Out of Breath Records

Right. You've never said why he was an idiot, which is why I was questioning you the entire time.

There's way better rap than that.

Nobody said the song instantly sucked as soon as it got on the radio. But the song sucks. It's on the radio. Correlation doesn't equal causation, but sometimes things are so right, they cannot be wrong. 

I've changed my whole mind. This is the kid I want to come in my record store. 

But guys, the Justin Bieber poster.

You need to go all the way. ALL THE WAY. NOTE THE JUSTIN BIEBER POSTER NEXT TO HIS RECORD PLAYER

RIP elasalle, we barely knew ye

Science.

Black is not a color

He's bad at selling things. Therefore he is a bad seller. Plus his communication is shitty.

I've got myself a DJ Technics SL 1200 (thanks to my mother's old hobbies), and I have it hooked up to my tiny kit guitar amp so far. I mean it sounds fine and I'll get some nice speakers from Goodwill soon probably, but I was looking at portable record players and of the reviews, all the trendy kids seem to like the sound and everything on the Crosley's (thanks Urban Outfitters), but I notice some older folk say the sound is shit. And I've been looking at some on EBay, like the Fisher-Price ones, and other older portable record players, even the battery operated ones (think Moonrise Kingdom). How's the sound on portable record players? Is there really any point if I own $500 turntables other than for ease of use and novelty? 

Black, like my men

B L A C K !

You don't need to actually buy something for someone to be a bad seller. If there are extremely hard to work with, I consider them a bad seller.

I don't have any experience with purchasing equipment from thrift stores. It's not for lack of trying.. the local ones just never have anything. Mostly I just wanted to say that I'm glad you asked the question and, after the few couple of knucklehead responses from the "pros", I'm glad you started to get the answers you were looking for. I think the community benefits as a whole when questions are asked and respect is given to the questioners.. especially when no disrespect was given by the questioner in the first place. The internet can be a bummer sometimes. But this thread has helped me as well because this has been a question I had been wondering as well, so thank you

Thanks man, I appreciate the help!

I swear there's no point in ever asking anything. It's a troll farm. All I am asking is if anyone has had good experiences with getting something from a thrift store in terms of equipment. Or if they have not. And in regards to buying new equipment, it's already a hypothetical question so there is no budget, I'm just asking what one would suggest.
 
If you don't have anything to contribute but Ray J gifs than thanks you're really helpful and I'm glad you took your time to assist in my needs. 
 
And I did my homework, but I don't have the ability to go and test out every single preamp or speaker set-up which is why I'm asking VC.

You're obviously a rookie to this hobby.  Don't worry: stick around and soon you'll have answers to riveting, audio-related questions such as, "should I replace the needle on my Audio Technica LP60?" or "Can you help upgrade my system for $75 or less?"

Thanks man, I appreciate the help!

pmd ignore these pricks who can't read, down vote me all you want but the guy was asking a simple broad question and half of you decide to be ass holes, why even come here if thats all you have to offer, theres plenty of threads for you to contribute to without bashing a guy

No, no, no ... the Troll Farm is where they field complaints and grievances from those who are unsatisfied with their thrift store purchases.  Trolls get a bad rap, but they're really quite adept at customer service.

I will repeat myself again, I'm just asking if anyone has had good experiences or not, because if say 5 people say yes, the equipment functions and was good, I can be assured that hey, not all thrift store equipment is garbage. That it is a feasible place to find things. 
 
But I will stop by Salvation Army today and take a look at the brands and stuff thanks.
