There's a few antique stores around where my brother lives that I check out sometimes when I go down there to visit him. Rarely would you ever find what you were looking for in a place like that, I'm sure, but nearly the entire basement was devoted to old records that they were selling for a song. I found a near mint copy of the Indiana Jones original soundtrack on vinyl there for less than a buck. :)

You'll pay more for sure when they know you're looking for it, but if it's got that sentimental value to you then it could be well worth the price. It's nice to see that it's up on ebay and it's not going for hundreds of dollars.

There's probably a good chance that the record store by you would be able to procure it for you. Like any business though, the more "desperate" you sound to get your hands on it, the more likely they would put a premium on you if you haven't built up a rapport with them. For sure I'd take a look around the store yourself to see if they already have it before you express an interest specifically for that album.


There's less than 10 hours left on that auction I posted. Just one bid for 9.99 plus 5 bucks shipping. Assuming there's no last minute snipers that come in and drive the price up, that could very well be the going price for the album. It's really all a matter of timing on ebay though. My cousin used to make a good buck just buying and reselling stuff on ebay. Sometimes the people willing to buy something just weren't looking for it at the time. Until you saw a few more auctions on it, you couldn't really say for sure what the good price for it is, but at least you'd know what one person got it for.

I actually went to Goodwill today. They've got about 100 records there. It wasn't there. I'll make that something I check whenever I go now. Most of the records there seem to be around that time frame. Definitely didn't see any 60's or 70's rock in there. Ya never know.

Glad I went though. They had some great shirts and work clothes my size today. A lot of times I walk out of there empty handed.

I've never been much into collecting music, but I would think that most record stores today would be struggling somewhat and would jump at the chance to look at getting somebody a specific album they were looking for.

I don't think the price would be all that reasonable, but with ebay making stuff like that easier than ever before, I would think that they'd at least have said "I'll check and get back to you". They could have bought the album for 10 bucks plus shipping and charged you 30+ for a few minutes work.

Oh well... You might find other things you like by just looking for it every once in a while at the places that might carry it. I think the internet has taken a lot of the thrill of collectables out of the equation. I know some people who have extensive video game collections, but I don't see the fun in that anymore. Where's the thrill when buying whatever you want online and paying a fortune to do it compared to the old days of garage saleing and hitting up the swap meets?
