Play the apple sorting game and get a raffle ticket from him. Save and then try to get three numbers in a row. (1-2-3, etc.)
He should give you the record titled "Love" as a prize.
Now, sell it right back to him over the counter for up to 170,000 gold! You can do this repeatedly, for tons of cash early on in the game.
PS. Can be used during any Year, but has to be the first week of Spring.
