Charity store bin diving? Am I the only one that suffers this addiction?


Pretty much as the title says, lol.
I frequent a number of local charity store or thrift shops if you prefer.
There are good and bad days for lp,s and cd,s.

Today was an exceedingly good day!

4 original Deep Purple albums, Billy Cobham, Grand Funk, Styx, Animals, Live, Metallica. etc etc

22 albums total for just $12.

Anybody else addicted to the thrill of the hunt?

I forgot. It also includes the HP 15.6" i5 processor laptop I’m using right now, and the 27" monitor behind it, for looking at schematics.

Lawdy. I gotta stop being so cheap and doing too much bargain hunting.

And the cartridge assessing stereo biological microscope (100x) in the shop, a Carl Zeiss unit. Found at the same place. $14.99. Overpaid that day!

Like I said, the list is near endless. Apparently, he who dies the most Scottish, wins.

edit: whoops: also the $750 mint Obusforme office chair I’m sitting in right now.
