Goodwill Hunting Part One

People donate stuff every day, B. This is part 1 of a series called 'Goodwill Hunting,' where I'll share my flourishments from Goodwills and local thrift stores. As I said in an earlier post, these are good places to find old cassettes and vinyl, for cheap. For $2.67, I got a sticker copy of The Notorious B.I.G.'s 'Ready To Die,' The Pharcyde's 'Labcabincalifornia,' and the classic Prince & The Revolution, 'Purple Rain.' I could flip 'Ready To Die' for 10x that, I'm sure, but I don't LIKE to (re)sell music. Either way, I'd love to hear what other people discover in their Goodwill and thrift shops. Gems!

The Concept of Goodwill Hunting

Goodwill stores (and local thrift shops) are often an untapped resource for collecting old cassettes and vintage vinyl. I've been that guy who wakes up one day and decides he has too much clutter and donates a shitload of cassettes and vinyl. A note to myself: stop doing that, you regret it every time! lol But, for the shopper, it's a nice come-up ... I've been that guy, too. Even having all the music I do, if I see a nice dusty cassette or record in a Goodwill or Salvation Army, I'm rescuing it, on principle. Don't the cassettes in the picture deserve a better home than that? I think so. So, with that said, an ongoing feature on the site will be posting gems I come across in thrift stores and Goodwill shops, it'll be aptly named 'Goodwill Hunting.' By all means, you can share some of your great finds in any posts' comments too. Also, what's the best place to shop in your city?
