How to collect Vinyl Records
Thrift stores are actually a great source of finding old vinyl records. I will hit places like Goodwill, Salvation army, Missions Attic etc... Prices are never really high at these places. You will see prices range from $1 to $5 per record.Garage sales are also a great source for Vinyl records. There"s a little more work involved cause not everyone has any, but sometimes you can get lucky and find someone who is selling a whole collection. Lots of times you will find that they will take a flet fee for the whole collection. For example, I offered a guy that was selling about 30 records ( 50 cents appiece) $10 dollars for the whole lot, and he was pleased to let them go.
Last but not least talk to family members. I have 2 Aunts that gave me thier whole collections cause they were going to just throw them away! (Oh the horror! hehe) Dig around and see if some of your relatives are sitting on a few old "gems", it worked for me.
I hope these tips help. If you find some good records out there, please feel free to share your stories with me! I love music and the bands that create it. Happy hunting!!!
