    Billich0986 got a reaction from jameshays in A discussion about record flippers   
    It's the intention behind the purchase. If you buy with zero intention of listening to the record, only to eat up supply and drive prices up, then you are a flipper. I don't see the hypocrisy here at VC, since the people are buying records to listen to them.

    Travis hinted in the my chem hot topic thread that it would be getting repressed. You might want to wait before overpaying for this.

    If you're using this record player chances are your "white whale" is still widely available at urban outfitters and hot topic.

    Yeah, the original clusterfuck would probably end up looking tame in comparison if we tried again.

    Billich0986 reacted to jameshays in My vinyl "investment"   
    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.

    "Do you have more than 16 records for sale?"
     
    "Well, don't hatch those chickens yet...cause right over here...we have our Instagram wall with this cool neon sign that says 'Records are my bae'...and people have been snapping pics there a lot...and next to that is this freshly vibe'd copy of tUNeYaRdZ.  Think African tribal beats meets #cooking...it's $26."
