thorn--Congratulations on your score.

Unfortunately, the vinyl shop I used to frequent has a computer with internet access so they research what they get in and double the price! I saw it happening last time i was in there--(f*&kers!) They have an ok selection but man on my pretty reasonable music budget its still to pricey. Last time since they changed ownership I brought in things to trade--nice collectors pieces that would totally sell for them but was willing to part with--i paid 100 bucks for all these things total--they offered me ten. Like I was trying to get a fix...treated me like the stepdad with a needle hanging out his arm with a tatoo on his forehead that said THERE IS NO SANTA CLAUS--all i wanted was trade...10 bucks in TRADE was their stupid offer. I give them Brand new shit. 10 bucks TRADE. Here is how it went down:
q: hey--I want some trade. I have Stevie Nicks underwear circa THE WILD HEART, Jimi Hendrix Guitar he played on alot of the tracks for what was to become the THE CRY OF LOVE, the hearse Neil Young drove in the Early Days of Buffalo Springfield, John Lennon's acetate for an album he never put out, and a copy of Huey Lewis and The News SPORTS on VINYL from the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab--still sealed. All i want is some trade...
bitter 50 yr old femalle behind the counter: gimme a minute (cough hack)
me: OK I will have a look around your shop.
q: Well how much trade?
a: 10 bucks trade, 1 dollar cash, scuzzball!
q: Hey--you guys are charging 8 dollars for this Cactus World News Cassette....Can you knock it down to three? I just want to hear it...
a: This is not a garage sale, dumbass.
q: Who the fuck is gonna buy this Cactus World News cassette for 8 bucks? Or one of the 100 copies you have of Billy Idol's Cyberpunk for 5 bucks? ON CASSETTE?
a: What is it to you? The price is not negotiable.
q: you are all assholes. I came in here just to get a copy of billy idol's CYBERPUNK on cassette. You want 5 bucks. If it doesnt play properly, which albums cds and tapes i have bought used here in the past do not, you want a blood test and my left ball. and five extra dollars for a new copy.
Plus I saw a beat to fuck copy of the STOOGES first record on Elektra but it had I HATE MY DAD written in blue crayon all over side one--you still want 50 bucks....for the value of the COVER! Which has Iggys eyes blacked out with ink and some kind of stain on the backside AND a sticker that says Property of Sequoia Elementary School....
a: So?
q: OK then.
q: you have no business sense.
a: Who are you?
Im never going there again.
