or just plain stupid? I had a flea market woman say to me "You must not like music if you can't find something you like in all those records". I replied that the ones I looked at that I would have been interested in were all badly marred and scratched. She replied "well, I've got a product I will sell you that will take the scratches right out of those records and make em look like new" as she pointed to a stack of tins of some sort of polish. I was speechless. Also the records where stacked like pancakes in 4 ft piles. Oh, and when I first asked about price, as they were unmarked, she said "just pick out what you want and we'll talk about it". I didn't waste my time looking at many, but all the ones I did look at were trashed.
