Seedy Al Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Hey guys. Niki and I are coming up to auckland this weekend to collect a suzuki carry van. Wouldn't mind checking out some good places to buy some vinyl records. And maybe second stores. Or even just sweet places to visit. So hit me with your best shots!!! Hearts.

Shaz Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 So hit me with your friend's cock! Real Groovy is obvious, but you should definitely go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachlander Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Yea real groovy, or conch records in ponsonby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bronze Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Musiquarium on Dominion Road, just up from Segedins is good for a mix of secondhand stuff around the $10 mark, and a bit of new stuff. Southbound Records, towards the top of Mt Eden Road is ace for new stuff, and it's close to Galbraiths for a brew. Real Groovy though, heaps for cheaps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corbie Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I should visit Musiquarium at some stage.. considering it is at the end of my street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Alien Records, Veronica St New Lynn. Bit tricky to find but it's not so bad once you're in there, I've found some gems in there. Conch is good if you're into dance music, hip hop, dub, roots etc Musicquarium is primo just to go in and yarn to Rick, he's a GC. Southbound can have the occasional bargain but the vast majority (and I mean vaaaaast) is pricy new stuff. Sometimes stuff gets marked down and I've had some good sale bin scores. Real Groovy is Real Groovy - easily the biggest and best in Auckland but true bargainous gems are drying up and their prices are going up as a result. Junk and Disorderly in Northcote is a huge as fuck second hand store, and has boxes upon boxes of vinyl - rare to find anything decent (think Seekers, Kamahl infested collections) but I have once again been successful there. JB HiFi in Queen Street has an ever expanding section of new vinyl too. I would offer to take you on a record store tour of the 09 but I am unfortunately away that weekend.

kiwi808 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Junk and Disordely on the North Shore is pretty cool. Heaps of old tools, car badges, magazines, crap, everything. It is a trendy North Shore shopping spot so most stuff is quite spendy compared to say op shopping, but it is a very cool shop and only a short hop over the bridge. Usually band playing on a Sunday etc.... FYI none of the old surfboards in there are for sale.... *sadface* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Sounds like real groovy and junk and disorderly are the tickets hehe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The others have the record shopping covered, but if it's op shopping you're after, call in to The White Elephant on Karangahape Rd under the Hollywood Bakery. They have an entire basement full of knick knacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourning Cupcake Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Definitely keen for knick knacks and general junk. Have a whole mini van to fill!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0R10N Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Nice one, dad. Niki, If you're not super hungover on Saturday morning you could also hit up the various car boot markets scattered around West Auckland that start at the crack of dawn and go until about 11am. There's a good one halfway between my place and ChrisTara's on the corner of Great North Road and Edmonton. I've found a few cool things there, but I'm never up early enough to score the awesomest bargains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourning Cupcake Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 We don't get up there till Saturday afternoon unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hi hi. Can you please bring me back a turntable and possibly some speakers from Auckland? No biggy if not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourning Cupcake Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 YOU WANNA TAKE UP MY VALUABLE JUNK SPACE??!! Probably. Will have to wait for Allan to see this. He's quite possibly bought something massive that will take up ALL THE SPACE and not told me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Oops that was meant to be a PM. Damn small phones and huge fingers. Need a dialling wand. Cool let me know. I can probably ask Biff to bring it to FAMP in a couple of weeks time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threeonthetree Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Real Groovy are having some sort of sale this Saturday. Not sure if it's a proper sale or a 'sale so that more people will turn up and when they realise that nothing is any cheaper they will still buy something' sale. Be worth a look though.

The Bronze Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 real groovy have so many awesome/shite old 70s/80s records at $4 a pop you'll be winning anyway. I accidentally went up there last week at lunch and went back to work an hour late loaded with stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
