A lot more than I expected...

So Emm and I decided to take a trip with some of my recently purged cds down to Rasputin, which is at the end of the cable car line on Powell Street. Like any used record store, what price they give you depends on how much they need the title. Unlike other used stores I've been to back east, Rasputin buys their cds from customers by way of scanning the title into the system, giving an already set price, which I think is rather cool. I think I only brought about 60 or so titles (and one copy of The Fifth Element that we had a double of), but I ended up getting $175 in store credit!! SWEET!

So of course we blew it all in one go.

Of course, we have to, if we get store credit--we have to spend the entire credit in one go, because they don't give out change, and they don't break it down little by little. Cool idea, though, and I was very impressed by how quick and efficient their system is.

So here's what we got:

Beck, The Information
Indigo Girls, Despite Our Differences
Jet, Shine On
The Killers, Sam's Town
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stadium Arcadium
TV on the Radio, Return to Cookie Mountain

as well as...
X-Men III: The Last Stand
V for Vendetta
and
Doctor Who: The Complete First Series box set. (Yeah, I'm surprised too, but we just recently watched an episode on Sci-Fi and we were greatly impressed. This is the first new season with Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor.)

...meaning that we spent the entire store credit AND spent an additional $50. But the fact that we got so much for so little makes me extremely happy... :)

Now if we could only do something about that jackass whose car alarm keeps going off every ten frikkin' minutes because someone breathed on it wrong...
