    2017 tag sales/flea markets/estate sales finds

    it's getting to be that time of year again. I started hitting estate sales last weekend. got some scores today at a couple sales and then hit a Habitat for humanity re store and picked up a bunch of LP's and 45's. spent around $30 in all, and $20 of that was the record player

        Memorex. it's not high quality or anything but I figured for $20 it works as a backup or I can take it out on the deck when the nicer weather comes back. it says it was manufactured in 2003

          I just started getting back into vintage LP's...Picked up a few Im really fond of, but don't wanna overdue it....It's funny, I have a really nice 250+ 45 RPM record collection I was all set to sell on Facebook...Had it listed and even had someone interested in it...But the more I thought about it, the more I just couldnt part with it...I don't know how much I'll actually play them anymore, but it's all about the nostalgia...

            I just got a large lot of 45's in from an ebay purchase, about 73 45's I got for $22 shipped. still working my way through them, it's great for those one hit wonder types. there is just something about the sound you get from vinyl that you don't get from CD's

                      haven't had much time to hit sales the past month or so because I have been redoing my kitchen, but yesterday while out running errands I saw signs for an estate sale so decided to check it out. I got this beauty for $50.00

                      they wanted 85 but one speaker was not working so they took 50. I figured it was an easy fix and sure enough, opened it up and it was just a loose wire. thing is in amazing shape and sounds great. Unfortunately, it needed a needle and when I took the old one out the cartridge broke so now I have to replace the part. oh, well, it's always something

                        My parents still have one of those in their basement. My dad just removed the tv 2 weeks ago.
                        Fresh, not from concentrate.

                          what I love about it is the large storage section on one side. holds a lot of LP's.
                          I have an old cherry console tv cabinet. my grandfather had taken the tv out when it died, added a back to is and shelf inside and it served as their liquor cabinet for many years, then when they passed I took it and it is my TV cabinet. flat screen on top, surround sound receiver, bluray and vcr inside...oh yeah and PS4, LOL

                            This is how the week started. Probably one of the best I've had in a long time. This one is going to get framed...HUGE FAN!!! of Peter Max:





                            I think that it is a rushed signature...but it looks like it is Peter Max's signature. I think it says "For Victor". I usually don't put what I spent on an item...but this is going up on my wall. One Dollar

                            More pics to come from this very good week.
