• Ugh god... Forgot about that nasty-ass guava stuff! So glad the kiwi and/or guava thing didn't survive the 90s. I'll take the '00s trendy fruits (pom, a??ai, mangosteen) ten days a week. What are the most underrated fruits then? Grapes, ma…

• A perfect mango will momentarily change your life, but they are rarely lucked into. The ones I buy tend to go from not-yet-ripe to mushy bruised and gross with seemingly no warning... Never been a fan of melon based fruits really, but as far…

• I'm still not convinced the the Mexican Bidder is just one person, or even Mexican for that matter. Back to the original question, $10 seems like a pretty low ceiling if you're talking quality 60s OGs. $15-25 would get you a lot of good p…

• Jamaican is a really, really broad term as far as buying 45s goes. Latin kinda is too. Plus the "mexican bidder" will see to it that you never pay less than $10 anything 60s-JA related.

• [antiquesroadshow] So one more question, do you think that adhering the label back on with an after market glue will decrease the value of the 45? Would it actually be more desirable if left as-is? [/antiquesroadshow]
