876.0. "ALBUMS FOR SALE!" by VENOM::WATERS (The Legend of the Lakes) Tue Aug 25 1987 09:17

    Now that I've got a CD I don't think I'll be listing to anymore
    albums!  As a matter of fact I disconnected my turntable all together
    and put it in storage.  Is there a notes file created, besides the
    classified to put some of my albums up for sale.  I have a lot of
    brand new albums listed to once or twice.  Does anyone out there
    have any suggestion?  I heard rocket records will buy some selective
    albums from you for a buck or two but I would like to get a little
    more for the newer ones.

    John,
    
     The RECORDS and CLASSIFIED_ADS conferences are certainly both worth
    a try. However, $2-3 bucks for a used record is about the most you
    can expect (obscure/rare albums excepted). Remember, most albums
    eventually wind up in the cutout bin for $3 or so, and they're new.
    
     I'd suggest you look through a used records price guide to see
    if you have any rarities.....no sense selling a $15 record for $3.
    Another method of disposing of the records is to sell them at a
    record convention - although you may have to pay a charge just to
    set up your booth, you can at least ask the price you think the
    records are worth.
    
     At least you can take comfort in the fact that if you ever want
    to sell unwanted CD's, you can get from 1/2 to 2/3's of the price
    you paid for it :-).........................

    I know what your saying MUN!  I don't expect much more than three
    bucks for the ones I just recently bought.  Now that I've got the
    CD player I doubt I'll ever listen to another album!
    Thanks for the infor!

876.6Al BumsGCANYN::MACNEALBig MacWed Sep 09 1987 13:302
    "Al Bums" in Worcester buys and sells used records.  One of their shops
    is located on Route 9 (atually in Shrewsbury) next to Spag's.

    	I guess you havn't been to Al Bums on route 9 in Shrewsbury
    lately. They are no longer there. in fact the building was 
    demolished. They have a place in leominster at the Twin city
    plaza but i'm not sure if they relocated anywhere in worcester.
    if someone knows let me know.

There IS an "Al Bum's" in Worcester; my brother went there last Friday, in 
fact.  He gave me the address, but I threw it away since I wasn't interested 
in going to Worcester for records (it's funny how buying a GOOD CD player 
finally converted me to the benefits of that medium, but I'll start a war if I 
dare repeat the disreputable name of the one I bought).  Sorry!

It took awhile for it to sink in, when he told me the name.  I thought, "How 
disgusting!" at first.  Then I realised that it was even more disgusting than 
I thought, since it's a tacky pun.

         You will have better luck selling/swapping CD's in
         CERBUS::CDSWAP (Hit KP 7 to select).
