konk Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 So far it has only made me sell stuff that I've been wanting to sell for a while. Not break up a collection or anything. I also haven't been buying on ebay unless it's a really good deal. I haven't decided what I will use my ebay proceeds for yet, bills or more records.

captainmorgan Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I've definitely been cutting down on new purchases in the last month or two. Still buying stuff I really want, just trying to cut back on impulse buys and and taking chances on stuff I'm not familiar with. But that has less to do with the shit economy and more to do with me trying to go on vacation in a month. Recession-proof jobs FTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I've been "forced" to trim down my collection. Started selling on eBay a few variants and records I got on "whims". Dumb purchases at the time. As of right now not expecting to make a lot of money. Some money is fine...but mostly to get them out of the house and make room. As for record buying. A lot more selective on what releases to get as they've been coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I've only cut back a bit, and sold some stuff never should have bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 impulse buys are out the window. im taking less trips to my local record store now just so im not tempted to buy things i didn't go there intending to get. im defintiely more selective now than ever before.

corbet Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I haven't purchased anything since early December. Then again, you can blame the lack of records I actually wanna buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbledehoy Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 the american / australian currency exchange rate is killing me, i'm very rarely purchasing records from the usa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmonaut Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'm more selective in what I buy. No more filling the cart and hitting 'buy' - I now wait it out a couple of hours and make sure I really want those records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxv Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I never "trim down" my collection. However I have stopped buying every color of a record unless it is something I absolutely love and can't stand not having them all and even then I'm likely not to. Almost every new release that comes out on multiple colors I just pick the one I like the most (or the one that they made the least of) and stick with that. A good example is the Torche records, while I love those records, I can't justify or afford buying 6 copies of the same record at once anymore.

melikecheese Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 It has affected me in terms of NOT selling because prices are low. I am not going to sell anything and not get a good buck for it. I suppose it has also effected my buying but only because I am going to take advantage of the buyers market in real estate which is a bit more important then buying records.

aarondanger Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Since I will be out of a full time job in the next coming months just putting out records will be very very minimal till I get a new one and back on my feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest genericinsight Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Yeah, I had to sell some stuff to help pay for things, and I haven't been buying as much. Life blows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qskapunk Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 yea, i've definitely cut back on purchases, particularly on ebay i recently completed my casket lottery collection, so thats a lot less buying that I need to do i've also sold off a few things and thinned back a little bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechuckdiezel Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I have not really had to sell alot of things yet just basically what a bunch of ther people said on just got rid of stuff that was basically taking up space.........I def have tried to trade alot more to get new records and have been alot more selective whith what I buy but at the same time if its worth it I will but myself it some CC debt to get it. At the same point there are some things such as box sets and stuff were I find myself saving up for them instead of just buying like I woulduve done is the past.

coldsnap Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I've always been selective in what i buy, so it's the same thing with records, even tho it's the most i spend on. But i've definitely cut down on down on purchases as well, i often think about a few minutes if i really want that record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desensitizedbyu Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I want to sell a couple things, just haven't gotten to that point yet. Definitely cut back on the spending though. It's a shame because there's definitely things that I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
