I was actually in search of a new record so called a few days ahead of time to ask if they had it. They said no, but also sounded like they had no idea what I was asking for (even though it was listed on their website). But low and behold there was two copies on the rack. I was also able to find a great numbered edition of 10 Year Anniversary edition of a record that came out three years ago, which I was very stoked about. Selection is mostly new, with a variety of used mixed in. I am typically after new(ish) punk and they had a decent selection (albeit it was mixed in with hardcore and metal). I totally could have bought a bunch more records but constrained myself.

Luckily, my wife came up with CBug's Records in East Windsor. Our transaction went as smooth as glass. First, I sent an e-mail to see if CBug's was interested, and soon Chris mailed back, saying he was. We arranged a date and a time, and since his store is on the second floor of The Vintage Shops collective, I called him from the parking lot and he walked down to check out the goods in the trunk of our car, packed into three boxes. While he was doing that, I took the opportunity to check out his store, and I gotta tell ya, it's a music junkie's paradise. Everywhere you look are LP albums, 45 singles, cassettes, eight tracks, and a ton more of very cool music memorabilia. I had a brief discussion on price with Chris, and he made me a very fair offer that I was thrilled with. My experience at CBug's could not have been any better, and I gotta give a shout out to Chris for his courtesy, professionalism, timeliness, and fairness.
