skfong Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 24/Mar/2013 last day in KL. after breakfast only 11am so decided to visit Amcorp mall to smell the vinyls anyway the vinyls there are mostly not cleaned and caused me to sneeze quite a bit here is the way to the basement where the main trading hall of used goods are held... one of the garang-guni store. you can bring your unwanted CDs/LPs here and be prepared not to get offended of the offer price. however i believe the buy price is still better than cash-converter this uncle has many good stuffs mainly chinese titles for some titles i would say the price is fairly "fair" e.g Leslie's 88' Concert is selling RM380. I sold my copy for S$80 (exch 2.5 = RM200) found this few interesting picture disc by Madonna the store keeper wanted RM590 or S$235 avg about S$60 per piece. pretty fair price and they are original released i didnt buy. not enough cash with OBI, RM145 or S$58 i sold mine for S$43 (w/o OBI) fairly good price given with the OBI sorry for the poor quality pic. Beyond, single 新天地 loving it.. but RM350 (fixed) ... no thanks Victoria @ the ground floor (or 1st floor in our context) i used to buy cassette and LP from this store i believe only the Amcorp branch is selling LPs and they are all reissued (erg... excuse me) or new released like Adele, 童丽 etc.. /// there are few more stores on the 2nd and 3rd floor. found a copy of Anita Mui's album for RM90 (S$36). Very good price given the condition. I wanted to buy and can flip for a small profit but the seller's face very yaya-papaya so i gave it a missed spent almost 3 hours there and ended up bought some toys for my kids for those never been there and if you happen to be in KL on Sunday (only), no harm to drop by to experience the flea market and the atmosphere 8)
naglfar Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Very nice, bro SK. I was there a few months back with another bro from XP. In general, I would say vinyls there are not cheap - the sellers know how to price their items. I don't listen to Chinese stuff, so there maybe more things to look at if you're into that. Those Japanese vinyls - forget it. Even if you buy a ticket to Tokyo, you will easily break even on the ticket if you bring back 50 LPs, as compared to buying from KL....or even here. ;)
skfong Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 8) ya boy. i will let ppl like you to visit and judge that place. for me i knew it long ago. but i lucky enough to pick some good stuff @ real good price. only once. if someone got to drive 5 hours there, better dun take the chances... the shops have overhead to cover so no choice got to markup a bit.. so cant be blame for selling high la.
