tarzioo_ Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Been at it for 2 years but got serious last fall and im at 240. I think I've got 10 incoming. I've had to start limiting myself to buying one a week since things for pretty intense. Don't get me wrong, I loved it but I was very very broke.

mrc Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I believe I was about 15 when I picked up my first punk rock 7" around 1996. My list is severally outdated but I would guess I'm about 1500 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnayala90 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Bought my first record (and only for that year) in fall 2008. my involvement and understanding of the format and hobby has been gradual. but with inheriting a pretty nice set up and getting a second income, these past two years have been my most involved as far as preorders and seeking out my faves. i currently have 120 LPs, and 75 7"s.

ntslash Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Started collecting CDs in 1989. Had over 1000 in 2008 when I decided to switch completely to vinyl. Now I have about 300 CDs and 600-700 records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I have around 85 records and I've been collecting for a year...which is actually really good for a broke college student. Assuming that you've been a member on this board for about a year, the even more impressive thing is your postcounter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russtcb Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'm right around 750 right now. I've almost knocked out the "wish list" I started with which is cool. Should slow down a little on purchases after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korgull Of Morgoth Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I've almost knocked out the "wish list" I started with which is cool. Isn't that the best feeling ever? Mine is still huge, over 800 records (actually a lot less since I added a bunch of different pressings from certain titles) and I don't think I'll ever see the end of it since I keep adding stuff like every other day. But that's why we like music in the fist place, right? bathroommonkey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ight Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 About 150 CDs and around 75 records (12"). I used to buy CDs a lot once I finished high school and started working full time. So I'd say 90% of those came from that first year or two of working full-time and living at my parents' place. Then when I moved out, I decided I couldn't afford music (lame) and went back to downloading stuff. Vinyl piqued my interest a while ago because I would keep seeing bands I like releasing their music that way. After a few years, I finally bit the bullet and began looking into vinyl (which was about one year ago from present time). At this point, I've gotten rid of nearly all the music I don't legally own, and that's what I'm most happy about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoshotthefrog Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I've been collecting record since 1987-88. I currently have over 1,600 records and 2,000+ CDs. My record collection total would be much higher if I didn't have to sell off 75% of my collection to pay for a couple of semesters of college, and when my records got destroyed in a flood in the mid 90's.. The shitty thing is trying to reacquire these records I sold and lost. The prices are astronomical nowadays, especially the Revelation Records I want.

mdb Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 About 335 LPs. I've been buying vinyl for a decade but I've had roughly the same size collection for a few years now. During that time I've been buying a couple records per month but I've been selling around the same amount. If I haven't listened to a record in a year or two I know it's time to get rid of it. I have yet to regret selling a record, though there are some I regret buying. I hate having stuff just for the sake of having it. If I don't use it, I don't want it.

bathroommonkey Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 cd's - like six storage boxes in the attic lp's - 10 ikea exhipbit squares 10's - half of an ikea square 7's - 4 half length comic boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aju2streets Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 On the subject of stuff I haven't listened to in forever I generally like to keep it. You have to have liked the music enough at some point to buy the record so you might come back to it again sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Discogs says I have 232. I have a bit more than that, but not much. Started collecting around 2005ish. But between 2007-2012 I pretty much only spent money on drugs so I feel like I bounced back alright. Using the discogs value thing it seems as though any record I have that's worth anything is a record I would rather bring to the grave. That goes for a lot of the ones that aren't worth anything too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allenh Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 A lot but still not enough, although my wife would disagree on the not enough been collecting since the 80's and according to discogs I have 6808 items of which all are vinyl except for around 20 or 30 cassettes, haven't bothered putting my CD's on there as I can't be arsed and the vinyl took forever.
