    I felt bad actually taking it for that price. Lady said it was her ex husband's collection and just wanted it gone. Got an original used AC/DC Back in Black and some others as well.

    I didn't even really know. I wasn't sure if it was an original or a re-issue until I got home. I did tell her this was worth more than what she was asking but she didn't seem to care and said she just wanted them gone. There were probably about 25 vinyls. She told me I coould take them all for $20. I probably should have, but only bought Vitalogy, AC/DC, a used journey album which isn't in that good of shape, and a counting crows album which turned out to be a re-issue. None of the rest really interested me.

    I told my wife to leave everything to the Wishlist Foundation - hope they're still around when I'm gone!

    Did you stick around and get a larger back story regarding these albums? Also, how old do you think the wife and ex-husband are?

    75 cents! He paid 75 cents. For that, we shall dance and sing to the gods and goddesses of yard/garage sales and be happy for our brother in PJ and in vinyl! :rock_on:

    I got Pink Floyd The Wall, AC/DC If you want Blood, Tom Petty Pack up Plantation for $3 total in the early 2000s at flea markets, Not sure if it`s still like that or not since vinyl is popular again.... I wish I had bought more, especially a few of the Motown records.

    This thread is hilarious. It really is out of High Fidelity. They never should have cut that scene out of the movie. The guy's a fool though, she just said she would sell them to someone else.

    It's a better movie in every way with that scene intact. The first time I saw in (on cable) it was inserted where it belongs, every time I've seen it after that it just pisses me off it's not there.
    Is this where the show list goes?

    Yes, and it's in the book, they filmed the scene almost directly exact from the book, that's what else makes it so cool.
