Interesting batch this time, I agree with you about flippers buying alot of stuff at estate sales,

[@MikeFindsThings]

They used to just go after the big name stuff. Now they sit there and look everything up.

I got Rene Hall on Specialty one of my favorites. I love the Car Shows not like old cars and collecting old records lol

[@MikeFindsThings]

It’s a lot of work doing both

Interesting batch this time! Both sides of that Standells 45 are great! So is that funky King Hannibal 45! The 45 on Kirk Records seems way-cool too! ...I'm running late today - a collector/dealer from Maryland stopped by and we made an even mega-trade so I'm wading through about 600 45s! He traded me a 200-count box for $60 - mostly R&R from the late 50's up through the 80's. Also traded for approx 300 priced titles... Found many great titles and odd labels!

You usually find great stuff in lots.

@@MikeFindsThings I began exclusively buying bulk car-loads from dealers when covid started in 2019 - I went outside to their vehicles (w/mask) then! I was the only one buying from my home for almost a year. It was crazy!

I don't have 45 rpm scores as often as you here in western Kentucky, but I found a box of 45s at an antique mall for $20 this past weekend. It was all stuff from the 1950s and 1960s and I had some nice scores that made the box worth it. I'll drop a video on my finds in a few days. I don't find nearly as much surf/lowrider/Latin music as you, but I bet I find more country. Too bad most country 7" records have basically no value, even the unknown artists that in other genres can be the valuable ones.

[@MikeFindsThings]

The region you're in definitely reflects in what you'll find out in the wild. Surf music started in Southern California and was very popular here. Soul music was popular as well. I do find country, but it's usually common stuff. An upcoming video has some country and hillbilly 78s I found in a record lot.

[@markkillion8980]

Jerry Osborne has The Victorians listed. For #411, he lists a 78 and a 45. Interestingly, he says a subsequent release by the group only came out on 78. There were definitely more 78 releases in those days. He says a Specialty 45 of #411 can go for a thousand!

[@MikeFindsThings]

When I researched it online it showed a 45 reissue that was done years later that goes for under $10. I did find an original 45 that was for sale for way less than $1K. I do know doo-wop prices aren’t what they used to be. Im thankful to be able to find this 78.

What's the best way I can find estate sales in my area? Is there a good App?

[@MikeFindsThings]

EstateSales.net or Craigslist
