    you can think whatever the hell you want.  I could care less about the last five pages of whining about not getting free stuff.  when I started looking at the thread from the Sale post forward, it looks like a mix of multiple conversations.  without the benefit of reading back, not something I am interested in doing considering it seems to be 5 pages of b.s., i did think sale orders were being canceled.  Total internet fail!! OMG!

    Lol at this thread. People with cheap record players (and other equipment) thought RL Led Zeppelin II sounded like crap when it was released.

    It would be very Insound of them to go out of business with no sale.

    And when I stupidly was buying up cd's like I couldn't get enough WHEN THEY WERE COSTING MORE THAN RECORDS WOULD HAVE.  Sad face.  Sorry for the bump getting people bummed, I just thought we would have seen something with this by now.

    this guy has it all wrong. you don't buy records for an investment... you buy them so some other geek can't have it, and then you post pictures on the internet of it to mock them for not having it.

    I love how so many people don't understand how liquidity, supply and demand and transactions work when valuing "investments". Especially when it comes to vinyl. Between watching the conversations in Sale/Trade/Wants and general conversations I have had with "collectors" it provides a lot of entertainment. Realistically, with the exception of some, the majority of used records should be valued between $5-$15 maybe $20 if they are brand new. Just because 4 idiots payed an average of $60 for you one off hot topic pop punk band record doesn't mean there is an infinite supply of buyers willing to pay that price. More likely the pool of buyers has dwindled now that those idiots have there hands on it. If you want a record bad enough go ahead and buy it for whatever price you deem worthy, heaven knows I have paid up to get certain things, but just don't expect to find someone to pay that price plus whatever premium you place on it down the road when you need to sell it, unless you are willing to sit on it for a year or two. If you need that cash now well good luck then...

    It's been one year since I got the vinyl bug and it doesn't appear to be going away any time soon. Right away I could see my spending getting out of hand and we had just started the Dave Ramsey budget plan. This of course made things tricky but it made me very careful what I buy, and more importantly how I buy.
    I discovered Discogs pretty quickly and found out it was very easy to set up and sell from. Each week I'd come home with a few garage sale scores to list for sale. As an Amazon Prime member, I not only learned how to search for bargain LP's, I made sure I ordered one at a time so I could keep the packing material (never once have I purchase a shipping box). 
    Another help was buying two copies of any limited/variant editions and selling one to basically pay for my copy or at least make it very cheap.
    All in all it's gone pretty well and I've tracked all my purchases/sales in the "You Need A Budget" (YNAB) app on my iPhone. Since last June, my out of pocket expense is about $800 and I've got about 400 records. The other good news is I just finished logging them all in Discogs and according to recent sale info, my collection at the low end is at $3400 on the low end and $9500 on the high. Anything used I own is VG+ or better and of course the new stuff is all NM.  While I'm a bit over budget on a monthly basis overall since last June, I've still managed to get a heck of a collection for a relatively low outlay.
