well been married to a record collector for over 30 years, and I cant begin to tell you how many places I have trawled through, how many hours spent, time , money, its almost an obsession, but we all have to remember, that its OK saying my box is worth such and such amount of money, but really, will anybody ever get back their investment, ,we have sold a couple of collections in past years, to help pay the mortgage, but it was a hard slog, so I personally tend to go for stuff a big collector would not bother with, like the underplayed stuff, and I keep on saying it over and over again, there is a lot of it out there, if you look, some great tunes to be had, and cheap, at the other end of the spectrum, woody tends to go for the bigger stuff, but will not pay to big bucks,because we cant afford to, and does spend alot of time trawling the internet, and his contacts, and does find big tunes, but at a cheaper cost, anybody can have a big collection if they have the money, but I think it takes a bit more than that, it takes, a certain amount of good knowledge , integrity, and sheer hard work, to build up a really good, bang on set of tunes, and not always the current biggies, you always need to think ahead, what gonna be a great tune, next month, next year, and that takes skill,but at the same time, yes as guilty as anyone, for skinting ourselves out, to buy something fantastic, like I said, it becomes an obsession.are we all mad or what?
