The feeling of not knowing what you're gonna find or that treasure hunt feeling of searching for "The One" album or piece of Holy Grail you've been looking for. That's why I like flea markets and yard sales. Always good for old out-of-print albums and cds. Cassettes too. I still have my tape player.
Absolutely. AKA on 2nd street is one of my favorite record/CD stores ever. And for old vinyl, Philadelphia Record Exchange is incredible. If you've never been, it's basically a house full to the brim with records on three floors. I could spend all day in that place.
