I get my records at...
I tend to prefer the cut-out bins (you know, the records with little
notches in the cover) for most of my record purchases.  When you know
what you're looking for, you can pick up some real gems.
It's also a cheap way to experiment.  Back in
Champaign at the U. of Ill. we had a couple of record stores with
tremendous cut-out selections.  Last time I went back, one of them
had an entire room upstairs just filled with them.  Boy, do I miss
having all those records to peruse (I love liner notes).  Out here in
Jersey, one of the better places to find cut-outs and used albums is
at the flea markets.  The one in Englishtown is particularly good.

I try to avoid used albums, unless I want to experiment with stuff I
can't find in the cut-outs.  Sometimes, though, I've had to settle
for a used album when I can't find a new copy.  I paid $10 for a used
copy of an album I spent several years looking for (the first "Ship" album).
