I found these at a thrift-type store, one that sells things like whole boxes of corks, old National Geographics, bolts of leftover upholstery fabric, etc.
I didn't buy, although I should have gotten at least one since they were unique for the time: a whole pant-load of the 2-LP version of THE PHANTOM MENACE.

I used to be a thrift store junkie until about 5 years ago. I would go a few times a week to different stores and browse their LPs and CDs and sheet music. I would almost always leave with a stack of soundtracks and other records. At 25 - 99 cents a pop, it was a cheap way to sample different titles that I never heard before. And most of the time I was pleasantly surprised. However, my collection started getting too massive and I had to just quit cold turkey.
Some of my favorite soundtrack LP finds back in the day were: DUCK YOU SUCKER, WATERHOLE #3, DEATH WISH II, DRACULA (Williams), BUCK ROGERS, TROLL, RETURN OF THE JEDI (Wicket Picture Disc), a complete Elvis movie soundtrack collection for $25, AMERICAN FLYERS, ENTER THE DRAGON (Promo), SUPERFLY TNT, HEAVY METAL: THE SCORE (Promo), SHAFT'S BIG SCORE! (Promo), RUNAWAY, and KRULL.
Cool CD finds included: THE FINAL COUNTDOWN, LAND BEFORE TIME, STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE (Japanese Issue), STAR TREK IV and VI, and KUNG FU: THE LEGEND CONTINUES.
And Sheet Music finds: THE ICE PIRATES, STAR TREK: TMP, KRULL, DRAGONSLAYER, SPACEHUNTER, and many more.

Well... the search function actually worked for me just now for the first time!
Anyhooooooo...
I was just at a local thrift store(Not a franchise), and found Williams' Harry Potter and the Scorcerer's Stone... mint condition... for a BUCK!
With the exception of that well-known piece from the film, I'd never heard a note. WONDERFUL MUSIC, but am I the only one in thinking that it sounds an awful lot like The Nutcracker at times?
I think someone gave a kid this CD for Christmas just so the kid could get that ticket thing to try and win a prize, because, as I said, even the JEWEL CASE is scratch-free... I doubt the CD was ever played!

Probably my greatest thrift store find is when I found Randy Edelman's "Diabolique" at Rainbow Records for only 99 cents!

Just went to a Salvation Army thrift store in a nearby town and found JNH's King Kong! I know you people have raved about this score.... I'll find out for myself in a little while!
Forgot to mention I got it for 99 cents!.

A friend of mine bought Lionheart from a Goodwill down the street for $3.00 and gave it to me on account of my collection being robbed.

After reading ZardozSpeaks's funny post, I'd hate to know where one would pick up a used copy of "50 Shades of Grey" from...
