Fortunately, I've been able to acquire collections VERY cheap! Paid Don 
Keele $150 for what
was left of a large collection he had acquired (Don always sold 78's VERY 
cheaply after he
had them for a month or so!); bought another thousand-odd 78's acquired by a 
local record
store for $50...and bought about 1500 78's that a chap had left at the end 
of last year's
CCC for another $150 or so. As well, a local woman gave me her late father's 
78's...!
