Utrecht Record Fair: Sunday


The last day...had about 5 hours to go round the stands one last time. The atmosphere is more relaxed and subdued on the Sunday. Picked up the last bunch and headed home from where I am now writing this post...I'll need a few days to digest the records and the Frikadellen. Reviews of some of these soon...

Thank you for your interesting report.
I`ve never been to Utrecht, so I`m curious about the prices:
Is it possible to get real bargains, or is it very pricey ?
If you don`t mind, please tell me (us) about it.
Cheers,
Joey

As with any fair there is a wide range pf prices. There are plenty of 1 Euro singles, but you have to wade through 1000s of them to find 2-3 singles of interest. pricing for the rest differs wildly depending on the record itself you can find singles in the 100s of Euros price range and stuff reasonably prices around the 3-8 Euro mark

Like Anonymous, prices would have been nice to see. As a strictly internet buyer due to my South Asian location, I'm always curious what record fairs charge? I assumed it was about the same as online but you have a better chance of haggling it down a bit when face-to-face.
