so lets talk about soundgarden

Soudgarden is the best record store in the city. hands down. They have a great selection and great prices.

Ever wonder why?

It's because it's all stolen property. I suppose they actually pay wholesale for some of it, but mostly it's just stolen.

Junkies and hustlers steal from Barnes and noble, take the prices off and sell stacks of the latest CDs and movies to soundgarden at $2 per each. The rest comes in shipments from the other store in Syracuse, which ships stolen CDs and DVDs to the baltimore store on a regular basis. A $2 CD + 400% markup is $9.99 - the standard price for a CD in the store.

It's great - the product is in perfect condition. Every once in a while they even forget to take off the B&N label, and it still costs half of what you would pay for the product from a real retailer.

Surprised - You can always go to fletchers (which Brian also owns) and buy cocaine from the guy working the door.

I'm a pretty god hustler myself - I've gotten over more times then most, but at some point people like me should go to jail. The problem with baltimore is that if you put us all in jail, there wouldn't be anyone left.
