Already sold.

That didn't take long-- Hope it was a forum member who got it!

I lived in the NE Ohio area from 1968-91. This stuff was EVERYWHERE along with records out the arse. There were lots of foreign records too, due to all the European immigrants in the area. It wasn't as good towards the end of my time there but there was still a lot around.

Antique stores wouldn't hardly even touch this stuff. You found it at thrifts and second hand stores, and flea markets- and the dump. I remember paying $10 for 1000 Diamond Discs in the early 1970s- the proprietor just wanted them gone. I kept what I liked and pitched the rest. Sacrilege now, but back then? These things were still very common.

The Facebook posting is gone. What was the asking price?

Thanks, Jerry B.

I can't recall exactly, Jerry, but it was well south of $100, I believe.

I seem to recall a whopping $30.

Yep- It was listed for $30 when I saw it. It was still an active listing, but sold within about 4 hours of being posted-- And it looked to be in very nice condition-- I hope a forum member was able to pick it up-

Thanks for the price replies.
