Yabby You "Jesus Dread" 2 cd on BAF... One of the GREATEST sets ever, in my book! And worth 10X the price as well...

They're not even good. You know what? I'll send you €10 for shipping and I can take care of them for you so you don't have to dirty up you collection with them.

... OK, it was a fantastic deal.

I think the best VALUE of reggae I ever bought was Confirmation by Ras Midas for $1.79 on amazon.com. The whole album is worth just as much as one costing several times more.

Jah Bless!!!

I'm not sure of these albums' actual values, but going on EBreggae.com prices for used copies, I think I got a couple of bargains last week:


[cover=911,1053]
Original pressing, nice condition... £7 (EBreggae: $99)


[cover=196,212]
Mango '77 pressing, again nice condition... £4 (EBreggae: $79)


Not bad, eh!

FOR STAAS

I think it was Arcade records... Hard to remember the name...Close from the greyhound station...
The man there told me that he just bought all the shop and the stock... it was a really mess...
'cause in my sleeve there's a sticker "Arcade Records" 19.95 $... but he did not check the price ;-)...
It on the main street of medicin hat...
I dont know if you'll find some killer but... we never know...

There is a lot of bargain finder in this town... but it's a Music Store not a "bargain finder"...

Are you from calgary?
