Awesome stories. I’d love to see a room tour. I had a similar experience. A very close friend asked me one day if I wanted some records about 3-4 thousand. The contents of a local college radio station. When I arrived there with a car load of boxes it turned out to be closer to 35,000-40,000 records. He just laughed at me. Figured I’d say no if he told me the truth. My wife was not pleased. The station was there since the sixties and the records were discontinued in the late 90s when they converted to CDs. Loads of promos and test pressings many unplayed. I can’t remember how many trips I made in my Ford Taurus transporting them all to his house and mine. I actually broke the suspension in the car doing this. I’m still selling these on eBay and found some real gems. I never throw records away, they make great tax deductions by donating them to goodwill. . A lot of music I got to listen to that otherwise I’d never have heard. He passed away shortly after that and I still miss him. I smile when I see that mountain of records and think of the fun we had getting them.
Went to Berkeley California one day and that store put cases of rejects on the sidewalk. It was kind of nervous for me because I did not want to go to jail for "stealing" scratched records. But they did it weekly I guess. My friend says at least he can play the songs that are not scratched
Academy Records in NYC used to take their unsellable records, package them up in brown paper so you couldn't see what was in the package, and offer the packages for free. Each customer could take one package, but you had to promise not to open it up until you got home. The records were not trash, just titles that would never sell at any price.
Wow, sounds like a nightmare. I'm thinking of opening a store of my own soon and I'm trying to build up an inventory. I ran into a guy recently that says he has a collection of 10,000+ records he wants to unload. Problem is, he lives 600 miles away from me. These pitfalls are things I'll keep in mind. Cheers!
I have over 350 records myself! From the Temptations, to Herb Albert, Stevie Wonder to the Jacksons, Tony Bennett to Andy Williams, Grover Washington, JR to Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye to the Marvelettes, Jennifer Warnes to Dionne Warwick, Cameo to Switch, the list resumes! I've bought them at Goodwill, and a record store in Long Beach, CA called Fingerprints! Went there in January last year, and haven't went ever since! They all, are sitting at my better half's house. I've listened to vinyl ever since a youngster. My first 45 vinyls were Michael Jackson "Beat It", and Deniece Williams "Let's Hear It For The Boy"...One of the best birthday gifts I received on my 6th birthday was a WKRP phonograph my mom got me! If I still had it, I'd feel very sentimental! My first vinyls I bought at my nearest Goodwill 10 years ago next month, were Randy Crawford "Abstract Emotions", Grover Washington Jr "Baddest", and Tom Scott "Intimate Strangers". Haven't played them in over a month, and haven't been to my soul mate's house since last month because of the excruciating social distancing.
I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel. I live in Concord so I will definitely be on the lookout for your pop-ups. Oh, and that story was crazy but glad it all worked out.
"Only pay for what you see", sounds obvious but when you're dealing in volumes it must be very easy to forget. Thanks for sharing Dillon, gotta be sharp when dealing in records! Cheers- Dean
Yeah you're totally right, I picked up a 25 cent soul record at a estate sale, and sold it to a English guy for a $1000, the market is bad ,I probably could have got $2000🤣🤣👌
I won a Peaches record crate answering a trivia question on a radio station in South Carolina when I was about 14. Wish I still had it, but was cool to see the one on the end of the uhaul truck.
I appreciated this story and video. The information was very valuable even though I'm not a record dealer I have been trying to buy a large collection but haven't made much headway yet. The tips you gave may have saved me from a big mistake. Keep up the great videos. P.S. I loved the "soundtrack" to this video too.
You make even a downer story engaging and kinda fun. I love your videos to the point where I want to drive from home in upstate NY just to go through your shop. So much that I'm starting to remember to hit the 'like' button hahaaa. Don't be surprised if you see an order from me just because its people like you I want to support.
You should re-brand these videos as ‘guide to creating record sales business’ seriously its fascinating from a novice/record collectors point of view. Absolutely superb , thank you for sharing! David , fan from 🏴
@@noblerecords will you be cataloging them so we can see what you have? I know that's almost an impossible task, I have about 5000 CD's myself and there in no order at all
I like your style man. Not everyone is cut out to be a business owner but everyone wants to be. Sounds like his records are better off with you. Best of luck in your business!
