So then Ray says to me, "Why don't you bring a box full of records down, we can work something out, and you can sell them on consignment?"
I almost jump out of my Red Wings at the thought! I scoured through my 78's and some of my LP's that I didn't really listen to that much or records that I thought might do well in an antique store. I brought down about 50 - 78 speed records to sell at a buck a piece. Nothing special just the dime-a-dozen waltzes and fox trots you can pretty much pick up anywhere. Even those, though, have a nice old antique feel that put you in another place as you listen to them. I also brought down about 40 records that I have priced anywhere from a couple bucks to $10-15. I mostly just priced them by my heart, what some were going for on ebay, or the Jerry Osborne Rockin Records guide.
Apparently I sold 5 records at Elgin Uniques Grand Opening! If I remember correctly, I sold Led Zeppelin "Coda", a Chuck Berry 2 record set, Blues Brothers "Made In America", and perhaps an old Duke Ellington live set. I'll be switching out some records and adding others that I get. We'll see how it goes, ya know, vinyl is making a comeback. . .
How does "Comeback Records and Music Emporium" sound for a record store name?
