THRIFT WITH ME FOR VINYL RECORDS | vinyl community | THRIFT STORE HAUL | record collection

[@andersdottir1111]

I rarely find 70s records in op shops (we call thrift stores, op shops) but one day I found 12! Including Neil Diamond’s Hot August Night and Live at The Greek, Leo Sayers first album , bob segar etc. I was thrilled. They were $2 each. As a teenager in the 70s we never called them vinyls always records or LPs.

[@SageReiger]

I was at the Fremont Goodwill the day after you picked up Twisted Sister and all of those other records. At least I know they're in a good home now!

[@VinylHunter]

Oh cool! I stop in there a lot!

[@waxreliquary]

Hey TUCO - You scored some decent vinyl there! Too bad about that annoying intruder who just *had* to get in your space. These types know they're being annoying, but they don't care. I had to tell one of these knuckledraggers to back off the other day at Goodwill. He was less than 3 feet from me and I don't want COVID. I guess the obvious fact that I'm wearing a mask didn't get through to him. He acted offended. Glad you got the scores before The Intruder did. LOL

[@VinylHunter]

Yeah that's so annoying! It's not the first time it's happened!

[@cynthiaquinn747]

❤😁cute funny the way you were pausing on the family gospel albums looking at the people 😄

[@Stoudman]

That massive covered wagon reminded me of an interesting film fact. During the production of the 1923 film 'The Covered Wagon', the filmmakers reached out to families who had ancestors that actually crossed the country in covered wagons, and some of them still had their covered wagons from the 1850s in their barns. They were asked to sell or rent their wagons for the film, and as a result, the film features legitimate and original actual covered wagons from the 1800s. It's in the public domain now since it's over 95 yrs old, but it's wild to think we can watch footage of the actual covered wagons from those times in a full feature film from the silent era.

[@Revolution9machspeed]

You got some really nice finds! Once when I was at a thrift store, my local Goodwill, I found a 2nd pressing of Metallica's debut album Kill 'Em All AND a 1st pressing of there Garage Days EP! I still can't understand how I got THAT STUPID LUCKY!

[@VinylHunter]

Yeah! It happens! People think you can't ever find good records at thrift stores...but, as you know, you can! You got great scores!!!

[@henrywallace2257]

Prices have gone mad here in Australia too. Used to pick up reasonable records for a dollar each now they are ten to twenty. Shame.

[@VinylHunter]

Yeah, i see so many dollar records priced for much more!

[@northcarolinavinylpicker]

Live the thrifting videos. I’m out 2-3 times a week. I like chip Davis. Reciently found fresh air 1-4. Need a couple more. Good stuff but in like new age/jazz take care. Art

[@VinylHunter]

Yeah, I've had a bunch of them, but i narrowed it down to just the early ones.

[@TorontoJon]

1:09 Hahaha! You've got to love the 1982 video game reference. :)

[@VinylHunter]

🤣😂🤣

[@TorontoJon]

27:37 I always grab belly-dancing records whenever I see them to add to my world music collection (and I have bellly-dancing CD's too). I like the Turkish and/or Middle Eastern style and the percussion for a lively, fun exotica musical experience. There's nothing better than seeing a bunch of them in one haul. :)

[@VinylHunter]

Yes! I love them! I've got a bunch!!!

[@bmboldt]

Never saw any records at the Restore. You gotta love any album titled He Touched Me.

[@VinylHunter]

I don't remember finding anything good at that ReStore, but they have had records. CB ReStore used to have a bunch. I bought a bunch of records there. I also found a Black Sabbath carnival mirror in CB.

[@billstill1794]

OK, back to the distant past! Huge intruder alert at that Goodwill - and an annoying one at that! ...Records (including 45s) went from .99 ea.to $2.99 ea. at the local Goodwills in my area (Central Pa,) and the overfilled bins of pure crap show it - in fact the selections you were going through at your local Goodwills appear the same as the ones at the Goodwills here! Used CDs are now a whopping $3.99 each! I rarely buy records & CDs there anymore.

[@VinylHunter]

Records were .59 each at Goodwill here just a few years ago!

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Always makes me want to " hit the bricks" and make the rounds. Twisted Sister was a surprise, even if you have another copy ! Shotgun !!

[@VinylHunter]

Yeah! I've already got the TS, but i can always pass it on to someone else. Huge fan! I've seen them a few times, including their last show ever!

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

@@VinylHunter Very cool ! More and more I am getting into more hard rock / metal bands ! Y&T for instance... lately !

[@scottrap]

In Los Angeles, it’s all garbage at the thrift stores. I don’t mind going repeatedly, but there’s never a payoff.

