3 Times I Almost Died Buying Records

[@biffboffo]

But at the end of the day, these people DID have records. Imagine going down to the basement for records and seeing no records.

[@noblerecords]

That would somehow be way worse 🤣

Dude, you were right about just taking Benadryl. When I lived in Southern California I got bit by a spider and started having awful cramps and the same symptoms as you. I went to the ER and guess what they said….take Benadryl you’ll be fine. Lol

[@noblerecords]

YUP! Saved thousands!

[@Griffdog21]

Which is weird because if you take too much Benadryl people report hallucinating spiders. Never done it myself but I've heard it isn't fun.

[@Wigglyairwizard]

Just found your channel and I’ve been enjoying your content. This video hit home for me (literally). I live in NC as well, while there are a lot of crazy people in the world generally, some of the people here in the small towns of NC are a special flavor of wacko that keeps me looking over my shoulder, refusing drinks, and declining dinner invitations. Not just with records, but it seems like anytime someone is selling something it’s in their damn basement!

[@terriatmore1133]

Holy crap, Dillon! Those are really crazy stories! I'm glad you aren't taking those same risks. You're a lucky man!!!

The reason why I love your channel is your storytelling skills. I can really feel the passion and your descriptive skills are so vivid and visual that you are able to take us there at the actual scene by imagination. Well done mate!

[@albert71292]

After hearing this, glad I bought all the vinyl I wanted back when it was released, or when chain record stores were around in the 1970's/1980's, and I bought new releases/reissues from those places (like "Musicland"). Have nearly 600 LPs in my collection, before I switched to the CD format in 1984. Always enjoy your videos here!

[@kensims4086]

How many cds did the store have first time you seen them? When I seen the first cd player on display at Sears they only had 1 cd to sell, Pink Floyd dark side. Then few weeks later they added John cougar uh huh cd.

[@albert71292]

@@kensims4086 Bought my first CD player at Sears in 1984. They had a small display in the back corner of the record section, maybe 20 or so titles (back when they came in those large clear plastic blister packs. I bought The Police "Synchronicity" and Madonna "Like A Virgin" the day I bought the player. Still have them.

dude The fact you talk about finding these records so casually. In Australia it's WAY harder to find anything good and I end up forking out big prices for the big brands. hope I can find the holy grail someday though. glad you're safe as well

[@noblerecords]

Thanks! I can imagine there aren’t as many records in Australia. Good luck on your digs!

[@lukegoodwin7560]

Plenty of digging to do in South Australia... guess it depends where you are. I've had a lot of good stuff falling in my lap this last year or two. Luckily I don't have any life threatening tales to tell - just a few creepy ones.

[@99problemstoysaint1]

Epic!! Please tell more record tales. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@DCToonTime]

Hilarious stories, dude. Glad you made it out alive!

[@mondoenterprises6710]

Thanks. That's actually important info. I recently turned down an offer to go into the basement to look at records at a person's house out in the country.

[@NickP333]

Wow… 😂 Damn, Dillon. Glad ya made it out of those situations. A lotta weirdos out there, man. I’ve bought my share of collections, but there was one I went to see where all the records were in the garage and his living room. He said something like, “all the good records are in the basement”. (Those damn basements! lol) Sounded a bit fishy, and I was getting weird vibes from the guy anyway. He kept asking how much $ I brought with me. Told him I’d be back with a uhaul or my friends truck, and never went back…

[@noblerecords]

Haha yeah you gotta trust your gut

Only dicey situation I ever went into was in a housing project. I knew the dude from the flea market but kept putting off going to his apartment because I knew the reputation of that place. I finally went over there and thankfully there wasn't any issues. He did have some amazing Jazz and Soul as he had said but the conditions were awful. I don't think I bought anything actually.

[@deancronin6934]

This could have been a Halloween 🎃 episode it was spooky, full Dahlmer vibes … myself I have dug in basements, garages, less than hygienic circumstances, but never attacked, worst situation was an elderly couple who chain smoked and their living room was foggy with cigarette smoke, and so were the records lol, it’s all fun digging in Canada eh

Hey Dylan - great stories & advice! Since you said Led Zeppelin III is your favorite album of all-time, I wanted to ask what you think the value is of a Zep III copy I have. I have a Greek pressing that was bought in Greece in the early 1980s. It is pristine, likely played once or twice only. It has a gatefold cover but the front is only a picture of the wheel - not a functional wheel. This was how it was made and is not a spinning wheel that is broken. I also have a Led Zep II Greek pressing that is a gatefold cover, except the outside color is black instead of brown. Both of these are on Atlantic. Any ideas what they're worth?

[@krankrocker]

For a long time I was looking for Bola Sete's "Ocean" album on vinyl. This was back before the internet. One night I checked for it at the old Django Records in Portland OR. They didn't have it, as they and the other stores I checked had not had it (for months). Next morning I was at a bus stop and spent a long time talking to a homeless dude. This cheered the dude up. We had a good conversation. And then that night I went back to Django and they had the album. Karma?

[@swifty_real]

That dude that said he could shoot you and say you broke into his house is wrong. I have my concealed carry ... he would still have to prove self-defense. You are right about being shot in the back. If he shot you in the back, it could show that you were running or not being aggressive to him. In North Carolina, you can not shoot someone for simply robbing your house or car without a weapon.

[@noblerecords]

Good to know 🤣 didn’t seem right but I wasn’t sticking around to find out

[@swifty_real]

@Noble Records yeah definitely not a good situation. It was a good choice to walk out of there. I definitely couldn't have called the bluff in that situation.

Only went into a basement once, and I never will again. Nothing bad happened, but I was 14ish (didn't know any better), and one of the houses on the main street in town had a sign on their yard for a vinyl sale inside. It was the middle of the summer, and I figured they didn't want their precious vinyl to sit out in the sun all day. I told my parents about how I wanted to go over and check out what was available, and they insisted I go with my older brother, and not alone. I relented, and sure enough, my brother and I got there and the guy who answered the door escorted us down to the basement...I still remember the way how he insisted we go down the stairs first..Again, and very luckily, nothing bad happened. I ended up not purchasing anything because it was all out of my price range at the time. But the thought, a decade later, now looms in the back of my head that it could've gone very wrong after he insisted we go to the basement.

[@naturalmystic67]

The basement is the worst place to store LPs. Moreover, if these incidents happened in today’s society you would have to report it to the proper authorities before it happens to someone else. Too many creeps out there today. We’re not same anywhere. I’ve had several encounterments over the years while in unpleasant situations. Be aware of your surroundings and keep a keen eye on the possibility of an escape route.
