Prices have skyrocketed since you started, many records from the 70s and 80s were on crappy vinyl and there are some damn good quality reissues out there since you are into older stuff:
Beatles - Mono Reissues ($25ish)
Led Zeppelin - recent reissues ($25ish)
Jimi Hendrix - Legacy reissues ($15-40 depends on the release but the albums are all cheap)
Pink Floyd - recent reissues ($25-40)
Black Sabbath - recent colored reissues ($22ish each, avoid vol. 4 they used a crappy tape source)
Sundazed label will cover your 60s needs and they do many of the rare mono mixes and oddball bands for certain things, notable releases include: otis redding, blue cheer, dillard & clark, international submarine band, chocolate watchband, the byrds, bob dylan, and many of the other under the radar garage and psych. They do pretty quality stuff
Fat Possum did a pretty good job with T. Rex, Syl Johnson, Ann Peebles and other soul reissues
There is also a new all analog reissue label called intervention they run around $35-40 a release but the quality is incredible, Flying Burrito Bros. "Gilded Palace Of Sin" whoops the pants off the originals it was hard panned stereo, this is properly mixed finally
Anything Analogue Productions does is quality, and they hit some pretty big titles but they are $50 a pop and double 45 rpm
 
so it depends on what your wallet can handle but there is a wealth of great reissues some comprable or even better sounding than original pressings
 

*Or am I better off hanging around Discogs and waiting for a decent quality "Original" to pop up at a acceptable price? *
 
This, in my opinion, for most non-DSOTM things.
 
Its probably pretty easy to identify the best-sounding reissues for the big players (google.com, steve hoffman forums) or at least those that wont be tragic.

for what its worth, heres my opinion. it starts with, "im not surprised, but surprised" if its kevin morby
 
if you recall, most all new DD subscribers had to sign at least 3-month agreements. there was no way the third album was going to be a banger/in demand release.  theres also no way there are 30K morby fans out there, much less those subscribed to VMP. so, they press 10-15K of these (which wont cost nearly as much to license), wait for people to make swaps, press more if needed...essentially, this month is worth probably 500-800K in dollars, and it will allow them to clear out some of the old ROTM (since plenty of people will swap), in addition, its highly unlikely they will have to hold onto 15-20K of the current ROTM.
 
the real test will be can they sustain the subscriber uptick, and I think this is why the next ROTM will be on the level of DD, but they were always going to have a "meh" release this cycle in order to maximize the profit from DD.  anyone else think the current business model is one that helps facilitate a sale?  i think thats the logical next step (assuming it hasnt already happened)
 
i really like kevin morby, also, but will likely swap

yeah HS vs CS isnt even a debate. all sandwiches should be hot

sorry is that number right?

One could argue that trading any type of legal tender (even a single penny) for the Space Jam soundtrack is a rip off.

mine...Ive bolded ones that everyone should have

Listened to that AH last night and it is excellent, I agree.

Don, your knowledge of things Shoegaze and Post-Rock eclipses my own and most others around here I suspect.  I am, by nature, excited about most things you post.  I will probably wait for that upcoming "bundle price point" from Omnian...wish there was a limited version to convince me to pull the trigger earlier.  At first I thought you said Omnivore (not Omnian) which got me VERY excited.
 
Will pick this up for sure

I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but in the Southern Hemisphere it's Autumn during the U.S. Spring. I guess he's just trying to make it as clear as possible to everyone waiting.

almost seven months ago they were being inserted into sleeves.  what self respecting pressing plant, under any circumstances, would keep 500 units (?) of some low-level band/label just lying around, waiting for a decision on lenticular versus 3d versus regular covers .  asking for a friend

That entire record is incredible! Highly recommend it to anyone as a place to start with Bobs music 

yeah i shouldnt have limited it to being a "good track", that whole album is very good
