Don't know about the Oshawa store or how often they get 78s but I often find 
large loads of Christmas records in one bin at the various Goodwill and Sally 
Ann stores in the States. I also sometimes find long runs of the same artist, 
like The Kingston Trio or Al Hirt or anyone you care to name. I don't know if 
they were received all together or if someone in the back room takes the time 
to organize things. One time, the SA in Niagara Falls NY had a few bins of 78s 
out front (including 8 orange label ARC Theater Use discs) and the guy in 
charge asked if I wanted to see more, and showed me a box with the entire 
Sounds Of Our Times series on mint 78s. (Yes, I bought it.)
