Record digging tips for Kaohsiung

Digging in Kaohsiung? A few habits pay off:

• Bring cash for the small shops at V-MIX. Some independents prefer it, and a cash offer on a stack can occasionally move the price.
• Ask about the return policy at 樂虹二手唱片. Most used vinyl is sold as-is. Know the policy before the stylus hits a skip at home.
• Check the turntable section. Many record shops sell used decks and cartridges. A serviced vintage turntable beats a cheap new one.
• Genre-hop. The best finds are in the sections you don't know. Jazz collectors find gold in the classical bins and vice versa.
