United Abominations LP

I ordered it off Amazon, it should be pretty cool to own. The only other one i have is TWNAH and for some reason I can't find their early albums.

How much was it?

I see very little Megadeth vinyl around here. I did manage to get Killing is my business, Peace Sells... and the No More Mr. Nice guy single for about 5 bucks a piece but those are the only 3 I've ever seen.

Thats strange because in europe on any metal market you can find those 80s MEGADETH albums on vinyl easy and cheap.

I was at a flea market last weekend and there was a vendor selling a ton of vinyl. All genres, but I only looked through the metal. I'm not a collector and no longer have a working turntable, but I was curious to see what he had. I'm pretty sure I saw some older Megadeth in there, along with Priest, Killer Dwarfs, Def Leppard, etc.

He had alot of cd's too, but was charging $12-$15 for used cd's. Nothing particulary rare, but still too expensive for the flea market crowd. People want bargins.

hmm must be a regional thing. I see very little metal except a little bit of Priest, Scorpions and stuff from that era.

You gotta be kidding Metalguy, 12-15 for used cds? For that kind of price they should be extremely rare or at least brand new. There was a metal cd vendor at the flea market here and they had a hell of a hard time selling cds for $5 each and they really had some decent stuff. They ended up selling all their cds to one guy for an average of $3.50 each just so they didn't have to set up anymore.

My guess is cassttee tapes were more dominate in the US by the 80s, i'm able to find 70s early 80s albums easy, but late 80s on vinyl is very hard to find for me.

Thats what I thought. For example, I was looking at some Accept cd's. I forget which ones in particular, but they were all priced at $11.99 each. And they were obviously used (no shrink-wrapping, worn cases). I think I heard the guy say that he had just closed up his shop, so he was selling off stuff. Maybe that was his 1st time there, I dunno. Next time I go, with any luck, he'll be reducing prices.

Could those prices have been wrong? Maybe just left over price tags?

Unless it is something pretty rare my top price for used cds at a flea market is about $5, of course there are somethings I am willing to pay more for here and there.

Nope. There was a $5 bin with a bunch of crap cd's, then a posted sign "All cd's $5 & Up. Priced as marked". I'm used to scavaging the racks for $2 or $3. Over $10 bucks for a used cd? Forget it!

There was other vendors there as well. I picked up Frank Zappa's double-cd Shut Up'n Play Yer Guitar for $7. I coulda got Joe's Garage as well (both together for $12), but stupid me passed.

Well maybe that vendors prices will change when he doesn't sell anything.

Those are 2 good Zappa albums, i've learned not to pass on odd stuff if the price is fair enough because its not the kind of stuff you come across to much used.
