MTsoul Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hey all, I'm heading down to the Bowral/Mittagong/Moss Vale area for the long weekend and was wondering if anyone knew of any good places to look for vinyl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demondes Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Wow not being an expert on that area, but would say very low chance of finding anything you could try Vinnies, Red Cross and any other similar. But looking at google maps they still say temporarily closed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcon Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 5 years ago there was a little shop full of vinyl in kangaroo valley, near the public car park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcon Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Its called the Nostalgia Factory - perhaps not as full of vinyl as I imagined it was. Its probably just a couple of boxes they've picked up from estate sales. There might have been another little shop behind it. Wife hates me browsing records so I didnt have time to linger and check it out properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcon Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Prices probably way to exxy , hoping to get day tripper suckers not wanting to go home empty handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looking at google maps they still say temporarily closed I will never forget the time I took my less favourite records to Vinnies. The old bag who took the boxes from me at the counter started sifting through them and pulled out a Gladys Knight record and put it aside - presumably for herself. I was telling a mate about it and he said yeah the only reason his mates wife volunteered was so she could take first pickings and sell the valuable stuff on ebay. I suppose if you volunteer to help in St Vinnies you might feel entitled to some of the spoils , but donors have an expectation that ALL the stuff goes to charity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTsoul Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 Found some great records at a stall in Dirty Jane's in Bowral. Lovely couple that run it said there isn't really anywhere else in the highlands. Paid $85 for a Black Sabbath - Paranoid in VG+/VG+ and I'm calling that a win.

MTsoul Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Also The Record Store and Mittagong Antiques had a few bins with a reasonable range of rock and classical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
