    Hey all

    As some of you may know I shop for vinyl all over the country as I travel for my real work, AND I also happen to live in the used vinyl capital of the world, so I get to see a lot of premium vinyl. Some I like for myself and I am sure a lot I let slide, some I buy and sell here if its a title I like or find interesting.

    I also notice a lot of overgrading on records that I have bought online and I see a lot of records that are way overpriced relative to what I see everywhere else.

    SO I am gonna try this experiment....I am going to a record show this weekend, a huge one, and I will be shopping all over Southern California for the next few weeks. Send me a list of what you want and what you are willing to pay and I will try to find it for you. It may in fact cost less than your max, I can leave the price sticker on it........

    The advantage for you is you have someone shopping for you that knows the language a little, pressings etc.....and I am VERY picky about condition. Maybe you didn't know that Faces record is pretty common, or the Steely Dan records are everywhere. Maybe you're sick of a VG++ actually being a G-, or worse, when you get it. I promise you that wont happen with me. I will guarantee what I sell, no questions asked. I ALREADY DO!

    So a list might look like this:

    Faces - Long Player US green label $6 (MINT only)
    Dylan - any 360 Columbia label $15-$20
    Zep I - the ONE, US AT/GP $35 (VG+ Acceptable)
    Van Morrison - 1st 5 USA Lp - all orig labels - $25-$50 depending on title
    Black Sabbath - 1st 4 Vertigos $150-$175 (VG++ or better only)
    Isley Brothers - Get Into Something US $10

    The advantage for me is that the more I buy from a seller the better deals I get and in a lot of cases there will be stuff I want from them too, ESPECIALLY at shows, plus you can barter better with a big stack.

    If you send me a list it needs to be firm. can be a great and cheap way to fill in some holes......

    The only difference to what I do now and this test is that I will be buying the titles YOU want instead of what I want, and I will know in advance....otherwise I have already been scouring the country for you guys, whether you knew it or not. Feel free to leave your lists below or PM me, and I can make a master.

    I already have one list for the shows this weekend.

    So if you're interested let me know....we will see how it goes

    Perhaps it's assumed, but just to clarify, since I don't see it stated expressly: are you selling to forum members at their willing-to-pay price? Or are you selling at the price you pay, plus postage? I would assume the former, and you pocket the difference between the two prices as your fee. Correct?

    no. they state what they are willing to pay and I find it at that price or lower. they will pay actual sticker price. I am going to leave the sticker on it actually if there is one....there is no profit for me involved. my advantage is getting discounts on what I want from teh same seller at a show or store, hopefully.

    thats it

    Lindsey Buckingham - Out of the Cradle. I'd be happy with a VG+ for $60 plus shipping to Canada. Probably a stretch but you never know.