[@TorontoJon]

4:57 We have a lot of bald eagles in Canada too and I remember while travelling along a stretch of highway in Vancouver seeing at least twenty bald eagle nests and I've seen them up close nesting in the Crescent Beach area near Surrey (not far from Vancouver). They are incredible.

[@VinylHunter]

The Missouri River flooded a few years ago. The Eagles loved the flooded fields! I think it gave them easy food. I'd see up to 50 at a time! I think that's why i still see them more now.

[@northcarolinavinylpicker]

I found the Felt album in wild .49 cents

[@VinylHunter]

Nice! We're proving the naysayers wrong! 🤣

[@cosmicvinyl2937]

Hey TUCO! I don’t what it is that keeps me coming back to watch videos of a guy thumbing through some of the crappiest records out there but yet here I am! LoL! Hell I hate watching myself look through them in real time! Haha! I was highly entertained by the old school video game graphic at the beginning tho! Keep plugging away man! There’s treasure out there somewhere! Peace ☮️✌️👽🤘☮️

[@VinylHunter]

🤣😂🤣 That's how i found the vc several years ago! I was drawn to watching people dig through thrift store records!

[@Kaiwaza]

Yes!! Sea World Fantasy!!

[@VinylHunter]

I haven't listened yet! I've got high hopes!

[@j-p.8056]

Hi Tuco, thanks for another entertaining video. A lot of local gospel records there.

[@VinylHunter]

Thank you!!! So glad you dig it! The covers on those gospel record...😲!

[@oldskool1979]

I have no issues finding vinyl at thrufts. Mind you I go every day lol

[@VinylHunter]

Yeah! You and I know that you CAN find records at thrift stores! You just have to put in the work.

[@happyhippythevinylguy]

No I am definitely not one of those people who think that!! LoL. Great video my friend, I love to go great digging

[@VinylHunter]

See! You know what's up!!! Thanks for stopping by!!!

[@truck9moon100]

Check the area for on-line auctions. I have done VERY well. I just picked up 450 45's and 300 LP's for 55.00, they came from a local music store that went belly-up. Vinyl from the 50's, 60's never played. I was blown-away.

[@VinylHunter]

I used to go to auctions all the time when i used to have an antique store. I need to start going again. There's one every Thursday, if its still going?

[@petejameson3735]

Great video as always. That volunteer Jam record that you picked up was from a show that Charlie Daniels used to put on each Year for charity In Murfreesboro (just outside Of Nashville). I just picked up the exact same record Recently but haven't got a chance to listen to it yet.

[@VinylHunter]

Thank you, Pete!!! I know I'd heard of Volunteer Jam before...either I've seen the record before, or perhaps some footage popped up on youtube? I haven't listened to mine yet either, but i will soon!

[@walterpen371]

A few years ago I went into a ReHab store and surprised to see 10 boxes of records. Too bad that they were all useless garbage records, mostly discarded thrift store stuff. I'm glad to see your honesty about traveling around and finding nothing. It happens more often nowadays. Take care and ☮️.

[@VinylHunter]

Thanks! Yeah, I show ALL my thrifting trips. "Hits" or not! I wanna show the reality of thrifting for records...a lot of times i don't find anything...but, lots of times i score big!

[@Diabolik771]

The Restore in my city has a chunk of records. Found 50's Stan Getz jazz record NM and early J. Cash record there. I would have snagged that Heino record. I collect 70's German Schlager. I don't understand the language but sounds cool. I don't see too many Schlager records on your raids but a lot of Czech ones.

[@VinylHunter]

I came across a large collection of Heino records at a thrift store once...i talked myself out of going down that rabbit hole! 🤣😂🤣

[@Diabolik771]

@@VinylHunter HA HA!

[@teptime]

Vinyl thrifting was incerdible when I lived in San Francisco in the 90s. Every day, an armload of rare 60s psych lps. There were a lot of folks out to step on my toes, but I estimate that I've made over ten grand from album resale, with maybe a few hundred spent. They're just a trickle now from what they used to be.

[@monaural2.988]

Tuco, I can't say it enough in 2022; It might be the "thrill of the hunt" more in the thrift stores, but I swear that as far as MY tastes & such go, which is finding more and more deeper & obscure 50's & 60's product, the regular SENSIBLE (and I make a point capitalizing that word), new/used small independent record shop Dollar bins are where it's at for me. For example, if you have a small shop that specializes more in hard rock or punk, the odds are high that you'll find some great bargains in uncommon jazz, country or Bachelor Pad. Reason being that they just don't get the clientele, and if they're just smart enough to give them a shot at being sold, you can take out some not-bad minor gems, which even stand a better chance of being in sharp condition. Contrast that to the tired, boring & nauseating religious, orchestra & Barbra Streisands with torn up covers you go through again & again for decades at the Goodwills. Something to think of when passing through these towns. Sure thrifting rules, but check the local directories or Yelp for any hidden small record shops! Keep on Vinyling!!

