Record digging tips for Bendigo
How the regulars work Bendigo's bins:
- Ask the staff what's new at Bat City Music. Shop staff know what's just come in and what's about to. One question can save an hour of digging.
- Sleeves matter for value. Original inner sleeves, inserts, posters — completeness counts. A bare record in a generic sleeve is worth less.
- Learn your labels. Certain labels mean certain quality. A quick education in the labels of your favourite genres pays off fast.
- Learn the grading. Mint, near mint, very good — and check whether the grade is visual or play-graded. A visual VG+ can play like an EX.
