I struggled to smile, mustering the energy for the inevitable argument that often comes after that kind of inquiry. I saw what she was holding—some of the biggest albums of the 80s—and the overconfident look in her eyes told me this wouldn’t go well. With the resurgence of vinyl record sales and renewed attention around the format, countless people have mistakenly convinced themselves that the box of records collecting dust in their garage since the Reagan years is a veritable goldmine. One can imagine the conversations that lead to the pillaging of an attic after a short segment on a local newscast highlighting a burgeoning record store’s «Record Store Day» sale. You’ve seen the story: A reporter with a tight deadline interviews the droves of devoted collectors outside whatever store in wherever middle-of-nowhere town. Cue the footage of the line full of eager shoppers foaming at the mouth for over-priced «exclusive» releases. Cut to the jubilant store owner, detailing how record sales have exploded over the last few years and that this is their Christmas, the sound of the registers working overtime. The whole thing is interspersed with stock footage of money changing hands, and suddenly everyone’s an American Digger. I bet your old Jethro Tull records are worth a fortune! And as a record store owner, I’m faced with the afflicted burden of having to shatter those poor souls’ dreams. Some people know this and are just hoping to free up some space, make lunch money, and help a local business out. Some are probably going through a messy divorce, and they just want to get rid of their ex’s relics. True, sometimes though very rarely , these boxes hold coveted spoils.
I’ll never forget the time a woman hurriedly told me to give her «whatever you want» for a box full of first-pressings: Nick Drake, Bowie, Television. This recent visit certainly wasn’t one of those times. And these are originals from the 80s. And no, they weren’t autographed. To her, I was just a greedy record store owner, waiting to capitalize on her ignorance. But believe me, there is no considerable payout involved in owning a record store in So what should you do if you’re looking to unload your deadbeat uncle’s long-forgotten records and want to make sure you aren’t being taken for a ride? Pack your boxes, load them up in your mom’s SUV, and take them to the local record shop.
