Any recent "finds" in second hand record

I hope that Mr Trane was being sarcastic ( in a fun way). Part of the point of the post was to mention that treasures abound in the unlikeliest places & often for much less than what collectors' sites insists they should go for (remember me buying Sloche for $4cad, compared to a PA linked selling site asking $25usd, plus shipping). When it comes to the so called "obscure" masterpieces, I'll take a chance & pay $5-10 for an LP or second hand CD. But a $100 for Le Match, whoa. Mind you, you should also take into account that when these LPs or CDs come into those shops, the owners may be more likely to purchase them, therefore allowing the rarities to be found out more readily ,,,
P.S. Can you tell me how I go about getting that $100, Sean?  That is, once I've uploaded & burn the album onto CD.

My best find is Riverside's Second Life Syndrome in the used bin at my favorite shop down in the city. Also found Fates Warning X in the used bin as well, but let's just say I probably won't be a FW anytime soon. Good thing it was only $6.00.

Most of my finds in general have come from second-hand record shops; unfortunately, my favorite shop closed down several months back, so I've been in a bit of a funk in that area. However, I did have some luck recently with a local shop which has been closed the last few times that I've been in there. Here they are:

King Crimson - In The Wake Of Poseidon (EG Collectors Edition release)
King Crimson - Islands (ditto)
Peter Hammill - pH7
Van Der Graaf Generator - H To He, Who Am The Only One (ABC/Dunhill release)

Hopefully, my luck will continue!

I bought Soft Machine's Third and VdGG's Pawn Hearts on vinyl the other day. I've bought so many rare prog albums in used shop. There is about 20 used shop that I could recommend on the same street in Montreal. Walking down this street costs a lot.

Ah, I remember vividly the day I wandered into my local vinyl shop and bought Harmonium's second album because the cover screamed "prog!". I'd never heard of them. My life changed for the better that day.

My most recnet purcahses at second hand shops were: Foxtrot (remastered) by Genesis, Carnival of Souls by Miranda sex garden and empire by Queesnrÿche, all for about 4-5 dollars a piece

My most recent purchase in a second hand shop is a vinyl copy of Art Zoyd's Musique pour l'Odyssée. I've also found a vinyl copy of Univers Zéro's first album, which I haven't bought because of a lack of money. I hope now one has bought it yet, because I will have money pretty soon.

In my case second hand record stores are like oasis of good music because many prog artists had their albums released in LP and never had been released in CD in Brazil. Unfortunately here in Brazil CDs are expensive and imported ones are much more, so with luck one can buy 10 second hand records in good condition for the price of one new imported CD. If it wasn't the second hand record shops, I wouldn't have almost any prog album.

And surely I'm always finding good things in these shops (though some are not cheap like the common prog albums like Yes, Genesis, PF, etc).