Thanks for doing this story video, man! Was just thinking about getting into this new venture of owning a record store here in my country...(and after watching this, I'd think twice LOL) God bless you and good luck!
Fascinating story Sounds like an experience you'll definitely look at in future and scratch your head That is a LOT of vinyl Cool story and interesting collection of record store day stuff
Love your videos, I just fell into a collection of some 400 vinyls, all M, NM from early 60s to mid, late 80s. I have 15 of your 20 most asked for, looking to sell, but I live near Kent, Ohio, but I'm old school and tech ignorant or challenged. So I'm looking for some advice.
Wow! I would have walked away from the first guy. I would have told him "A third of the volume a third of the price! That's fair...you misrepresented how much you have." I also would have shown him the money and said "Half now and the other half when it's loaded." That may work, feel free to use it. When it comes to garbage vinyl I have two questions. First could you sell not playable records for decour either in volume (like 50 count or 100 count) or weight? Also since vinyl is reground and reused in facotories, could you sell crap records and recycle the vinyl? I'm curious from a reduce/reuse aspect of less waste and also more money for you.
Your stories are always entertaining. thank You. You're quite the record slinger. I live vicariously thru your videos. Are your lots bought generally, at pennies on the dollar?
Thank You again for the reply. I wish you the Best in your hunts & finds but I think you got everything by now. Im wondering as a DJ if you gots any 12" Dance music singles you want to sell by the box figuring you're not the type to sell 'em by onesees twozees Please do let me know. Kind.
Glad I watched this. I am a small dealer, selling out of an antiques mall. Without a store of my own, it is hard to find collections or lots to buy, so I did some advertising in an antiques publication. I tended to get 2 kinds of responses. 1) Someone who had "a lot" of records, like a whole box full :) and couldn't name anything. 2) Someone who had thousands, but also gave no names. Before travelling far to look at collections, I try to get the guy to talk about his collection. If he starts telling about the Coltrane and Miles Davis albums, and all his Beatles and Stones, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, that is good. Still better if he would mention, Zappa, Beefheart, some punk, Velvet Underground. Then I know he is a serious collector who probably has good stuff in good condition. I really had no success with the ads, and I could tell you strange stories, stuff that didn't even seem to make sense. A thing to keep in mind is, there should be plenty of record stores scattered around the upper Midwest here, but if someone is calling from out of state trying to move thousands of records, it is probably because he had no success within a 200 mile or so radius. So proceed with caution.
That's an insane amount of records. My tastes are very picky. Mostly into 60's 70's underground psych, pop psych, hard rock, blues. And heavy metal and blues.
I figured something like this would be a next step for you! Congrats. I see Dr. John behind you I'm interested in :) but thanks for sharing your experience. I mapped out how I would run a business with vinyl but it wouldn't scale to much profit. It would only be for the love and I'm worried a business would ruin the fun of the hobby. I liked how you handled the guy at different points along the way. I think you did the best you could as the situation progressed. I'd like to fund one of those original peaches record crates too. I use actul peaches crates now. I'll shop your discogs store if you have one or feature you on records stores across America of you open a store.
Horror story but you live and learn.Nice back to the future picture disk I spotted in there. I thought I had problems with my modest collection my heart and back goes to ya lol
I had over 8,000 in my personal collection. Sold most of them through Ebay and Discogs (i still buy and sell) but I've kept an essential collection of 1500 or so that I just can't let go! I collected those 8000 records from 1970 to 2012 . Yeah when I bought a house , moving those records was done by me and three friends over a period of 3 days. It was hell. LOL
Such are the problems of being a record collector! With the store you will always need more records and have a place to store extras. A useful lesson learned. Wait and see!
When I worked at a used book store the owner, and two more of us drove from Tennessee to Chicago to look at a store that was selling everything. All the good stuff had already been removed by someone else. 500 miles and we stayed around 20 minutes, then drove 500 miles back. What a horrible day that was. People will sure B.S. you.
Hey brother. Hope you and yours are doing well. I was wondering if you have any “Alexisonfire” or “Thursday” records floating around your shop. If so or if you ever, let me know. Obviously I know I can go on discogs. But people are asking wayyyy to much. Be well brother. Love your videos.
