De-static-ing records.

Any good ways to do this without shelling out $100 or whatever for an anti-static gun?

Also, good record brushes that cost less than, like, $25?

i've never used an ati-static anything on a record. and record brushes really do all seem to be 20+ online. sometimes i luck out and someone brings me an old one. you can never have too many. i don't carry them in the store because of the price. lots of people want them but they don't want to pay 20 bucka. its kinda like how everyone wants a used turntable but they only want to pay like 10 bucks for one. i wish them luck. if you just wipe a record gently with a damp cloth the static won't be a problem.
