This story has little point and is merely the latest in a long line of moans about ridiculously overpriced records so i apologise in advance.
I browsed through an enourmous stall of records at a local market, Julio Iglesias and Shirlet Bassey and bad 80s pop by the bucketload. "All €8 unless otherwise priced". I eventually found two reords that were worth €8 but I already had one of them and didn't really fancy the other as my will to live had been crushed out of me. But seriously where does someone pull €8 as a suitbale price for stuff they've no idea about. Did they actually think that €10 was too much but they don't want to be robbed by all the hipsters now that "records are worth money". As it turns out there are two antique stalls in the same market who want €10 for their cruddy lps so this probably is the thought process (TOTP, common as muck folk, Chris De Burgh, usually trashed) and more for their RCA/Camden Elvis comps 9also trashed).
Maybe we should have a "no finds" thread for stuff like this.
