South East -
There are tons of thrift stores and flea markets all over the states. They usually open on Sat-Sun.
You can buy a 12" and sometimes an LP for a dollar. You just have to really hunt.
Most of the time someone will have donated in the entire collection to the Goodwill or Salvation Army.
For record shops in general, if your friend can make a trip to Florida Orlando has a huge store called Rockin-Roll-Heaven that sells way more then classic rock.
"More Dusty then Digital" in Atlanta is also great.

I recall a few shops on Height Street in San Fran that seemed to sell nothing but rare funk/soul/jazz records....I'm sure someone here know's what the name of that shop is if it's still open for Business.
