Everytime I travel to a new town I always look for record stores to hit up since I'm a huge vinyl fanatic. Upon arriving at Skinnie's I was super excited because walking into the store I knew they primarily catered to the heavy metal/punk crowd. The store had quite a bit of viny which I immediately started looking through. I couldn't believe the prices that this guy was asking for his records. He was selling records for 2 to 3 times what they would go for on Ebay, which is generally a bidding war and overpriced marketplace. A good example would be the copy of Slayer-Seasons in the Abyss that was not sealed and not even in mint condition. Ole Skinnie was trying to sell this record for $80!!! Unreal, this record goes for half that on Ebay, if not less. This was just the beginning of Skinnie's high priced record charade. Nothing like trying to get $18 for a used copy of AC/DC-Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap that belongs in a thrift store 99 cent bin. Don't go to this place unless you like paying high prices to someone who doesnt seem overly friendly to begin with.
