Best goodwill/thriftshop finds

[whomad1215]

Found SRV Texas Flood, and Eric Clapton "Slowhand" vinyls at Goodwill yesterday. $1.99 a piece, nearly perfect condition

Starbucks burr grinder for $6.99

I while ago I found a projector for $10 and sold it on ebay for $300.

My brother is the master at that stuff. He probably makes half of his income from "junking". He goes to thrift stores, spends $50 on "vintage" stuff (mostly lights), then makes tons of profit from selling it. It's pretty amazing.

I have tried digging through the vinyl and stuff there and I can never seem to find anything worth of value. Maybe I'm doing it wrong...

I went to one near my place last year and came out with Back in Black, a few old Led Zeppelin albums, some old Bob Dylan, and a few others, all in perfect shape. Somebody must have emptied out their collection because I found them all in one trip. I spent like $2 total.

I have several chord organs and1980s Casio keyboards that I got at thrift stores for $15 and less. The last one I got was a Casio Rapman for $2.

My brother in law scored a US, Kalamazoo made Epiphone Spirit- I don't recall if it was a Junior or a Special. $75.

1984ish Fender Concert II head and 2 12" Cabinet.

The amp still had the plastic beauty queen sash from its days on a showroom floor.
Could have had the 1984 Am Standard Tele too but was short of funds.
