For my collecting post for today, You're never going to believe what I just got. I went to my local record store looking for some new stuff, and I ended up helping him out with some collections that he was getting in that day. After I did that, he told me he set something aside for me, since he sets aside stuff for regulars who might be interested. When he pulled it out, my jaw hit the floor; it was a original pressing of the first Stooges album. It wasn't in the best of shape (like a visual G+-low VG), but it still played very well on the turntable like a VG record, and the cover was at least VG+. The owner said that someone had recently come in with a stack of records with mostly boring stuff and he only pulled out a couple things, with this record being one of them. He ended up letting me have the record for only $40! Again, I will note that the record plays to a VG level, so its still very listenable. Overall, I am very happy to own this record, so now the only original Stooges record I'm missing is Funhouse.
Off topic, but I'm wondering if this would be a good place to post my collection I inherited from my dad? I'm not a vinyl person (or really even a music person) so they aren't doing me any good. I'd like to sell them, but don't want to get lowballed, and I feel like there's some gems in there.
@XbSuper And you don't want to use discogs?
I don't even know what that is lol. Odds are that I do not, I listen to all my music on Spotify.

I believe it's for people who like to collect physical media, to keep track of their collection.
Old roommate had a large CD and Cassette collection and she went on about it sometimes.
Ya that's not something I'm interested in, I just want to sell them for a fair price.
what kind of stuff is in the collection?
Classic rock mostly. Zeppelin, queen, deep purple, black sabbath, etc. But there's also some I'd never heard of (I don't have the collection out right now) and a few that are unopened.
