    ......I'm a big vinyl addict, I collect/buy/sell/trade whatever so always have my eyes peeled for stuff I want or just rare stuff cheap. The other week I spotted a bloke with 3 lovely vintage 60s record boxes, asked what he wanted and he said "fiver", never gonna haggle him at that. Went to pick them up and realised they were full of vinyl which he said was in with the deal, second later he grabbed another from his trailer and said I could have that aswel. Got home checked the contents and there was a factory mint Johan Strauss lp worth £130 in there aswell as a load of £10 stuff......
    I better not pass info this onto my son, he'd be soooo....jealous!
