OK, I swear I'm NOT trying to outdo everybody here but this is what happened to me in 1990.

I was at work (in Augusta GA) and a guy told me there were a bunch of punk rock records at a used book store.

He told me the only bands he could name were GBH and Flipper.

Well, I figured it would be a bunch of garage sale type records with a few punk rock records mixed in and so I didn't give it much more thought. It just so happens that I was down in that area of town and I looked over and I saw the book store he said these records were at.

So I went over and in and what happened next sounds like I'm making this all up but I swear to God I'm not. I walked up to the old record racks and on the front row was the Flipper record and the GBH record. I walked up and looked behind the Flipper record and what I found was the SS Decontrol "Kids will have their say" record in dead mint condition. The cover looked like it had been pressed yesterday and the record itself didn't even have a spindle mark on the label. This was only the tip of the iceberg. There was EVERY X-Claim record there. There was also most of not all Dischord (ALL early pressings on the HEAVY stock), Dangerhouse, Touch and Go and to many to even name. There were around a 100 LP's that I picked up that day and they were all $3.00 each. This had to be someone’s collection that had either died or went to prison because this was not someone who just bought records; this was someone who collected collectable records. Well, I went to the front to check out and I wasn't believing this was actually going to happen till I gave them my money and I actually walked out of the store with these records. I paid the guy and asked if there we any 7"s with this collection, he stated that there were three large boxes at his house and he'd bring them in tomorrow. To say the least, I came in the next day and what was there would make ANYBODY cry let alone to have the chance to but these things at $1.00 each. Here I found (I bullshit you not) all Dischord, most Touch and Go, most Dangerhouse, and so on and so on. I purchased about 200 7"s like this and still left tons of records behind (bad move).

There wasn't eBay back then and i don't even think I was using the internet back then so I had no idea what these things were all worth so I put in an add in the back of MRR and did a telephone auction and sold about 1/3 of them and gave away the rest to people who would like the freebee with the record they purchased from me. I will tell you it kills me when I now go to eBay or whatever and see how much some of the records were worth of the ones I left behind..... And this is how I started Selfless/Clearview Records...

Got Heaven is Whenever by the Hold Steady about a year ago for 6.99. Still perfect condition and it made me pretty happy.

 

My fave, however, was AFI - The Art of Drowning on grey marbled/300. Fully autographed. Used bin deal of buy two, get one free so I got that, a Black Flag LP and the Undertones for $20. Left feeling preeeeeetty pleased.

I got you beat on the 88FL...I got mine for $2 hahaha.

Also the Royalties record is a dollar record and not worth more than that. I used to see them all the time here in NJ for dirt cheap

Today while visiting my hometown Asbury Park with my fiance, we went to Holdfast (best record shop around) & I found a hidden gem in the new arrivals. As Tall As Lions S/T on black. It's in VG+ condition & the sleeve is NM. The only thing it's missing is the inner sleeve. It was only $7!
