Leeds
He's there most Fridays and Saturdays.
I've had some bargains off him over the years.
A couple of months ago I got the latest Neil Young Archives cd set (Freedom,Ragged Glory,Weld and Arc)
Still sealed £15!!


I think this guy does Tod market on a Thursday as well.  Basically, a well known reviewer dumps all his stuff with the seller, and the seller clearly a) hasn't a clue or b) is a lovely generous guy...


Hmm. I suspect petrol costs (other forms of transport are available...) would wipe out any savings for me.

In the 1990s I used to pick up books at Spitalfields Market for dirt cheap prices, including a complete set of P.G. Wodehouse for a tenner.

Those books came from reviewers at a prominent newspaper. God knows what they reviewed because even the newest books were untouched. The stallholder paid them by weight.

Bargain of the century.  Amazon but not THAT much more elsewhere.  17 CDs, 1 DVD.  Some of the best bonkers music in the universe.  I thought it was a bargain at twice the price

Thanks for the tip-off.  It was still working that way on Friday.  Although after my first listen through, including 'Mother', I was wondering if I should really be thanking you!  How did that ever get through any quality control?!
