electricsnow Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Tonight i got Wilco- Yankee Hotel Foxtrot for 15 dollars at best buy because they had the wrong tag on it. It even rang up as 23 dollars at the register but they had to give me it at what the tag said. Sooooo happy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 How much did they have, and where are you? The Hastings Books/Music/DVDs/Games near me just started carrying a little bit of vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuumi Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Go to the bestbuy website and search for vinyl. 6000+ items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Borders has vinyl too. I'm a rewards member, so they send me 40% off any item coupons about once a month or so. I've got my eye on YHF too. 40% off $28 is $16.80. Not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricsnow Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 I was at the Best Buy in Springfield, IL. They had a pretty good amount too, but it was all kind of awkwardly displayed on the top of all of the cd racks. YHF even came with a cd too! What a deal haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 They had a pretty good amount too, but it was all kind of awkwardly displayed on the top of all of the cd racks. they do they same thing at my best buy but dont really have that much. they only have a few copies of coldplay's viva la vida standing up on the top shelf in the boxset section. every so often when im in there i see a few kids looking at the record and wondering what it is. best response i heard was a giant book.

enjoyadrian Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 How much did they have, and where are you? The Hastings Books/Music/DVDs/Games near me just started carrying a little bit of vinyl. the hastings near me started carrying vinyl too. The selection though isnt that great, so i have to special order stuff. but on the plus side every friday they have 20% off vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezfools Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 fred meyer even carries vinyl now, not sure how widespread fred meyer is, but if you don't have one, it's like a smaller scale walmart I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglebowski Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I am almost positive Best Buy will not carry vinyl like they carry a large amount of cds. They probably have a vinyl distributor that they worked out a deal with to sell material through their website. Best Buy may take the order and send it to the distributor with a little price markup, and the distributor processes the order. It's basically a distributor paying use Best Buy's website. I don't know this for sure, but it seems the most likely way. Best Buy could have a vinyl warehouse somewhere, but I really doubt it. They just try and stock a few copies of a new record that they are 99% sure they can sell quickly, and let someone else deal with 6000 slow moving titles.

patron Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Sunrise records (a DVD/CD store for those who don't know) now carries vinyl. I went in the other day and it was a bunch of Radiohead, Coldplay, the new Mars Volta, and some Strokes. Not bad, but I've already got anything I would have wanted to buy from them.

I had ordered a couple of records through their website around february, records they claimed that were instock, only to find out a month later that they were on backorder, and then, not available.
