On the square in Marietta, GA there is an antique shop that has a record store in the back. They have decent turnover in the used section, but the prices and pricing system is pretty hilarious. They present bootlegs and often reissues as originals. The other day I saw a boot of Kill From the Heart for $60. They had some teenager price the singles and they want $10-$20 for thrift store detritus. There was one sticker on a 7" that priced the record at $20 and read "Other records on this label go for $25-$30." The label was something like Reprise.
The amazing thing is that, because the square is a weekend destination for suburban families, people will go in and buy a beatles record for $40 and then post on facebook "Look at what I bought! I can't wait to get a record player so i can hear it." That also explains why every time I go in there the woman who owns it tries to explain to me that these are records and they sound so much better than cds.
Is that place called Sweet Melissa's? If so, I'm glad I never made the trek out to Marietta to check it out. There's another relatively new store in Roswell called Mojo Vinyl, but I think it's more of the same.
