    Also, important to remember that the RH reddit is basically 18 year olds who got into them last week and way too excitable fans that post 8 CDs and 2 LPs to show off their "collection".

     

     

     

    To be fair I thought the majority of posters on Reddit were 18 year olds. Although I must admit quite a bit of stuff that gets posted in vinyl deals also seems to end up here. 😀 

  2. The impact of the pandemic is certainly another factor, with delays of around six months for some major new releases, a lot of people probably impulse buy although the flipside of this is you do have longer to change your mind. A few years ago the average retail cost of an album in the UK was around £23 but now it seems around £30 is more the norm, plus heavily increased shipping costs for international stuff. Then there's the day I decided to become a King Gizzard completist, but seriously the number of multiple variants of releases is in some cases becoming  ridiculous.

    Not long ago there were a series of gambling awareness ads run on UK TV, the slogan for which was, when the fun stops, stop.

  3. I imagine my collection is fairly modest by the standards of many here, currently numbering 595 items, but after collecting for many years I've more or less decided I'm happy with it as it stands. I've drawn a line in the sand and will not go above 600 which leaves a tiny window in case 1 or 2 really must haves crop up. I also couldn't bring myself to part with anything, despite looking at the prices asked for some items on discogs and thinking..."shit"!
