I wish these all cost a dollar...
copped for Christmas on Yahoo Auctions Japan, hard to find a pair of fresh kicks in a US size 13 in Tokyo!
These are the J2 pack jawns. That price tage is killin' me though.
Where?
Don't bother - they're gone now.
no shit, but just curious where you found a Boscoe in the dollar bin.
I like those Jordan Pack 2s...but I don't really like the original Air Jordan 2....more of a 1, 3, 4, 5 guy myself. I like the black heeled AJ1 dunks that dropped too!
canada- you needed a shopping cart to haul them all away.
U KNOW HOW I DEW
"Boscoe's for sale! 1 for $3, 2 for $5!"
Used dollar bins are ok for finding stuff sometimes but I'm not worring about what I left behind. It's the 5&dime dollar bins I wish I had worked harder. '82 I was taking some classes at Galludet in DC. I'd stop in this liquor store once a week to buy a record, Lynn Collins Think, JBs Pass The Peas, another JBs I think, A Parliment and Smoky Quite Storm, maybe some gospel records too. I know there were multiples of all that stuff plus lots and lots of Redd Foxx records. Were there Brockingtons, Rudy Ray Moores, Andrew White? I don't know probably.
In Portland about the same time this basement TV repair shop had gospel records. I bought a few good ones but could only afford 3 or 4 a year.
A few years later Peaches in Seattle had a blow out of really good records, a lot of Japanese P-Vine titles. I only had the money to cop a few. About '88 I hit the Tower Records cut out store in NYC. Lots of Folkways and New World titles plus who knows what. I remember I spent a fortune and walked out with a big stack, Maybe $20 10 - 15 records, I thought I was a baller.
When I opened my shop in '90 I had to secret spots. The first was Fred Meyers where they had a rack that always had 2 or 3 Norman Connors Slewfoot and I forget the couple of good titles there. Then there was a second floor warehouse near the Burnside Bridge, They had stacks of Clones Of Dr Funkenstein, Brides Of Funkenstein, MEco, Traveres, Bt Express, Brass Construction and on and on like that. I'd spend 50 - 100 a month at a dollar a record. It burnt down before I was finished clearing it out. They also had this Elvis Book that was set up kinda like a scrap book, I sold a stack of those too for a nice markup.
It's that liquor store in DC that haunts me.