Wow what a haul! In my last video but one I showed a large haul that I got cheaply but it would amount to a tiny fraction of what you got there. I'd be sleeping on the couch for eternity if I ever came home with many records. Ha. Interesting story! Cheers
Now that the dust has settled so to speak did you come out ahead with this particular deal ? That was a drag that he turned out to be less than honest. Were the used records in decent shape ?
Are you a Collector or a Listener... You can't be both once you get up to cetain album tally. I went through this a few years back and had to say enough is enough...
What an experience, but I've noticed a lot of cons in the vinyl community as you've talked about. There's one guy here trying to sell his stuff, and wants to sell it in bulk, but doesn't want to show anyone what it is, which is insane. :) Lifting tons of vinyl is work, you have to be real careful as you well know. I probably would not have gone down there if the guy could not have at least sent me a couple of photos, but you came out pretty well, all considering.
LOL :"). Wow it sure dose sound like he is in to it all . You know I do think he would like my channel !!! Do you got with him to find thing ?. Take care !!!!
Jan 1, 1972 the government made the selling of bootlegs illegal. I ditched school one day and hit one record store who sold them and WOW they’re selling them all for $1 each. I bought one copy of everyone they had. Boy were they garbage to listen to. “Jeff Beck Group Live” sounded like the dude used a $19 portable cassette recorder and was in the top row of a 20,000 seat venue. Only a couple were in-line recordings. They’re purty to look at and fun to find but boots overall are crap.
No No No! Never throw out vinyl... there are no worthless records to me... Its the bread and butter of my channel! You ever get to where you are going to pitch ANYTHING... Let me know! I will pay for the shipping and maybe grease your palms a little for the trouble! #AllVinylLivesMatter
@@noblerecords Once you get a bunch together... Let me know how many and how much... maybe a few at a time... or a lot. Tell me the damage and we will work it out. goofysteven1976@gmail.com If you ever watched my channel... you will know how serious I am about "garbage" records...
careful when doing this kind of "buy"........"Appraised" more that a few "hoards" of "goodwill dumpster dives" in my experience....Had one guy that actually built pallet racking floor to ceiling in a two car garage...never seen that may Barbara Streisand and Bert Kaempfert records in one setting......
I have often wondered something watching your vids. You said this guy got into trouble because he kept all the good stuff. You always talk about going through collections you buy and keep the really good stuff for your collection. Why doesn't that get you in financial trouble. It seems like the really good stuff never reaches the "Joe public" small collector. It just goes from one big collector to another. What little does get out is top dollar at the record store or online. Just curious.
No, that’s not really at all what I do. I’m a collector but I probably keep 1 in 5,000 records that come in the shop. At this point, I don’t keep anything unless it’s insanely rare, which I have the right to do because I’ve worked my butt off the make this business what it is. So 99.95% of what we get in collections to straight out to the shop. The video this comment is on is a very old video. My collection has grown drastically since then so there’s very little that I still need. On the flip side, most of the things I add to my collection don’t come from the shop, it’s trading with other collectors. Does that make sense?
Stuart you sound needlessly negative. What if someone went on your page and fired shots at you for the cover songs you post? No need to be negative, skip the video if you don’t like it.
@@noblerecords Oh dude I totally didn't mean too!! SO sorry. It just sounded like an ordeal for you and I just feel like it must have been a tough day. I'm glad you share all kinds of stories and I did give it a like. Apologies.
Stuart HA! So I read it wrong. Sorry about that. Yeah I get a lot of negative feedback on videos like these. I see what you were saying. Sorry about that. Yeah it sucked man. It was a rough day. In the end it was worth it. Thanks for watching, sorry again 😬
Stuart no sir, it was all my bad. I read it wrong, thanks for the kind words. I get a lot of comments that are very rude. So, maybe I assumed it was. Lots of people tell me to kill myself and stuff 🤣🤷♂️ You did nothing wrong. Thanks again.
my store went out of business after 60 years. Owner let drug addicts run the place and one day they were desperate for a fix I guess and sold me 5,000 45s for 150 dollars. Then they went out of business. Which never would of happened if they would of hired me.
