as Alaska hiatt accurately calls it. Whether at estate sales, yard sales, church sales, antique barns or thrift shops, it is not the way to get rich quick. Anything of real monetary value has often been cherry picked already, and condition of the LPs is seldom ideal.
I focus on classical LPs, because those tend to be the least popular, and that is the area I had most of my musical training. For years, at least in the USA, people hunted for RCA stereo "shaded dogs" and left most of the rest alone, especially mono LPs. That left a lot of great music to me at little or no cost. Eventually, collectors got wise, and the best of the rarest got snapped up, including mono.
Still, one occasionally finds interesting and unusual stuff. Just not especially valuable. Cactus cowboy finds more than most, because he has likely looked through well over a million records. So he has earned any good finds he has. But they aren't making him rich, either.
