I'd be happy to see some stuff for 50% at my local cash converter. I see banged up stuff going close to RRP of a brand new model most of the time.

Yep, on the rare occasion I have looked to see what they had in (hifi stuff) most of it was cheap and knackered rubbish at nearly new prices.

One thing that is good about these places is they usually have no idea on the price of vinyl. Being a bit of a collector I've picked up some really rare stuff at shockingly low prices. Result biggrin
