your best dollar bin find?

TrueStu · January 2007

When I say dollar bin, I mean literally $1.00 or less.I personally haven't found much in most dollar bins, so I often don't bother to look. Seems like most shops in Austin know enough to not put some raers in the dollar bin.

My best dollar bin find was this:

Probably the hardest Psych record I've found in the field. What's your best dollar bin find?

I know someone who found a Phase & Rhythm 'Brainfood/Hyperactive' 12" for $1 as well, which is pretty good going.

djsheep · January 2007

Tons and tons of Japanese and Austalian bangers - like BIG records.
Endless amounts of ill 90s rap and indie joints.

Two things that spring to mind on the jazz/funk tip are;

Nico Gomez - Ritual - 50 cents
Roy Porter - Inner Feelings - $1.50

peace.

Not my best dollar bin find ever, but I picked this up for $0.50 last weekend, and I'm digging the hell out of it:

One of the better recent eurobin finds:

erewhon · January 2007

It's hard for me to think of a favorite or most valuable record that *wasn't* purchased for $1 or less. Maybe some (like 20%) were $2 or $3, but otherwise...

In the rare instance I drop $10 on a record, it's usually worth exactly that, but with the dollar bins, the sky's the limit: $1 to $1000.

Sun Ra - Supersonic Soul
BQ in Full Effect Ep
Hector Rivera - Viva Rivera!
Milton Wright - Spaced!
Oneness of Juju - African Rhythms
James "Jack Rabbit" Martin - Rabbit Trax I
Synergy - Project 5
California Soul - Marlena Shaw
Down Down Down/Over and Over - Sylvester

etc. etc.

i found a lightnin rod hustlers convention on the sidewalk in front of a record spot. I guess whoever had em tried to sell em to the shop but they didn't want em for some reason. No cover but the wax was still in good shape! I got the new birth lp with "I can't understand it" and another one with the "honeybee" cut at the infamous SD tower come up. No skull snaps there though.....

djkingotto · January 2007

Olympic Runners, put your music where your mouth is
Al Hurt, Soul in the Horn
found that green New Birth record and it had another one of thier albums inside. both had breaks.

back in 1990, my man found the Incredible Bongo Band in the 29 cent bin at golden oldies. the cover was wrecked but the record was cool. we bugged out.

found the Intergalactic Funk Band album with "Space Dust" on it for like $3....
