ABOUT ME
AFTER I WATCHED THE BEATLES ON THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW AT THE AGE OF 10 , I BEGGED MY
PARENTS TO TAKE ME TO A STORE SO I COULD BUY MY FIRST RECORD. SO WITH MY ALLOWANCE , I BOUGHT
THE BEATLES 7" + P.S. "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND". AND THAT WAS THE BEGINNING FOR ME BECOMING A
"VINYLJUNKIE". I LOVE COLLECTING RECORDS AND I`M STILL COLLECTING THEM TODAY. AND NOW , I AM ALSO SELLING
RECORDS.
LIKE MOST PEOPLE , I HAVE A REGULAR DAY JOB. BUYING AND SELLING RECORDS IS FOR NOW , STILL JUST A HOBBY. WHEN I GET OFF WORK ALMOST ALL OF MY FREE TIME IS SPENT PLAYING MY
RECORDS AND LOOKING FOR MORE. THAT'S WHY I CALL MYSELF A "VINYLJUNKIE".
SOMETIME DURING THE MID 80'S I DECIDED TO BECOME A SELLER OF RECORDS ALSO. WHILE OUT SEARCHING
FOR MORE RECORDS TO FILL THE VOIDS IN MY COLLECTION , I WAS COMING ACROSS OTHER NICE RECORDS THAT
I ALREADY OWNED , AND SO THEN I STARTED TO BUY THEM ALSO. IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME BEFORE I FELT I HAD
ENOUGH RECORDS TO BECOME A "SELLER". SO THEN SOMETIME AROUND THE EARLY TO MID 90'S I STARTED SETTING UP AT RECORD
SHOWS AND DOING MAIL ORDERS. I LOVE GOING TO THE RECORDS SHOWS , BUT I FOUND OUT IT'S A LOT OF WORK
HAULING THE RECORDS TO AND FROM THE SHOWS. ALSO , I USED TO SEND OUT OVER 300 MAIL ORDER LISTS AND AFTER PAYING FOR PRINTING AND POSTAGE , IT GOT TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE. SO WITH
COMPUTERS APPEARING IN MOST HOUSEHOLDS NOWADAYS JUST LIKE TV'S , IT SEEMS THAT THE BEST WAY TO REACH OUT TO
LOTS OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD IS BY HAVING A WEB SITE. AND SO HERE YOU HAVE MY WEB SITE :
WWW.WAYKOOLRECORDS.COM
NOW , I LIKE THE RECORDS IN MY COLLECTION TO BE IN VERY NICE CONDITION. SO I DECIDED THAT I
WAS ONLY GOING TO SELL RECORDS THAT ARE IN SIMULAR CONDITION. SO , IF YOU`RE LOOKING FOR CHEAP
FLEA MARKET , GARAGE SALE JUNK TYPE RECORDS. YOU CAN SAVE YOURSELF SOME TIME AND SKIP MY WEB SITE AND GO WEB SURFING
SOMEWHERE ELSE. SORRY , BUT NO JUNK RECORDS ALLOWED HERE !
I'M STILL LOOKING TO ADD LOTS OF WAYKOOL RECORDS TO MY COLLECTION. I`M ALSO BUYING RECORDS FOR
RE-SALE AND DOING TRADES. IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE SOME RECORDS I MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN , PLEASE SEE THE :
BUY / TRADE INFO SECTION.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY WEB SITE , AND I HOPE YOU FIND SOMETHING THAT YOUR
LOOKING FOR. ALL MY RECORDS HAVE A 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE , ( EXCEPT SEALED LP`S ). IF YOUR UNHAPPY , I `M
UNHAPPY. AND IF YOU HAVE AND COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS , PLEASE SEND ME AN E-MAIL.
