Goodwill/SA/Thrift Store Discussions & Finds

[Man in Cave]

That Telarc The Firedbird was one of the first CD's I bought way back in the beginning. Cool.

I found the Telarc record of Firebird a few years back. I think I have just two Telarc records. I know the 1812 is a "classic".

In audio nothing is definitive.It's all subjective.What one may hear another may not.

I hear voices in my head all the time and no one around me can hear them. Those that cannot hear the voices call me crazy, but they are the crazy ones.

Goodwill yesterday, JVC 5 CD Changer and a Pioneer CT-W710R Dual Cassette. just clean up on the JVC, A bit more work to get the Pioneer up and running. It was filthy, I think it had been
in a storage locker for years.
All cleaned up and in use. $20

KR-4070, not really cheap at $40 but I'm a sucker for wood trim. DBT passed so I hooked up my 2.2 Minimus 7's and we're up and running.

Decent cosmetics, switches are clean and smooth. I really don't need another receiver but "no" is a hard word.

I've got the bug for the similar era KA-xxxx integrated with the big volume knob and VU meters. Patience...

$40 That would be an insta buy for me. Vintage Kenwood hard to beat.

If it has "Bose" attached to it, why would you want it?"

See what I mean. Found today.

Pathetic... the price that is.If I was the store owner I would be ashamed of these business practices.

This my haul from a small thrift that I only visit every couple of months. All except the Duke Ellington were $1. The Duke was $3 but I felt it was worth it. All the records are in near mint condition and the album covers are as you see. I even left a few behind for karma's sake. The again I may go back.

Anyone care to guess why I bought the Cheryl Ladd and the belly dancing LPs?

Pics coming:

I'm not even a receiver guy and I would have picked that up for $40. The face looks clean and with a bit of work those panels will look great.

They should have cleaned it too .

That'd be too much like actual work.

Don't I know it. But that Getz Au Go Go aint bad either, though it's my third copy.

Picked up Pink Floyd A Nice Pair today for .75. Occasionally I win one.

Been picking up a lot of Tim Weisberg albums myself lately.

Picked up a few CD's at our lame Flea Market today. Dude had about 13-15 CD zip pouches to go through. To bad the Ultradiscs were missing their cases.

 

[markshan]

That must be the guy who steals them out of the cases at the GW.

That guy must get around.
I think he haunts my local Thrifts too.

I actually had a old guy (older than me so he was reeeaaally old!) next to me at Buy the Pound who was taking all the CDs and DVDs out of the cases and just keeping the discs. I asked him why he was doing it and he said it was cheaper to just buy the discs because you're charged by weight. I mentioned to him that now people will pick up the case and there's nothing in it. He got one of those "So?" faces and walked away.

With file sharing, honestly at this point the packaging is worth more than the disc.
