Can you introduce yourself, is this your main activity?
My name is Bruno TRIVÈS, I am a big fan of funk music and a former record shop owner.
How did you end up with such a big record collection?
I have been collecting for 30 years; I built up my collection by digging in the crates here and there.
Give us a story as a seller
A little story, 20 years ago: I had a stall in a record fair located in Montpellier in the south of France and I was a bit disappointed for not having sold much that day. The friend who was with me was like everyone, in a hurry to pack and leave the place but I insisted on staying till the very end, who knows?... A guy came to me and told me he was planning on opening a record shop, so he needed a lot of records. I sold him a complete crate of vinyl records. No need to tell you that he made my day! I was more than happy! Since then, it never happened to me again…
