Latest Best Thrift/CL/Dumpster/Ebay Score!

I think Value Village and Savers are the same company....the price tags are exactly alike.

I guess all good things must come to an end. That same Value Village, only two days later, and they've got a bunch more rock albums, but now they are individually bagged up in a clear plastic bag, stapled shut so you can't even look at the condition without ripping open each bag, with price stickers of $2.99 and $4.99.
Of course the Julio Iglesias type crap is still 4 for $3.

If i was interested I'd rip them open, unless they are offering return privileges. It's perfectly likely that some don't even have the right disk in them.

My Savers had some reel tapes in a glass case for about $4.99 I snagged the Santana one...they had a Bob Marley album for $75.00!!! This was a month ago.....

at least they do not have a non-working BIC T-2 cassette deck that does not work for $119 like the SA does now WTF!!!!

in defense of Savers I have found Snells, Tannoy powered studio monitors and a NAD 7155 all since Oct 2013.

Donquixote99 suggested I rip the bags open and check the albums out, so I did just that, even though I had no intention to purchase any of them. Ripped open about a dozen.
Seems to have done the trick! The bags are gone and all albums are back to 4 for $3. Picked up ten today- Alabama, Eagles, Marshall Tucker, Doobies, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, etc.

Thanks for the tip Don!

Paid five bucks for five bucks worth of speakers - AudioSource LS 300. They sound good enough to be test speakers or to put out on the patio.

Rip them open so they get a reality check. The albums are only $.99 at my Savers.
Cassettes are $.49.

AKer Wolverine, (Scott) and I went thrift hunting a few weeks ago, nothing except a couple low end Onkyo cassette decks, one in great shape and a Denon DCD-1500 cd player. I already have two cassette decks and and RTR, so I left the Onkyo and picked up the Denon for $20 at the Habitat for Humanity thrift in Virginia Beach.

Come to find out the DCD-1500 is the shiznit. The choice of pros, radio stations and DJs for decades. This one certainly has an awesome sound to it. As I type it's spinning out Jeff Becks Blow by Blow.

$20 and this bad puppy went for over $800 back in the late '80s.....................

Very nice Dave. I'll have to keep my eyes open for one of those.
The wife listens to CDs, right now thru a multiplayer. It would be nice to get something with a good reputation.
