he's smart...

He just asks them what they want for them and either buys them or leaves them. He once bought a full stack of very rare sealed Lp's from the artist's mother (maybe 8 total) and sold them for about $5k each. I don't know what the title was but that was a coup. With the proceeds, he bought a brand new chevy van which he still drives and dones with the vanity plate "ALBUMS". I have only bought one item from him personally, a Beatles two lep set (the "Red Album") which was a German pressing and he revealed that fact in case I didn't want it. He is meticulous and describes his stuff fairly by my accounts. He also bought a couple of Lps from me recently after learning that I had some here in my shop for sale and paid me $5 for one and $3 for the other. I set the prices. He probably makes about ten times that when he sells them. That's fine by me; it's his deal. It just sucks that those guys get the gravy from many of the shops and leave the dregs for poor slobs like us! One good thing though is that he doesn't really bother with classical unless he recognizes $100's of dollars worth for an Lp. He is really sharp for Rock Lp's and can go though a huge stack in only a few minutes.
