Two Things:

1. Not all diggers are the same. One might dig for jazz and another for chicago house. Everything else in between as well as beyond genre-wise has been through that basement.

2. The 'picked over' argument is weak. They bring more records in frequently. Often you'll find records stored outside of the vinyl section because there's not much room in the basement & street level.

Bottom line, I don't blame you for trying to keep other diggers away. It's all part of the game.

he grabbed that brass construction like he found something special. that record can be found almost anywhere. if he paid more than $1 for, he got overcharged

Damn... wish we had a place like that in my country.

@rokkofb I don't have any decent record stores near me and so I do most of my vinyl purchasing online. I look for specific electronic music like drum and bass, gabber, dub, goa/psytrance, and chill music in general. I wonder if there is any of that down there in that basement even though it looks like it would just mostly a bunch of older stuff. With that much stuff in one place I think there would have to be something for everyone in there but you would be digging forever.

I visited NYC last year and checked out this store...it was pure crap. There were records stacked on top of records, and crates on top of crates...a lot of records that you could even get to...records that probably hadn't seem the light if day in years. I dug for maybe 20 minutes but it was 99% garbage. Picked over I guess.

I bet you take months/years searching through that lot & only find 3 rap records.

a spot like that most likely has a "guy" who gets first dibs on incoming loads. I always ask thrift shops if anyone searches before they go to shelf, and surprisingly about half say yes.

Sadly i would have to wear a mask to go to this places cuz of my hay fever( allergic rhinitis). But still would be awsome!

[rafasilva1]

I would spend a month going to this place, at least 3 hours a day. But as i live in Brazil, i can't.

[mycurse67]
