Record digging tips for Prince George

Digging in Prince George? A few habits pay off:

Inspect the seams at 2nd Thoughts Buy & Sell. Split seams and ring wear tell you how a record lived. Light wear is fine; trashed sleeves drag the value.
Visit on restock days. Shops process collections on rhythms. Ask when new used stock hits the floor and time your visits.
Learn to spot reissues. Reissues are cheaper and often sound great. Originals cost more for the history. Know which you're paying for.
The dollar bin is honest work. Nobody's getting rich off the dollar bin, but the joy-per-dollar ratio is unbeatable. Flip through all of it.
