Holy balls, Nat. That record collection has me salivating! Fugs, T Rex, Stooges, The Litter, Exuma, and Badfinger? It's basically like someone sold all of my fave records. 

(I found a near mint copy of Exuma I at the GV DITV for $1.99 about 3-4 years ago. It kind of blew my mind how cheap it was.)

I know, right? Couldn't believe some of the stuff I was pulling. It's been such a long time since I've found good records that I actually like. GV DITV can have some great stuff that seems to slip through the cracks once in awhile. Found some pretty decent stuff for under $5 there in the past. You've gotta be quick though. The good stuff doesn't last long.

Yea nat, that is an awesome haul. I really want that MC5 rec at some point: RIGHT NOW ITS TIME TO KICK OUT THE JAMS MOTHER F***ers!

speaking of vinyl, any of you thrifty gentlemen have a home recipe for cleaning old records?

Found what I thought to be a pretty terrific item. Great mix of brand cachet, looks, modern appeal, baller details, etc. Checked eBay and one sold - just like it - for $50. The item probably retails for ~$1800.

Hint: it can be worn on your succulent body.

Any guesses as to what this item is?

lighter fluid, the type you use for Zippos

For some odd reason, I felt compelled to thrift a bunch of cowboy ****...



None of it is truly valuable. At least the hat is 4 X

Norman Hilton funded and produced early Ralph Lauren suits. Not sure for how long though.
