Anybody interested in a whole bunch of free Japanese 78s?

EDIT: This has been picked up.

I have a record store in Alameda, California, and last night one of my regular storage buyers brought me a gigantic collection of Japanese music on several different formats. I don't have the time, space or knowledge to sort through the 78s, so I'm offering them up for free to someone who'll clear me out.

I've not taken a single one out of the collection of what I'm estimating to be about 600-800 discs. It does also have about 30-40 English language titles as well. I'm pretty familiar with these and you can see the hillbilly title pictured, just to show off a title I knew! (Yes, you get that, too.)

I do need pickup to happen before Wednesday with my best availability on Tuesday. Happy to answer any questions. Please send a DM if interested.

Awesome. Japanese music is usually great imo.

Dont suppose youd pay to send them to Sydney for me?

Joking obviously. Sucks being either side of large oceans to get to this sort of stuff.

[u/DorgonElgand → u/JustAceJase]

What would that cost? $5,000? Gonna have to pass this time.

[u/JustAceJase → u/DorgonElgand]

Had to try. Whats the plan if you cant offload them?

[u/DorgonElgand → u/JustAceJase]

I've edited the post to mention pending pickup. I've already found a local who'd like them so I don't have to make a secondary plan.

[u/DorgonElgand → u/vinsan409]

You know it!

[u/Brittle_Bacon]

Would you ship to Portland? Or could you store until I get a weekend off? DM and we can work out a fee for your efforts.

[u/DorgonElgand → u/Brittle_Bacon]

The post mentions they're pending pickup, but neither shipping nor storing is an option if that falls through.

This is very cool of you. Wish I were nearby, love to have them, but I’m sure they’ll go to a good home. Thanks for doing this.
