Congrats to Ako, thats a perfect of example of right guy getting the right stuff, for the right price!
Me, ive been digging through a 15,000 LP collection in a warehouse since early Feb, and finalyl got thru the LPs last week. literally 30+ skids piled high each with about 25 mail totes full of LPs. insane variety, heavy on multiples, lots of shit mixed in like bad easy listening (picture a whole box of multiples of Johnny mathis for example), and such but also tons and tons and tons of cool stuff id simply never ever seen before, in every genre, jazz, soul, rock, blues, country, comedy, soundtracks, even some rap and other new type stuff i didnt have or had never seen. Everything was $1, $2, or $5 depending on whether the guy knows it or thinks it shit (and boy is he wrong at times), or if the record is in off condition. also some random acetates and even a rare 'thick' edison record (seen below). Note there are over 100 pictures coming, so allow some time to load up here. sorry!
theres also at least 400 full boxes of 45s too, havent really touched that yet, but i did dabble around the edges and some results are mixed in below.
^^ after bitching about Tom Scott in the SoulStrut 100 thread never showing up for me in 15 years, i felt if it was gonna turn up it would be in this collection... and it was. $2 mint.
also thanks to Jonny in NYC i finally have the 3rd Chocolate Watchband LP on Tower. completing that trifecta took 10 years.

This is a much better record then the Sweet Unit LP and the other Rock Of Ages. I had no clue that there was a connection between the two bands

anyone know the 1st one, ungoogleable private jazz in homemade sleeve, starts spiritual then gets a bit jazzfunk. probable africian-american convert to islam, tough google territory. this sounds like it could be big to japanman or jazzman gerald types. 2nd is us army jazzfunk i've had once before. found lots more metal, aor, brazilian, soul 45s though nothing terribly exciting

So Karlophone and Ako got me jonesin' with their sick finds and I excurse'd on excursions. Flea market had some decent 45s all under 5 most for a dollar and all clean copies. Rocked out some late morning thrift store dollar bins and got lucky with Lightnin' Rod and Clea Bradford which has a very decent version of summertime among other nice tracks. Jane and wreckless were from a dealer but very fairly priced.
These are some of the highlights.
Sir Joe was not in the field but, I was forced to splurge but sometimes you gotta. Still sealed, so i nervously cracked it open and beautiful piece of wax was revealed!
