Reverend Robert Ballinger - Walk On By Faith /Streets Of The City

Braved the rain for the flea market and ended up with 135 45's. Two other guys were digging and one guy had a pile and then started looking them up before purchasing to see what they were worth to resale. That irriates me to no end....part of the fun is taking a chance. Too many people are looking to flip it quickly and make bucks and careless about the music. I remember one store I used to go the seller sold all 45's regardless of what it was for $1. He never looked anything up but did pull things he knew was worth more. I remember him telling me one time a guy brought in a price guide to look them up before buying. He told the buyer, "look, they are a dollar. If you want to look them up that is fine but then I am selling them to you based on what your book says"...I loved it! Yes, I guess I am getting grumpy in my old age. I passed on a ton of Peacock gospel 45s yesterday as quite frankly I think I already had them and I have enough duplicates already, however, I would have picked this one up if there was copy its that good