[@VinylHunter]

There's only one record store on my route....brand new! I went to the grand opening. I'm guessing the video of it has got to be coming up pretty soon. I think i pulled some OK-ish stuff from the bargain bin there if i remember right...but it remains to be seen if their bargain bin will be any good. At their grand opening they only had about 1000 records... all basic classic rock stuff. But there's a handful of record stores here in Omaha. One has an OK dollar bin...i often pull 10 or more records from it. 402 Vinyl, if you get there immediately after he bought a collection, has a killer bargain bin! I had a video a while back where i got OG Shangri Las, Seeds, ELP boot and WAY more!

[@monaural2.988]

@@VinylHunter that’s what I’m talking about! I’d love to see what these bins carry often more than the predictable Goodwills, which are also pricing records at $3.00 to $5.00 now. Nope 👎

[@gootsy]

Nice intro !

[@VinylHunter]

Thank you!!! I get lots of first time viewers on all my videos, so i wanted to give them an idea of what my channel is about...before they tune out! 🤣😂😂

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi Tuco!! yep this was a good one..... and finding Twisted Sister at a Goodwill store and in good condition!! that's even better, btw please don't tell me you're an expert in belly-dancing.... cheers and be well

[@VinylHunter]

I didn't used to be an expert at belly dancing, but now that I've got all these belly dancing records... 🤣😂🤣

[@RubenEditIT]

Nice intro you got there

[@VinylHunter]

Thank you! I just realize that i get a lot of new viewers on every video, so i wanted to give them an idea of what my channel is about....before they tune out 🤣😂🤣😂

[@RubenEditIT]

@@VinylHunter nice, good idea

[@harryriles8609]

Yeah I hate those sales that are running a business out of the garage disguised as a garage sale.

[@VinylHunter]

I don't see how this one could make any money....it was just a bunch of crap! At least some of those "sales" are more like antique stores disguised as garage sales...they may have some good stuff, but very high priced. This one...all crap!

[@TCatsDeepVinylTraxx]

Ha Ha, love the instant mustache on Pat Boone. 🤣 I have ran into a few yard sales from time to time where the people running them have no idea about the value of vinyl, even now. That's why it always pays to look. I noticed the sign in front of the house (rummage sale) the arrow was also pointing the wrong way. Well, too bad it was a bomb of a sale, but at least you can buy some new Avon, vitamin supplements or Tupperware. So I'm betting that Twisted Sister record got passed over because it was the last one in the stack and everyone had given up before they got to the end, that's the only logical explanation. I've had weird anomalies like that happen, dig through a lot of garbage and find a sudden grail out of nowhere.

[@VinylHunter]

Yeah, garage sales can be the best! Maybe the Twisted Sister just got put out?

[@TCatsDeepVinylTraxx]

@@VinylHunter Oh yeah, that's possible. Sometimes we're just in the right place at the right time.

[@johntrembly2905]

I found the Jack Webb album at a Restore!

[@VinylHunter]

ReStore always seems to have some stuff you wouldn't expect to find there! I got a vintage Black Sabbath carnival mirror at one!

[@groovingonvintagevinyl7840]

When I'm in a Dixie land mood (It happens from time to time, lol) I like to put on Pete Fountain. I saw one at 19:50. If you're into any of that.

[@VinylHunter]

Same! I've got a few dixieland records for when the urge strikes!

[@RekkidTalk]

Sometimes I think I've got to get immersed in the goofy gospel family genre since there are a few of those rekkids that are valuable solely for goofy covers.

[@RekkidTalk]

AWKWARD INTRUDER, leave him nothing but Pat Boone and polka.

[@VinylHunter]

He got my scraps! 🤣😂🤣

[@VinylHunter]

I've thought about buying those gospel records before, but i don't want to go down that rabbit hole just for a laugh...i just don't have room for another "collection"!

[@delightfuldigs]

I still would have grabbed the curtis just for the cover with the sticker

[@VinylHunter]

Yeah I'm kinda kicking myself for not grabbing that! That sticker was cool! The cover was in nice shape too!

[@delightfuldigs]

all part of digging. the ones that get away. thanks for taking me with

[@why-why-whywhywhy]

No offence. But not even in my wildest imagination did I ever think I would see someone get legitimately excited over a *Twisted Sister* album. Some of the most sugary shit to ever be laid down on wax. 😋

I understand they're not for everyone. I love them though
