Record digging tips for Powell River
How the regulars work Powell River's bins:
- Genre-hop at Bop City Records. The best finds are in the sections you don't know. Jazz collectors find gold in the classical bins and vice versa.
- Bring cash for the small shops. Some independents prefer it, and a cash offer on a stack can occasionally move the price.
- Don't overlook cassettes and CDs. The tape and CD sections are chronically underpriced. The format revival hasn't hit them the same way.
- Inspect the seams. Split seams and ring wear tell you how a record lived. Light wear is fine; trashed sleeves drag the value.
