We all tried to get part time jobs there before AKA part time raping of the back rooms, but those clever bastards have a policy that you have to have at least a Bachelors'(counted all of us out!) and NO part time! so you gotta be serious.
Luckily we had a friend who worked there for real and pulled out all of the back room for us once (nothing CRAZY came out, but when was the last time you found James Brown presents Stars of Tomorrow SEALED??) anyways..
craziest half price books come ups MILWAUKEE
*Eugene McDaniels Headless Hero's $.25 (back when it actually used to flip for a lot) *2 different LIGHT OF SABA lps that both got $1000 on the bay a few months back. plus a huge JA 45 score with it. *James Brown 'Its a new day so let a man come in and do the popcorn' LP in nm for $5.
NEVER find good 45s at the ones here in general. a couple private white things that were OK, no good soul/funk ever.
actually, not a whole lot of shit come to think of it. feel free to add 'historical' come ups from your neck.

manzel - space funk way back when in arlington, this was the find that got me interested in the 45 bin. I bought it with no idea of what it was just because it said "space" and "funk" on it. present day, this is one of the worst 1/2 prices in the country. what happened?

yeah man, I remember I posted on here that HPB sucked and you had clowned me by posting your HPB finds. I think you had a Saturday Night Special in there... I can't remember.
cant believe a curtis green came out of there. how close is that to lake charles?
our branches buy solely based off of condition, so this excludes most good inner city soul 45 batches..

Ha, yeah that brag is wearing kinda thin these days. that was 3 yrs ago... when I was unemployed and pretty much moved into the big 1/2 price.
RubVis, Lake Charles is probably 6-7 hours away. I never find any records in LA.
i haven't found too much crazy stuff, but some of the cool records i've found for 48 cents at HPB (that I can remember) include:
Frank Lowe- Doctor Too Much LP Holiday Express- Lady in the Rain LP Dee Dee Warwick- I Want to Be With You/I'm Gonna Make You Love Me LP Francois Rabbath- Multi-Bass LP (multiples of this) Bud Powell- Bud Powell's Moods LP (Norgran, sold it for $90 or so) Sister Carol- Black Cinderella LP more reggae that I can't remember
Comments
This needs a graemlin, at least on waxidermy
yes. and perhaps it needs to be my location as well.

Too many diggers know of it? Everyone looking to unload records already has?
