I'm beginning to feel a little like John Kerry.

Thank you. Yes, my collection has humble beginnings. My first record came from a lowly bin in an old Woolworth's store in Vinton, Iowa. I scraped together 4 dollars from my pittance of an allowance and meager pay from mowing lawns to buy Sgt. Pepper's. I shoveled sidewalks and driveways to pay for All Things Must Pass, and begged my parents, poor struggling teacher and store clerk that they were, to put Let It Be and Abbey Road under the Christmas tree.

For the...um, record, my record store job lasted all of 10 months.
A fun 10 months it was, though. |

That still gives you 10 months of the sort of privileged life I was denied.

In all seriousness, do record store clerks get first dibbs on the good stuff? I sometimes think the reason I don't see more really good stuff in the bins here is all the record store kids snatch it up.

i think it was clone that said clerks will hold onto any good stuff, compare to the quality of their own copy and put out the lower quality for sale.

I'm pretty sure the record store owner here does that, since he's definitely the collector sort. But I'm not so sure all the record store clerks can afford to do so. When I worked at a clothing store and at a camera store, I'd squirrel stuff away--we were allowed to hold things back we wanted to buy for ourselves. My problem is I'd start hording stuff and then realize I couldn't possibly buy everything--which pissed off the managers royally when they could have sold the stuff handsomely to many a regular paying customer.

I graciously concede.
No, no, wait. I demand a recount!

I'm not impressed with anything I've saw in this thread, except for the structure in which Savage Clone sets his records out.
