One of my best buds sends me a picture of some recent arrivals at a local record store near him and asks me if I'd be interested in any of the 6 lps shown. A certain Drive Thru bands debut album was in there I was like "dude throw him $40 with a straight face and walk away" haha.

He said the guy was going to hold the albums and price out a the lps for him and get back to him. I'm like well there goes the deal of the century haha.

 

Just made an offer on a Leaving Through The Window. Fingers crossed I can finally complete my Andrew collection.

 

Back to work tomorrow after having a week off. One more for the evening.

 

Sooooo stoked to get my hands on the Turtles in Time soundtrack on vinyl in December!

 

But does the one have the music from the underwater dynamite section? There was music, right? I’m blanking but feel like I’d know it if I heard whatever sound there is there.

 

Oh there was music alright.
The sound of sheer panic and impending doom.

Five Iron Frenzy vinyl pre-order for ALL albums including The End is Near and Proof the Youth Are Revolting! Post on FB says they go live tonight at 6 pm CST. I'm going to spend way too much on these

https://www.fiveironstore.com/

 

Right when I'm trying to cut myself off from buying so much, they go and do this on me. There's at least 4 albums from them that I NEED to have.

 

I forgot about that part of the first TMNT!

I'm having PTSD thinking about it. I should show my kids what a real challenge is haha. Lose Donatello and you're screwed haha.

 

interesting thread - I know that I don't sell there anymore and I've been buying less.

 

Where do you sell? Trying to get rid of some and they ain’t moving over there.

 

honestly - I've become good friends with some of the shop owners here locally so they always buy my stuff for its true value. Not everyone is that lucky. I guess a lot of people are going back to eBay

 

Facebook groups for particular genres are also good for selling

 

like I'm in the emo vinyl and merch exchange and I've sold a lot of stuff there easily and fairly

 

Yeah I’ve just gone the eBay route. Has too many bad experiences with people on discogs

 

fees are essentially the same now and eBay has way way way way way better customer support

 

I pretty much only use Discogs for logging my collection

 

same

 

i never sold on discogs, but i definitely wouldn’t anticipate buying anymore if the prices are going to continue to skyrocket there. the state of collecting vinyl now sucks in general, with preorders of single LP records being $25+ and then the cost of shipping making sure it’s upwards of $35 now in total price. i’m sure purchasing anything with international shipping is just stupid expensive too.

this reminds me a lot of when i’d go into FYE as a teenager with a $50 gift card and walk out with 2 CD’s because each CD was like $18 at that point.

i sound so old and dated when i say this, but a decade ago new records were retailing for $15 or less. it’s just crazy to me how much things have skyrocketed in such a short amount of time. discogs is making the situation worse, which will inevitably lead to the facebook flip groups bumping their prices up even more too. oh well, i am thankful i got into the hobby a decade ago and not in the past year or two.

 

yeah somethings gotta give and it'll probably be people buying less vinyl which ultimately will hurt bands and local stores

 

Yeah the cost of buying vinyl has skyrocketed over the past year, I’ve resorted to pretty much only buying used.

That said, I’m pretty bummed about Discogs. I started selling on there last year and love how easy it is to list compared to eBay.

 

lmao

 

I tend to buy a fair amount on Discogs, though only if it's the best price or a variant not available anywhere else.
