Topic: Where can I buy 78s?

	Tane1976 Purplevinyl Member since Feb 2017 39 Points	I get all of mine from Charity shops and are blown away at how cheap they are. Here in New Zealand we have 3 main eras 1. Hayes Middlesex to 1926 2. Australia 1926 - 1947 3. New Zealand 1948 - 1957 We switched to 45s around Aug/Sep 1957 (I have an Everly Brothers, wake up little suzie and Diana by Paul Anka from this era). The charity shops will usually mix up the 78s with all the other records and often broken and damaged discs are in amongst the goodies. Taking a bit of time, I often get lucky - I will buy anything that looks really old (Like pre 1925) and with royalty stamps (Being a philatelist - these fascinate me). Most charge little - $1 or $2 a record. Fleabay and Trade me are full of them, but some are ripoff merchants. Just today, got 11 of them for $11 and one turned out to be from 1909!
