It’s the end of an era. For more than 40 years I’ve purchased, sold and traded hundred of thousands of vinyl records to customers in Michigan, Ohio, Florida, Illinois and Ontario.

My record booth at the Antique Center in Midland is now closed.

For the past 15 years I’ve had a retail booth in Midland and Mt. Pleasant and I’ve become good friends with some wonderful people and met many great customers.

Thank you for all the great memories.

Good afternoon. It’s halfway through my final month of selling records … Wednesday December 15, 2021.

While cleaning out my storage space I found a dozen more LPs
that I just took into my booth this afternoon. And of course 25% off.

Also I found 2 boxes of LP sleeves in very good condition ~ without the vinyl … or a 2 LP set with one disc missing.
Also I found a box of posters, photos and inserts that were included in the original purchases, but the customer didn’t want them.
There are items from Beatles, KISS, America, Grand Funk, ELO, Jethro Tull, Prince, Elton John, Madonna, Rolling Stones, Rush, Who … and many more. Here’s your opportunity to complete your collection if you are missing some of the inserts.

So here is what I’d like to do. I have priced each item $1 and simply ask you place $1 for each in the donation box next to these cases. I will take all the money and donate it to the Salvation Army.

As the poster states, I have decided to retire from operating my retail record booth at the Antique Center. I plan to close at the end of this month … December 31, 2021.
Therefore there are 1,000s of LPs for sale. Many originally priced from $4 to $10… now just $1. All LPs with rainbow price tags originally priced from $7 to $30 … now 25% off.
And if I find more LPs this month, I’ll bring them into my booth.
If you are interested I will sell the 4 display racks for $10 each, at the end of the month.
Hope you find some LPs on your want list.

And thank you to all my customers. I’ve had a great time and I’ve met many new friends.

And a big thank you to Lynette and Paul, my landlords and friends at the Antique Center for the past 7+ years.

There is a chance of snowflakes tonight so you might want to stock up on vinyl records today ~ winter is coming.

Mid August and another warm summer day.
Here are some of the “new arrivals” I’m taking to my record booth today at the Antique Center, 3411 Isabella Road (M 20) just 3 miles west of downtown Midland, on the way to Mt. Pleasant and the Casino.
In addition to the regular LPs, I’m also taking in more radio station programs from the late 1980s featuring songs and interviews with artists from the British Invasion of the mid to late 60s.

Plus I’m taking in about 300 “new arrival” 45 rpm records from the 1970s and 1980s … almost all are in mint condition.
If you or a friend collect 45 singles, here’s your chance to pick up some super tunes.
And starting today … all 45 rpm records (including discs with picture sleeves) are on sale for ONLY 25 CENTS EACH.
