The 'I Did a Thing' Thread

We need one of those two eyes emojis for a post like that.

like that?

I am not a highroller or a big time dealer.
I sell off doubles and stuff I don’t want in my spare time. I have done this off & on since I got out of college in the late 80s. it is one of the ways I have funded my own collection. I have always done it in lower numbers.

A friend of a friend asked me if I wanted to look at a lot he didn’t want. Doubles, culling his giant collection, etc. I went and looked, he said over 500 pieces. We agreed on a price, and there ended up being around 650 in all. I will definitely keep some, but a lot of it isn’t in my wheelhouse.

This is going to take time, but I enjoy it. I’m setting up at 3 record fairs in PA this month. Lots of lugging and long days.

Tomorrow will be my biggest bulk buy ever... stay tuned for my ridiculous follow-up post. This is for resale, and it's a lot more than I would normally spend, but I think the payoff will be worth it.View attachment 128326View attachment 128327View attachment 128328View attachment 128329View attachment 128330View attachment 128331

That Dopesmoker looks like it might have a corner bend so I can do like $5 for it as a favor.

If we are doing confessions, I bought the signed Obama/Springsteen book. I am really not that much of an autograph person.

In my defense: someone did post it in the online deals section. Also, well, icons.

and yes. I paid $416 for a book.


but .. it has a slipcase?

I’d love to have a copy of that too

Any Sun Ra jammed into those boxes?

Not yet!

I just ordered a pair of Wharfedale Denton 85 heritage speakers.

I did a thing….picked up the Sinatra MoFi box set on eBay …it was a seemingly very good deal. Box itself seemed a little beat up but most of the records claim to be unplayed.

This also means I’ll have a second Geodisc so if anybody is looking for one, I may have one for sale!

 

[Thackeraye]

Just paid £75 postage for an £100 record. Would only do this for one of my top 50 - The Wildhearts PHUQ deluxe box.

 

[Russ I]

Three beauties in a row (following @djdavedk's boxes and boxes)! This is getting good.

 

[MikeH]

Sinatra MoFi box has landed! now to clean them!

 

[Mather]

I bought more isolation feet than any man could ever need.

Crikey. Is it being personally delivered by the CEO of DHL on a gold platter?!

The cables worked. Why not try some feet too?
