PRICES
Word on the street is that some stores are gouging and putting super high prices on the harder to get stuff. We are not. When pricing, I treated each item as if it were a regular new release and did the standard markup. The lowest priced RSD item we have is $4.99 (Sharon Jones / Budos Band 7") and to my knowledge we're the only store in the country with this item. The highest is 56.99 (Mastodon Blood Mountain 2LP 45RPM). All but one item is under $30 if memory serves me right and most single LPs are $16 - $20. Some 12" records are around $13. Picture discs are $15 or so. All but one of the 7" records (Stars of Goldwax) are under $10 with a few under $7.

PRIZES
For every $20 you spend, you get 1 ticket for our raffle. On Sunday I'll do a draw for the winners of these prizes:
