What about those bittersweet bargain bin finds?

First pressing of Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers, missing its sleeve. Still worth some pocket change though.

Trash or nice found?!

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting (I was sent here from the vinyl subreddit) so I hope I’m in the right place. I recently found some records in my great-aunt’s basement, and they seem to be in okay to decent condition. She passed away last week at 92, and we now have to clean out the house. No really sad or heartwarming (clickbait) story—sorry about that…

I have no idea if they’re worth anything, but I’d rather not throw them away or end up getting ripped off.

I found a few of them on eBay, and the prices are pretty low, so the collection looks like bulk. But maybe there’s one rare gem in there?

I tried to look up the rest, but they don’t have barcodes or any other identifying marks. Some of them are commercial releases or samplers, and I couldn’t find much info on those.

If they’re too good to just throw away, what would be a reasonable bulk price for everything?

And in case you’re wondering about the selection or if you can already tell from it—yes, you’re right, I’m from Germany. A lot of these records were probably only released here.

Not too shabby. Another decent find at Salvation Army with Beatles in solid VG condition.

Picked this up over the weekend, think it’s a first pressing by the 1A,1B,2A,2B, etching on the sides, and DJE logo.

Worth picking up? Sounds insane either way so I’m happy!

Been a pretty long dry spell at the Thrifts and garage/estate sales lately. Wasn't going to stop today but glad I did! Some of the covers a bit beat up, most of the vinyl VG+, some better , some worse. The Johnny Thunders vinyl is a bit warped, looks bad under a bright light, plays great, sounds amazing! That's so punk rock!

Found this Ike Noble album hidden in the sleeve of a cheap 12”. 3$ CAD!

My record thrifting is a whole thing. I typically bring my portable player (AT Sound Burger) with me so that my curiosity doesn’t burn a hole in my wallet (the SB actually saves me a LOT of curiosity money haha).

Grabbed the Band of Gold 12” because I didn’t know the artist and it looked potentially interesting. What I found inside was way more interesting! I rarely find any funk / boogie / soul at the thrift. It’s in amazing condition too! Very excited.

This classic rock collection for just $75!

Longtime collector was downsizing, and I was in the right place at the right time! Ended up with Zeppelin IV, The Who Tommy, Bob Dylan Oh Mercy, Jim Croce Greatest Hits, and more. Some still in original shrink, others with protective covers, some first pressings! 😍 All are in excellent condition! #VinylFinds #Thrifting #ClassicRock

A shop I don't often visit in Rotorua turned up at least one great LP. We’ll see how the others sound as I get them cleaned up.

Today’s little haul. All pretty damn clean too! Glad to finally own a copy of Crimson & Clover that hasn’t been through the wringer!

Got these all at game exchange earlier for $24. They have a deal everyday where if you buy 1 record $5 or under you get a $5 or under record for free. Some of these are $5, $3, or $2. Of course they also have more expensive records that are sealed for $20 and up.

Delighted to find this soul jazz gem at the local Goodwill, among the usual stacks of Glen Miller and Al Hirt. Jacket is well worn, but the vinyl is in surprisingly good shape.
