Another successful mission

It was a quiet afternoon at work. Nothing much happening. My mobile sat silently in front of me propped up against my second monitor.

Brr ring Brr ring (well not exactly that noise). The caller name pops up on the screen. Dave Shop.

I smile as this is normally good news. It turns out to be very good news. For those of you that don't know Dave is my regular (for the last 12 years) record dealer. Ive spent more than i care to remember in his shop and also am one of the lucky few to on certain occasions to get access to his house to look through record collections before they are brought to the shop.

It turns out that he is picking up some records from a guy i know who used to work in another local record shop. I know immediately that these records will be firstly unplayed and secondly rare as i've had the good fortune to buy 1000's of records from this source in the past. Theres a catch. The records will be in the shop the next morning.

I have work the next day. Shite. A hasty email is sent off requesting holiday and i'm then i'm free. All i have to do is get to the shop before 10.00am to beat off the other regular record buyers before they get their mitts on the tunes.

Luckily i'm there early and even before Dave and help carry the records into the shop. The other record hunters turn up and i've already taken 90% of all the 12" and virtually all the dance LP's leaving them to fight over the indie, rock and 7"s. Job well done. And i'm £223 skinter. And probably 223 pounds heavier as i struggle out the door with 2 record bags, a full record carry case and one plastic bag full of vinyl.

So what did i buy? Well ill post a full list shortly but to cut a moderately long story short it turns out my choices are spot on as usual (special thanks goes out to my Internet phone once again) and a good profit is guaranteed with the addition of some nice gems to my own collection.
