Taking a chance in Nashville...

Took the family into Nashville for the weekend for some family stuff, so when I found some free time of course I had to go junkin'. First up was a very big Goodwill (much larger than the one in my town). Had a decent amount of records, and I had a lot of time on Saturday so I picked out about 20 or so I was interested in, and checked what I could on ebay on my old cell phone. This is slow and tedious, but I whittled them down to about 8 I was interested in. A few gospel, and some Disney LP's I couldn't find on ebay. Hopefully at least one is a winner.

Then the next day I took the wife to her sister's house to prepare for a birthday party later in the day. I stopped at a thrift store where I had some good luck about 6 months ago - scored an obscure Nashville goth/electronic music record for .99 cents that later sold for about $50. They have a TON of records, and I had limited time. I picked out about 45 that held promise - but I had no time to check on my cell phone for duds! I ended up buying about 30 (for a buck a piece). Hopefully I have quite a few winners and fast sellers (though I doubt any of this will sell fast as it is a lot of obscure gospel) - but we shall see! Normally I wouldn't have splurged $30 but I had already spent 45 minutes in the place and needed to be back. I will update if I find any winners.

PS - I am actually substitute teaching now, and actually posting this from an assignment! The class is taking a test.