Man, Dillon. Almost sounds like a drug deal gone bad. :) Say, you make it out to central FL any time? Would be cool to check through the stacks and meet ya. -Brad

Just today I got some classical records for free at the Academy Records in NYC .... )))
Can you give a ballpark of what you paid? That would help a whole lot for others trying to accumulate that amount of volume .
Love the bkg music. I collected Floyd boots when I was in high school. Love those early '72 shows! Great video too!
Some good advice and insight into the not so glamorous aspect of records.

Jan 1, 1972 the government made the selling of bootlegs illegal. I ditched school one day and hit one record store who sold them and WOW they’re selling them all for $1 each. I bought one copy of everyone they had. Boy were they garbage to listen to. “Jeff Beck Group Live” sounded like the dude used a $19 portable cassette recorder and was in the top row of a 20,000 seat venue. Only a couple were in-line recordings.
They’re purty to look at and fun to find but boots overall are crap.
Dillon, good practical advice, especially the "if you are in a hurry, slow down". - Chris
wow ;))
On this video you show the wears and tears in your trade and of most self business owners.
Dude that is a lot of work and head ache.
No No No! Never throw out vinyl... there are no worthless records to me... Its the bread and butter of my channel!
You ever get to where you are going to pitch ANYTHING... Let me know! I will pay for the shipping and maybe grease your palms a little for the trouble!

@@noblerecords Once you get a bunch together... Let me know how many and how much... maybe a few at a time... or a lot. Tell me the damage and we will work it out. goofysteven1976@gmail.com If you ever watched my channel... you will know how serious I am about "garbage" records...
Selling them to an artist is always a good way to go.
Stellar job by you. Dudes a bum. You made out best in the deal. Rock on
Thanks man!

careful when doing this kind of "buy"........"Appraised" more that a few "hoards" of "goodwill dumpster dives" in my experience....Had one guy that actually built pallet racking floor to ceiling in a two car garage...never seen that may Barbara Streisand and Bert Kaempfert records in one setting......
I have often wondered something watching your vids. You said this guy got into trouble because he kept all the good stuff. You always talk about going through collections you buy and keep the really good stuff for your collection. Why doesn't that get you in financial trouble. It seems like the really good stuff never reaches the "Joe public" small collector. It just goes from one big collector to another. What little does get out is top dollar at the record store or online. Just curious.
No, that’s not really at all what I do. I’m a collector but I probably keep 1 in 5,000 records that come in the shop. At this point, I don’t keep anything unless it’s insanely rare, which I have the right to do because I’ve worked my butt off the make this business what it is. So 99.95% of what we get in collections to straight out to the shop. The video this comment is on is a very old video. My collection has grown drastically since then so there’s very little that I still need.
On the flip side, most of the things I add to my collection don’t come from the shop, it’s trading with other collectors. Does that make sense?
O3❤😊🎉
your competing against the background music
God, you sound exhausted just recounting the story.
Stuart you sound needlessly negative. What if someone went on your page and fired shots at you for the cover songs you post? No need to be negative, skip the video if you don’t like it.
@@noblerecords Oh dude I totally didn't mean too!! SO sorry. It just sounded like an ordeal for you and I just feel like it must have been a tough day. I'm glad you share all kinds of stories and I did give it a like. Apologies.
Stuart HA! So I read it wrong. Sorry about that. Yeah I get a lot of negative feedback on videos like these. I see what you were saying. Sorry about that. Yeah it sucked man. It was a rough day. In the end it was worth it. Thanks for watching, sorry again 😬
@@noblerecords No worries man! My poor attempt at sympathy no doubt! Keep up the great work!
Stuart no sir, it was all my bad. I read it wrong, thanks for the kind words.
I get a lot of comments that are very rude. So, maybe I assumed it was. Lots of people tell me to kill myself and stuff 🤣🤷♂️
You did nothing wrong. Thanks again.
my store went out of business after 60 years. Owner let drug addicts run the place and one day they were desperate for a fix I guess and sold me 5,000 45s for 150 dollars. Then they went out of business. Which never would of happened if they would of hired me.
sad story
Man, Dillon. Almost sounds like a drug deal gone bad. :) Say, you make it out to central FL any time? Would be cool to check through the stacks and meet ya. -Brad
Yeah, 8+ hours is a bit long (as I looked up the road trip). :)
