Went thrift store hopping today. After 12-13 years of being without a turntable I came home with The Mills Brothers "14 Karat Gold," Poco "A Good Feelin' to Know" and "Crazy Eyes," Mike Oldfield "Tubular Bells," and the Outlaws' self-titled album, all on vinyl. Total hit to my wallet: $12. Less than the price of one new or two used CDs. Half Price Books, Records and Tapes on North Lamar in Austin had three Delbert McClinton albums from the 1970s, all unopened, for $2.98 each. I passed because I'm not a huge Delbert fan, but I might go back in a day or two and pick them up just for the hell of it. Hard to go wrong at that price.

Now I need to start hanging out at the Turntables and Tapes forum. Where, oh where, is my long-lost Denon DP-45F when I need it again? Maybe I can find another Technics SL-1300 in good shape, if I take my time. Slap on a new cartridge and keep hunting for bargains.

I'll take those Delbert albums if you go back. Let me know and I'll send you some $$. I'm a huge Delbert fan.

I love shopping for LPs. I picked up 17 this week. It's addictive.

Whats the going price on 70's rock alblums in decent shape? Is a dollar a piece to much?

Not a problem JDaniel, but the albums may not be unopened when you receive them. :D

DaWoofer, a buck apiece for '70s rock albums in good shape sounds fair to me. You looking to sell some?

Corrupted, I work with Dingus, he is so into this forum that we call him the "audiophile" at work, not that he would ever make such a serious claim,

thats cuz you guys use it as a derogatory term. you guys are always making fun of me. the only time you've treated me seriously is when you used my picture for your avatar.

You're killing me ding, atleast my kids get excited when dingus comes to town
