has anyone checked this out?
every 3rd sunday (except july)
went today - many vendors and nice crowd - more low key than the d.c. record fairs.
breakfast and lunch served 9 - 3.
picked up: x - more fun in the new world
pink floyd - obscured by clouds
bowie - pin-ups
good grilled cheese sandwich
total damage - less than $35

haven't been for a few months, but I used to go all the time…. definitely a good source for vinyl at decent prices…… used to see a guy that works at the 930 club there a lot…..

I have been there in the past but not recently. It was wildly varied back then. Some vendors were very high priced while others had great stuff for $3. I have sold stuff to some of those vendors. Ya'll might have bought some of my old records…

managed to make it to Arbutus today, grabbed a couple of things….. and saw the same people I always used to see, including that same guy that works at the 930 (or IMP, because I've seen him at Merriweather too), it's like I never left…. :)

I went but didn't pick anything up. Had 3 must-haves in my head and actually found 2 but one was overpriced and the other was too roughed up. Maybe next time.

I went for the first time and picked up a few things. Seems that some vendors are way overpriced but their are a handful of reasonably priced vendors. Will probably go back again in the future.
