I think the order should be:
1. Steady Sounds
2. Plan 9
3. Deep Groove
Because, recently, Plan 9 jacked their prices up and minimized their selection. I realize part of it is because they're not doing extreeeeemely well or whatever, times are tough, but there's room for more a few more crates/bins. I hope Plan 9 adds some more, cause I know they have tons of records! Even if they just added some milk crates on the ground, I'd be pleased.
1 DOLLAR MILK CRATES. Not 1-5, or whatever they have it at.
Steady Sounds has better prices, and better records (in my opinion). Plan 9 really needs to fix their prices, or people will stop going there, and they'll have a much bigger problem coming their way.
Note: I mean no offense to Plan 9, I just want it to continue succeeding!
