New guy, a humble collection, and an actual barn-find.

I also unearthed a copy of McPhee - a legendary Australian 70s psych record there. I gave it to a friend who had been searching for 20 years for a copy. The last one sold for over AU$1000. Plus i have amassed a nice vintage surfboard collection from there as well. (being coastal Australia and all).

It is an absolute goldmine.

Maybe I should go check out my local tip more often.

Mate, I have been 'That opshop guy' for over 30 years now and way over half of my biggest scores have come from tipshops. But you know, don't tell anyone.

I try my best to go to Op shops, but will definitely check out the tip shops around. I haven't had much luck at antique fairs, though I think I just need more frequency.
