Are music only Oxfam shops common? If so where are they? I ask because my Oxfam are opening a music only shop in Reading and I never knew these existed.

There's one here in Winchester...The people who run it do it "by the book", a Beatles, Stones, Doors album starts at £15. There are some bargains to be had though, worth checking every now and again.
They once tried to charge me £40 for "songs of experience" listed as MINT that looked like it had been on someone's floor for 10 years....

A friend of mine runs the books and records Oxfam in Dublin and generally looks stuff up on ebay or gemm and goes for half the average price there, with some allowance for condition but I think she doesn't have time to check every one and is so open to persuasion that if something turns out to be fucked.Enthusiastic vagueness passes for scholarship in the twilight world of the disc-jockey.

I've had a couple of bits out of the Winchester one too.
We've got one down here in Southampton too, which I used to go to regularly to assist at. Music, books about music and related gear, but a good amount of the floor space is reserved for vinyl.Matt Hero

There are a few music-only shops around the country, a couple in Scotland, one in Hertford, Ealing... not sure where else. There is a new one opening in Portebello Road next week, it's mostly books but there should be quite a lot of records too.
I've been assisting at the Ealing shop for quite a while, some of the pricing is very unreasonable but the stuff always sells though! I suppose it is for charity. We managed to sell the "Christmas Party" KPM for £25!

Nonetheless, I was in attendance for the opening of the music shop and the staff have always been helpful and friendly.
