A handful in the past but most of the interesting/obscure things I have were from trades with people I knew locally who had large collections or at record shows. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

I once found a copy of "Freak Out" by Zappa (vinyl) in a $2 bin. The album itself was pretty scratched but I got it anyway. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Can't say I've found much of worth in bargain bins... besides Air Bud: Spikes Back. What a film. |

No. Never. I've always had to search hard and pay hard for the music I love. I never by used albums, so that is most likely why. :) ------------- Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣 |

Geologists say that gleaming jewels can be found in fields of sh*t, and that applies to music as well. I've found a few good 'uns in the dollar bins, most notably Colosseum's Daughter Of Time and Opeth's Morningrise. Also found Solefald's Pills Against the Ageless Ills in a cd rack at a junk store, along with all the used '90s alt-rock and pop. ------------- "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." -- H.L.
