This is the only reasons I frequent thrift shops and garage sales (those aren't for charity but you can find some gems). Got a few original Hendrix and Floyd records that way 😄

wait, supporting what.cd doesn't count as supporting charity?

it's really illegal for me to claim tax exemptions on donations to a private tracker?

fuuuuuck meeeeee

in all seriousness, the only time i ever tried this, i bought a cassette of '40s and '50s red-baiting country music incl. the immortal "Ain't I Right," and it's all really really good.

Charity shops nearly always have CD racks full of boy bands that have gone out of fashion and easy listening drudge. However there are usually a few decent albums in amongst the rubbish. Occasionally someone with decent taste drops off a job lot, you can tell because in with a bunch of albums you like, but already own, there will be some you have never heard of, these are the ones to buy. They will only be a quid or two, and the chances are they'll be to your taste; if not just donate them back, you will have given to charity with the bonus of the possibility of finding your latest favourite thing.

This is how I found Keane way back when, actually, Hopes and Fears for a buck.

Oh hey I do this with the discount bin at a record store. Fantastic thing when you have a few extra dollars to blow

And this is how I found a variety of things I love but Paper Sons was probably my best find. Rasputin's 50 cent CDs coming in clutch
