I strolled into The Bop Shop 15 minutes after a man traded in mint copies of Tom Waits' entire discography that he'd purchased new over 40 years, played once, and shelved. I bought them all on the spot for $20 apiece.
I've been doing this for years. Do it long enough and crazy things will happen.
Also which Budd album?

I bought the complete Budd/John Foxx collaborations vinyl box set recently and already had
The Pearl,
Moon & Melodies with Cocteau Twins, and
The Serpent in Quicksilver on wax so finding
The Lovely Thunder for $5 was a no-brainer purchase.

See my reply to Ninetales above. It's a hole in the wall collector's shop with home-taped exploitation VHSes and original horror posters. But after finding the fourth mint Tom Waits LP I stopped and started shelving them together for the next lady or gen who passes through. They were priced below market value. The cheapest US copy of
Black Rider on Discogs right now is only VG and listed at $157. The one in the shop looked mint and was stickered at $100.

Wow, are you a Rochesterian? The shop was new to me so I don't know.
