I'm so stoked I just had to share this with you guys (and gals?). I just bought 176 lp's in vg+ to near mint condition at a local auction house in my little town in BC for $104.74 taxes and auction charges in. All are 70's and 80's rock. Every one I have checked out has proper inner sleeves and any extra photo's etc. Someone took extra special care of them all. Everything from Rolling Stones to Flock of Seagulls. Steely Dan, Eagles, Pink Floyd etc etc. Someone saved all my old favorites and kept them in great shape. In the words of Homer...."Woo Hoo!!".

    Thats cool. It will be fun shuffling through albums you would have never bought.
    Enjoy

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    I'd curse you out right now but all I can think about is how lucky you really were to get this kind of a deal.

    Right place. Right time. Rock on bro'! :D
