stores where your chances of finding something nice will always be in the areas where the incomes are the highest. "

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.

Right you are tyray. There's plenty good to be found in every kind of Goodwill neighborhood. I frequent seven different stores, and in one here in Sun City West, an upper income retirement community in AZ, I just bought 8 really good jazz CDs, Evens, Getz etc. from one man's immaculate collection (each with his name and address label) for 2 bucks each. 

Oh it is definitely an addiction!
Decided to visit a Goodwill in a slightly different area to my normal haunts and while still not a fantastic selection I did come away with three Concrete Blonde albums.
Had to get two other albums as well because they were a whopping 5 albums for $1...
Hard to handle!
