I would love to start a record store in my town, sounds like a really fun job! How do you go about getting started, finding stock, figuring out what to charge for what, etc? I'm mostly interested in used records. There's a giant record convention near me a couple of times a year, but it seems like you'd need $10k or more just to purchase a decent inventory. I'm super curious about all aspects!

I'm familiar with QuickBooks and running a small business, having done that for a few years, and I kinda figured buying collections was the way to go. But how do I know I'm getting a good price, that I can actually make a profit from a box of records, without meticulously researching all the albums before purchase? I guess you sort of get a feel for that as you go?
