Strictly speaking this doesn't count, but I got a fully boxed copy of Championship Manager 4 for £4 today.

But record wise, Murry The Hump's only album for £5 made me quite happy.

Onobox for $10 in Nashville in January is my find of the year so far, that and Championship Manager 4 on Kazaa Lite...

If you really mean "2nd hand racks" and not the dollar bin, it's more like what can't you find.

I've already told you all about my accidently passing up a 4-CD B. Marley box set back in the days of longboxes.
I'm still mad at myself over that.
