KISS Army
Day one (telephone):
Guy: You buy records right?
Me: We do if we think we can resell them.
Guy: I have a bunch I'd like to sell.
Me: What kind of titles are we talking about?
Guy: I'm not sure.
Me: You don't know what you have for sale?
Guy: Well they're in a bag. I think there's a Heart album in there.
Me: Hmm, well we might take that if it's in good shape. Basically we're looking for classic rock, punk, metal, folk etc. We don't take classical, country, easy listening or compilations like K-Tel, Time/Life etc.
Guy: So classic stuff like Zeppelin, Floyd and KISS, right?
Me: Yeah those are titles we can sell provided they are in good shape.
Guy: Well I have a lot of KISS albums, but I'm not looking to sell those...
Me: That's too bad, we can always sell KISS.
Guy: Yeah there's a bunch of others in the bag, but I'm not going to sell my KISS. Are you going to be in tomorrow?
Me: Yes, from 11 to 5pm.
Guy: And your name is, so I know who I'm dealing with?
Me: I'm Eric.
Guy: I'll see you tomorrow.
Day two (instore)
Guy: Are you Eric?
Me: Yes.
Guy: I talked to you on the phone, these are the albums I had to sell.
(produces cloth bag with about 25-30 7" records without sleeves rattling around and two copies of AC/DC - Back in Black, a copy of Michael Jackson - Thriller, a copy of Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil and a copy of Loverboy - Get Lucky. The sleeves of all of these have dozens of hand drawn KISS logos more or less completely obliterating all of the artwork).
Me: I don't think I'd be able to resell them in this condition.
Guy: Oh really?
Me: Yeah, sorry
