at one of the few pawns here in town.. ..i snagged about 50 records yesterday, most of which were crappy. although i got copies of shankar family, some private press alaskan stuff, and dennis coffey for cheap. anyhow, today i returned to the place with about 30 of the records that were shitty. (note: i swapped out these thirty with a different thirty that wont be accepted at the single record shop in town because of poor condition and dollarbinnness,). so the thirty shitty records i got yesterday are going to the record shop for cred, and these other thirty which i took to the pawn-hoping i would get cred and then go back through their vinyl room. win win situation. get there to the pawn, and old dude, fucking old, is like a badger and immediately is, 'whyd you bring em back!?', then i finlaly haggle him enough to get my credit, but he says, "well ok, ill give you the credit, bbut you cant buy records here anymore. youre just too hard to please."so i walk out of there with my 70 dollar credit slip, like whoa.i guess it was a bit karmic.

acting as a "customer" like that or banning annoying people from my shop/stall ??
whichever. im guilty of both. i work in a music shop.
then I have to add "acting stupid" ...
i did what any selfrespecting poor bastard trying to take advantage of record buying would do though
If you really bought that much crap you need to either.
1. get your weight up and do some proper research.
2. get a portable.
2. get a portable.
and return it
I just spit out my beer.
Nope. but I did go around Downey & Norwalk. Found a decent Goodwill on the border. I guess I live to deep in suburbia for pawnshops with records in 'em...
Any Eskimo funk?
dope!
So you bought records for 2.25 that were good enough to take to the record store for trade? Then you took a bunch of records (that are not good enough for the record store) and tried to tell the pawn that you had bought them at the pawn shop?
But the pawn won out because they gave you 2.25 each in credit, but then said you couldn't shop there so your credit is now worthless?
No, I have never tried to return something to a store I did not buy it from
No, I have never returned anything because I did not like it.
No, I have never banned anyone from buying my records.

I never even knew people did this untill I got to Soulstrut.
you are a better person, im worse. but i got records and i feel ok.
yes, until dude actually gets some good records in and you can't buy them.
burning a bridge to win slightly, overall bad strategy. especially if your resources are limited. plus, it's petty.
but hey, way to go bro, you're sooooo crafty *roll*
don't encourage the boy! he's not half the badassss that guy who steals from goodwill is, yo!
seriously? I know this one dude from alaska and he says its not like that. But that shit sounds
and then its dark for like 3 months right?
With such attidude not only financial resources seem to be limited ...
MrSucker is littL[/b]echildcute compared to those !!
