Used Record Shows in San Francisco Bay Area...

Years ago, when I lived in Dallas, I periodically attended a used record show at the local convention center. Think of it as a flea market for LPs. There always seemed to be something interesting, and the prices were very low. Does anyone know of a similar kind of thing in the San Francisco Bay Area? The only outlets for LPs I'm aware of here are retail with HUGE prices.

The Fremont store just lowered prices for all used LPs from 50c to 25c. I found 10 LPs there yesterday ... about half of them are keepers after a good cleaning.

I'm using this as an opportunity to amass a huge collection of classical music. I'll work my way through it, and once I've found pieces I really like then if the LP is in poor shape I'll get a CD/SACD/DVDA of that piece.

Rasputin also has a store in Fremont, at 880 and Mowry, in case you're in the south bay. There's loads of used LPs for 50cents each, but be prepared to spend some time as the majority are thrashed. They also have used CDs.
I've had about 30-40 LPs off them for less than $20, and this has allowed me to sample several new (old) bands and composers. I've also found a few classical boxed sets in perfect condition for $2-3 each.
