Yes Ohlala, I too have been to Bills, and now prefer Half Price Books. Lots to dig through, but the occasional gem at a fair price makes it worthwhile. Nice too for the wife and kid to peruse the used books and computer software instead of asking when I will be through.
Vinyl in Vegas?
Since we seem to be discussing the merits of vinyl shops I would like anybody's opinion on Wax Trax in Las Vegas. Am I the only one that thinks this place is the biggest hose job in the world of vinyl? The guy had tons of stuff but the prices were absolutely outrageous. Nothing was priced and the proprietor seemed to pull numbers out of thin air. Basically wanted mint dollars for a ton of VG merchandise.
He did have an incredible selection but the overall condition of most of his vinyl was mediocre. You really have to arm wrestle with this guy otherwise you will get supremely hosed. When I walked in he told me to not even bother looking "downstairs" unless I was prepared to pay $20 and up. I should have walked out the front door instead.
Just my opinion. So are there any other places to check out when I'm tired of throwing the dice?
