jochert Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 So this weekend, my hometown of Utrecht is hosting the Mega Record & CD Fair. According to the website www.recordplanet.nl: "The Mega Record & CD Fair in Utrecht, The Netherlands, is fair of the year according to the British monthly magazine Record Collector, the international bible for record collectors. Utrecht is certainly Europe’s biggest fair and possibly the world’s, together with the New York record fair." It's insane, HUGE, a lot of fun and very bad for my personal cash flow.... So, any europeans on this board going to this? And you guys from across the pond: ever been to the New York fair? Or any other record fair experiences?

benchwarmer Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 wow. kind of glad I've never been to one. I'd probably have back problems carrying the shit I bough out. Or I'd have to hire a pack mule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunkrock Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I've been to one twice in london ontario. I walked out with 10 awesome lps the first time and spent only $130 (although that was a lot at the time since I was in college). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I'd have to hire a pack mule. Haha, for real...you see a lot of people coming in with huge (empty) luggage carts. bon jovi? Ok, you got me, it actually is a bon jovi fan club day seriuously there's always a bunch of fan club booths or booths that only sell records by a single artist, like a thousand Kinks records...

xlovecolouredx Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 i never hear or visit this fair before. so awesome ! are sellers on this fair accept cash or credit card or both ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jochert Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 i never hear or visit this fair before.so awesome ! are sellers on this fair accept cash or credit card or both ? If you mean the Utrecht fair, you're best bet is to take cash, not sure about the credit cards.... But there are ATM machines right outside, and tons of banks in the city so you can use your credit card to get cash.... yeah, great fair: two times a year, in april and in november....

patron Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I'd love to go to one of these, but I've never heard of any in Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefan Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I've been to a couple of small record/CD fairs (none close to the awesomeness in that photo!). The thing that I really saw at these fairs were tons more bootlegs than you would ever see on a store floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
