Ages ago at Utrecht Record Fair.
There is a stall of a French seller with pop music. Because sometimes metal records can be found in cheap prices, i search all his records.

At the end, after nothing found, i leave but i hit with my foot something.
I look and under his stall there is a box of records that could not be seen if someone did not stumble on it.

I ask the seller, what is this and he replies "it's just records that don't worth shit, if you see anything you want it's 3 DM each". I check and find a few metal records and among them the "Ride the Lightning" original green cover!!!!

Bumping this epic thread in the hope that there have been some new adventures in this field in the last couple of years.
If you've never read this thread before i urge you to do so, there are some amazingly entertaining tales to be found.

Not the best story but what the hell.
About 3/4 years ago I was browsing craigslist pages (the European counterpart anyway) and saw someone advertise '1000 hard rock tapes'. No pictures, no bands, no mention of home-dubbed or original. Sometimes you need to take a gamble so the next morning I woke up at 4 AM and drove 200 kilometres to Holland in order to catch the guy before he went off to work. He had 5 crates filled with tapes in his hall, and when I had a look at the first row of the first crate I could spot names likes Swazafix, Old funeral and Acrostichon. Turns out he used to run his own quite wellknown zine/label. I bought the whole lot for a ridiculous price and ended up with over 1500 demotapes. Half shit, one quarter decent, and one quarter gold. Later I went back and bought all the old zines he still had left.

Yup. He's out of music and got into long distance running. I got into long distance running but never got rid of the music :)

Just been re-reading some of the tremendous tales in this thread & thought i'd give it a bump in the hope that members might be inspired to share some more yarns in the same vein.
