Every now and then I goto a used record store and for like $15 pick up 3 or 4 records. What is cool about this place is they have almost all the classic bands plus bands Ive never heard of from that era plus some new groups. Were else can u pick up used records?

The internet is a good place. I'm an Amazon junky and you can find some vinyl for good prices, but they're mostly used so you have to take the sellers word on the condition. There's a big weekly flea market near me every weekend and there are TONS of albums for sale. Problem is, they're really not in any particular order and the sellers really don't know what they have so you have to take time to go through all the stacks. Garage sales you can find some stuff, especially if the seller doesn't know what they have, my betterhalf went to a sale a few years ago and bought about 30 albums for about 7 bucks, she had no idea what I was looking for and just picked the ones with the coolest album covers.
I mostly buy albums to frame nowadays, as long as they're in presentable condition. Ocassionally I slap something on the turntable, especially those that are not on readily available on CD.
