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 only kept the Heresy's for a few months. I advertised in the local free buy/sell paper and soon found a buyer nearby. He paid me $375 for the Heresy's and was very happy! I went to my friend Marty in New Rochelle (a big Altec/JBL fan and tube gear collecter). He sold me a really nice pair of Altec 872 Madrid's (with the 15" Duo-Flex woofers for the $375 I made from the Heresy sale. I was very happy!
