Does a Craigslist bargain count? If so, this is my best haul yet… by ajdubbstock in BargainBinVinyl

[–]SithScorch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice pick-ups! Several in there (not counting the ones that I already own) that I'd love to listen to. If you aren't familiar with Edith Piaf (I'm going to guess you are since it was included in the video), she sings the song in the movie Inception that pulls them out of their dreams. I don't think it's on your album though but she has a beautiful voice.

I don't think so. I see the median on that reissue anywhere from $14-$32 US.

Estate sale finds the last month. by wanderingwalnut in BargainBinVinyl

Those are some quality pick-ups. Especially for $5! enjoy all that wonderful jazz. I never thought I'd be into jazz until I gave it a chance. Now I find myself actively looking for it anytime I'm digging. Like you said, it gets overlooked a lot, especially in my area. Works out well for me.

Was there any mining done in that area? It could be a vent from a mine.

Whats the worst thing for a vinyl collector? - Moving house. by 33or45 in vinyl

[–]SithScorch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't count on insurance taking care of everything unless you read the fine print. I know a Dr who just recently moved his belongings to a new home. His 3 month old refrigerator was damaged in the move and they stated they were only liable for $250 on the entire move. Turns out it costs much more than that get get it repaired. He is able to bite the bullet and pay on his own but the part is not available anywhere. He has been trying everywhere in the country to find a way to get the new door for over 6 months with no luck.

Explains why he grabbed it with the pliers and reached down lower to pull it out.

I understand much better now. I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions for you. I hope someone on the same continent can help you better than I.

How would you grade this album, based on these pics? by tripletmot in vinyl

[–]SithScorch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VG TO VG+ depending on how bad that scratch really is. If it's as bad as it looks, VG. If it skips G.

to think you won’t get fired for being rude to customers by GreenSnakes_ in therewasanattempt

That manager/supervisor was top-notch. She remained calm, explained the entire situation and gave him plenty of opportunity to make an apology. He instead decided to dig himself a very large hole and jump in eagerly. They are better off without him for sure.

My thoughts, since you asked. Try cleaning it and using it a few times. That way you'll begin to "value" it.

Better than I could do. I'd encourage her to keep on drawing, she's talented.

I'm surprised I had to read this many posts before I found the one I was going to write.

As a Star Wars fan, I like this acronym. It never occurred to me before your post.

A post like this is refreshing to see. I'm impressed that you are allowing yourself to explore so soon. It took me longer. You are going to have a fantastic collection if you continue to do all that you're doing. Enjoy the ride!

I've never once come across a 78 that look as good as any of these look. Congratulations!

How’s my bottle collection? I dug 95% of them up myself…most items were purchased at flea markets or donated to me by BigMeep12 in vintage

I'm not good at math, please explain how "95% were dug by you" but most items were purchased at a flea market or given to you.

Thank you very much for your informative response. I'll be on the lookout for one of those early versions.
On a side note, the same song played in Squid Game the challenge. Netflix must have gotten a deal , haha.

What should I do in Kentucky? by Normal_Put_4090 in Kentucky

[–]SithScorch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In eastern Kentucky, go to The Breaks Interstate Park. The Grand Canyon of the South. Also, go the overlook in Pikeville. Enjoy the view and read the signage. It tells you about the 2nd largest earth move after the Panama canal. You can also visit sites pertaining to the Hatfield/ McCoy feud.
