Is it worth it? I lived just about my whole life here and never went? Is it a mob scene?, whats admission?, can you really pick stuff up at a bargain?, do they have collectible brazilian, or is it all dollar bins? when is the best time to go?

    YaXXXXXya: its a place where record dealers meet once a year with lots of records

    YaXXXXXya: its at some pavilian on West18th street

    tXXXXXE13: is it at nite?

    tXXXXXE13: only if i can go to a club to listen to some phat beats ......

    tXXXXX13: this looks like such a dweeb-fest

    WTF is that? Is she your mother or your fiance? This would be correct:


    YaXXXXXya: I'm going go to the WFMU record fair on Friaday at 7:00 PM. Wanna come?

    FMU is the real deal. Fri is a total mob scene. lots of sharks, Matt Dillon, and other assorted folks. SERIOUS RECORDS...


    $$$$$$$$$$$$$$, but you don't have to be a to find good deals..


    Look out for the Indian dude near the back wall I believe. He gets lots of sealed overstocks from back in the day. Brohannon had like 40 sealed copies of that Oneness of Juju LP, pretty cheap.


    There are some peeps that just bring crazy rare records, with ridic price tags on them just to be Flossin'.


    I am at my wits end deciding if I should go ( I may have to regulate at my store)


    Most likely goin Sat..

    Any strutters wanna meet up, or am I too much of a newbie here to be that inviting?

    the party starts at table # L-1

    this show looks to be the best ever
    so many dealers & collectros wanting to sell, dealers on wait lists,
    folks only able to score a table for a single day,
    this time it will be more like 3 different shows !!!

    (As I mentioned in the previous FMU thread) I'll be there in buyer mode. To recognize me look for the guy with bright blue running shoes. If you want to point out funk 45 dealers you'll make me

    Is it wrong to steal records at fairs? During a moment of desperate brokeness, I'm ashamed to say I took some over priced $75 records at a total discount.

    Thats not cool is it...

    we cut off hands for anything over a $5 theft.

    i'm surprised you'd even post such a stupid thing here.

    "overpriced" is a relative term. for you i'm assuming anything over $3 is overpriced right??

    this one is expected to be off the hook, as it's the first one they've had since they switched to once a year. if you dig enough, you can score some serious shit.

    hopefully i'll be able to score a copy of "endless flight" for pretty cheap.
