Apparently when his store was in operation his prices and availability to the general public was ludicrous. I have friends who tried to buy fairly common albums and were quoted $30 and $40 dollars for albums that would typically be 5-10. Some of the other dealers in the Pittsburgh area, Jerry Weber included (Jerry's records), detest the guy and his business practices. If you do a little searching on the net it doesn't take long to find some stories of bad experiences with Recordrama. |

Two other cool videos are the Pack Rats show featuring Mawhinney and Jerry's collection. http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=G4S9tV8ZLcE&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHTnj50NVJg The Jerry's link has 3 parts to the video. Both of these are really cool ways to waste time. |
