Well just never know do ya?
Last week I was in a back water thrift. Found a couple of boxes of albums. In the floor thinking new arrivals. Started going through them and pulling out some nice stuff. Sealed Beatles White Album (numbered) Sgt Peppers RAM Zepp IV to name a few.
The guy comes over and says they are sold!  He's gone to get his car.Now these are going for fifty cents a album and I see close to a hundred in the boxes. Quit and stood up, a little upset but hey that's how it goes. Right? Well over the last week the urge to go back in and see has been strong. Twice before today I wanted to go back but alas did not. Well today stopped in and what did I see.......... ALL OF THE ALBUMS WERE STILL THERE! Guy never came back to pick them up!  Been a week and they are still there!Timing timing timing ....... Bought twenty five might go back tomorrow. The rest were all common but all were in pristine condition. Barney

Sometimes it's good to heed these intuitive impulses....
 The guy wanted them for himself, but couldn't bring it off for some reason. Or he was saving them for a 'buddy' who turned out not to be interested.... Did you see that guy when you went back?

You have that special Karma going for you. Visit every thrift and buy, buy, buy.

It is a family run operation, Mom Pop & Son. The Son was the one who said they were spoken for. I think he was being honest, for there is a good walk in business in this neighborhood. Plus he has always been up front on other dealings.
To my advantage the boxes were at the counter by where the employees entered. Not were they are usually, out of sorts so to say. This city is busy this week, Derby and all so for them to be still there and unmolested, yes I did buy lottery tickets after leaving today! Barney

When I bought my B&O turntable it was from a Craigslist ad. I went to this house and the woman brought out the turntable. While we were talking I noticed a box of albums sitting on the floor. She says, "Those are for sale too. $2 a piece or $60 for the whole box." So, I had a look. About 35-40 albums, many of them audiophile pressings, all in beautiful condition. I picked up Steely Dan, Poco, Christopher Cross, Supertramp, Wings, Fleetwood Mac, Heart and Gordon Lightfoot. I think it was fourteen albums in all. (The rest was a bunch of Disco crap and '70s country.)
The condition of the albums is what got me. Nearly perfect. She said her Dad would buy albums, record them onto "the big reel tape thingy" and file them away. Played only once. She also said he had a lot more rock, but her brother kept those. Dave
