Used vinyl > Spinnkakers on Main Street in Hyannis though not a lot by any means. Not sure about used vinyl at Instant Karma in Orleans > you could call them > he also sells turntables > still I'd call first. Also some places in Provincetown > check the yellow pages online. I live on the Cape by the way.
Two used vinyl shops off Cape - both very close to Interstate 195 in MA and RI:
Sunset Records in Somerset, MA > great little shop with very, very good & fair prices > buy 3 and get one free!
Round Again Records on Wickenden Street in Providence > also a great little shop with very clean vinyl and very, very good & fair prices
You can Google both of those shops.
If you go to those shops and don't see what you are looking for, ask!

Iv herd reall good things about the MIT flea market from members here, i might be checking it out as well. ill also give a vote to spinnakers, not the largest selection but worth taking a look.
there is also a store called "cheap thrills" over in dedham if your gonna be around the boston area and the guy basically sells from his collection of 40,000 LPs in closet of a store and has a wharehouse of another 50,000... he runs funny hours though so it can be hard to catch open. the prices are amazing if you see him in store, he makes all his money selling over the internet so gives crazzy discounts if your in the shop.

Well, the Boston area is an hour from off-cape, so I won't entice you too much.
MIT flea - you've got to be early. Keep that in mind.
If you do come to the Boston area, there's Stereo Jack's in Cambridge, a number of Newbury Comics stores around, but the destination one for used vinyl is in Norwood. There are others also, but some I haven't made it to.
See this thread for blurbage on Deja Vu records in Natick. I confess I haven't made it out there.

Just remember, you're well off the cape by this time. The cape is nice too.

Ditto Stereo Jack's in Sommerville - just down the street from Harvard Sq. on Mass. Ave.
On Commonwealth Ave. out near BU there's In Your Ear > also In Your Ear on Mt. Auburn St off Harvard Sq but nowhere as good as the Comm Ave. shop. No experience with MIT flea market.
Another suggestion is to go online and check the performance schedule at the Zeiterion Theater in New Bedford and the Narrows Center For the Arts in Fall River. There may be someone you'd both like to see. Catch a show at either of those on your way back from the record shops in Somerset and Providence. Be sure to hit Antonio's on Coggleshall Ave. in New Bedford for dinner!!!! Might be a great trip on a not so nice Cape weather day.

There's also the Cape Cod Melody Tent. Performers like to go there so that place get's top shelf performers without having huge audiences. I missed Willie Nelson last summer because I was away. I think Alison Krauss and Union Station will be there soon too.
One more thing. Stereo Jack's has been rumored to be threatening to close and may be gone after July 1.

I will vouch for Spinnakers! I've been going there since I was a wee lad and I've never been disappointed. Out of all the places that carry vinyl on cape they have the best prices and the freshest selection.
I was actually in Orleans yesterday and ran into Instant Karma records. The owner has a very nice selection of vinyl, but I think his prices are kinda high for what he offers. I'm disappointed 'Stack of Wax' in Ptown closed shop, they had a excellent selection
Hmm...oh, theres also the booksmith in Orleans, they do carry a couple of bins of vinyl.

Sandbar, I wonder if we have ever crossed paths in the wild!? I'm in Dennis and usually stick around the mid-cape area.

Dave, perhaps we have crossed paths though I go to Karma and Spinnakers very rarely - used to go all the time and knew Dylan at Karma fairly well. Retired here in '03 and sold about 700 of my 1000lp's just before that. Over the past 3 years I've been in a mad scramble to replace the ones I liked the best. Selling all those was one of the biggest dumb ass things I've ever done > I cringe every time I read where someone is selling their collection > don't do it!!!! Anyhow, I, too, am in Dennis. Did you go to 4C's? I'm a retired English teacher and tutor a few 4C's students and have over 20 ESL students.
We ended up having a great time in Cape Cod. Thanks for the suggestions.
We saw Alison Krauss and Union Station at the Melody Tent. It was great to see really talented musicians at an awesome concert venue. Even the nosebleed seats are not more than about 50 feet away from the rotating stage. Highly recommended.
I didn't make it out the the MIT Flea but I did go to Spinnaker's. They have a good selection of new and used vinyl but nothing that I really had to have. I didn't leave Cape Cod without scoring some vinyl though. I found nice, clean copies of Springsteen's The River, Keith Jarrett Concerts (3 LP set), Jarrett's Staircase (2LP) and a Dave Brubeck live album all for $10 at an antiques store in Dennisport.
The back of the antiques store also had a bunch of bakelite radios, a KLH table radio (predecessor to the Tivoli Model One?) and a wood cabinet Sansui receiver (350A?) but I didn't have time to inquire about those.
