  • ARC - Nov 2019

    The fall show was slower but sales were still good for me. I didn't take as many photos this time. It seems like the wall records are mostly the same each time so I didn't bother. Priced to the point where they aren't going to sell. Someone commented to me that it was more like a museum and that people just want to show their pricey records to other people and not actually sell them. The dealers that come in with records priced 3x the going rate and then start off the first morning saying everything is 1/2 off is funny to me. There was one record I wanted that typically goes for $100-150 that was priced at $275 on a wall. I asked what was the best he could do and he said he'd take $50 off. That was on Friday morning. I went back Sunday afternoon and was told he was still giving $50 off. It is semi-rare but not to the point were I can't go find a cleaner copy for at least $100 less online so I passed. Several non-dealer friends that came to the show said they were having the same experience. That they felt stuff was priced on the high side. l did pretty well finding stuff for decent prices though. I crossed off a big Houston Boogie rare (Jefferson Ink) off my wants list and discovered another (Mystic's Krewe) that I had never seen before. I cracked the seal on the Jefferson Ink and played it and others I found with Austin Boogie Crew Saturday night at The Boogie. It is always fun getting people dancing and DJing for the DJs by playing them stuff that they haven't heard before.

    I think my favorite thing was when Sabadabada was banned and he placed a targeted Google Ad that said "My record collection is worth more than your house" on the Soulstrut top banner.
