For a moment, I was like "that Big Muff guy really shook stuff up, didn't he?"

going to watch this post and steal someone's idea.

I love used record stores in the USA... I spent 4 weeks in LA / Chicago recently and went to Vinyl Frontier in McHenry, Illinois. If anyone is into 70's / 80's metal / hard rock, I suggest you go to this place. I bought a shitload of records there, all in great condition for around $3 - $6 each. Some really hard to get stuff. Most was around $3. I spent $162 there and then the guy says "go grab an extra $25 worth of records for free!" and i was like "WTF?!?!?!" and he said "no one ever walks in and spends $162 in one go on a Wednesday." That dude gets my thumbs up. And if there's any Beatles fans here, he still has a sealed copy of an original Butcher Babies cover framed on the wall. He had it appraised at over $25,000 and there's only 11 sealed copies in existence. It's worth the drive alone if you're a Beatles fan. But yeah, great store, great guy.
Rainbow Records in Palatine or wherever it is... some good records but shit condition for the prices. Way too expensive. Unless you think spending $15 on a Bruce Springsteen record is worth it considering you can find them everywhere in the USA in $1 stores.
I got tons of SAMMY HAGAR, KISS, DOKKEN, Y&T, RATT, DEF LEPPARD, TRIUMPH, RAVEN, WHITESNAKE, BLACK SABBATH, RORY GALLAGHER, KROKUS, TYGERS OF PAN TANG, SAMSON, SCORPIONS, AUTOGRAPH, CHEAP TRICK, RUSH, HEART, THE VENTURES, PRINCE, BOB SEGER, BLONDIE, etc. for no more than $3 each most were $1 or 50 cents.
My next plan is to go to the USA and hire a van and drive from one side to the next, just going through all used stores and just buying a fuckload of records along the way.
In LA I went to Amoeba in Hollywood and just delved into their boxes of 7"ers... found all these for 50 cents to $1 each:
The Records - Teenarama
Unit 11:74
Nursery Crimes - All Torn Up Inside (blue vinyl)
Wino / Scott Kelly split
Sugar - Titled
Naked Raygun - Vanilla Blue
The Dictators - I Am Right
Dead Silence - How can we make any more money than this?
Oiler - with the pop up cover of the person in bed
plus tons more including stuff by Red Aunts, American Ruse, The Bitters, The Fluid, Boris The Sprinkler, Grand Funk Railroad, Chrome Cranks, Supersuckers, Green Day, The Dragons, The New Christs, Pooh Sticks, Patti Smith, Riverboat Gamblers, The Dogs, Lime Spiders, The Thing, Pyschotic Turnbuckles, Valiant Thorr, Man Or Astro-Man?...
The stores in the USA for used records are amazing. Love that place. Will return next year for MARYLAND DEATH FEST so if anyone knows good used stores around Baltimore, please let me know.

I love to see the transition of new-ish guys from nice all the time to curmudgeon in just a few months.

13 year old me is stoked.

Oh and

I have about a 5% attraction to her.

yeah that was pretty cool until the music started.

Sufjan was born to make Christmas music.

I was freaking out today. Didn't know what time the kids will start showing up so I sped on home to find out there's still no Anthology on my doorstep..... At least I don't have to worry about them stealing/smashing it.

Just to clear one thing up... I am not confusing ETR guy with Virgil. The "independent music and drink craft beer" comment was a joke about this board. Apparently nobody in this thead has been around long enough to remember those t-shirts. (or remember when this board cared about independent music).
Now please continue calling me an asshole and licensing albums without talking to the artists.

Depends on if you go on a craft beer tour or not.

He clearly wasn't a record collector.

Lots of records for sale. Bordering on 300 now. I have a constant turnover as I buy collections and trade stuff up. I'm mostly using this to fund buying more records.

I'm interested in a few trades, so look at my wants list. I'll give you double the value of records for your single LP if it's the right one. PM all your offers! I've bought, sold and traded lots of stuff on here & DF just check out my profile.
 
If you're concerned about my reputation since I post the list on Dead Format, please see my info page on DF where I've posted the usernames of some 100+ I have dealt with in the past three years.

people from vc in the sales threads

I think a good test is if you wait for eBay for something that you planned on buying because the most limited variant sold out, and not just buy the black.

E) All of the above.

I tell people I'm hanging out with nearly homeless dudes all the time.

Your goodwill is somehow bothersome
Seriously, though, that's a touching story about your cousin.

Not a record but holy shit: I can't believe this is going for this much.
