While on my quarterly foray to PRE, I couldn't help but wonder how many people were in there browsing vinyl that they sold to PRE; now that vinyl is "cool" again.

IMHO, the best deals are to be found underneath the racks in the 1.00 bins. Hard as hell to look through them though with the crowded and narrow aisles. The stuff I got out there for a buck is in better condition than things I paid 3.99 - 4.99 for (same items last time were 1.99 -2.99).

It was my 14 YO daughter who wanted to go on this trip. Granted, she bought CD's, but I was really surprised at some of her choices, including The Ramones!

Wow, you guys are hardcore. At least I'll know I'm amongst friends if I go in there and see people with headlamps and roller carts that look like they're ready to throw down at the drop of a hat!

Been there a few times in the past for CDs, but I'm planning my first vinyl visit in the near future. Is there a lot of decent stuff in the $1.00 bins? I mean, is it all obscure/niche stuff or are there a lot of solid classics and mainstream albums in there?

Also, is there stuff in pretty good shape (all VG+ or better?)

The reason I ask is because while I am very new to vinyl (3 weeks in!), the few places I've been that have a large selection of used vinyl have been much higher priced (ie. nothing below $7-8, most in the $12-15 range). The concept of $1-2 bins and $3-4 bins for decent stuff seems like a pipe dream. Please tell me that I'm not just dreaming :-)
