monk0nuggets Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I'm bored at work and was browsing through some your lists and I've noticed a tremendous growth in many peoples collections. It's pretty funny to think that a message board could have such an effect on the way we spend our money. I know most of us, myself included, has spent a lot more money on vinyl since finding this place. I guess the point of this post was to say, "Great job dudes, and keep it up!" I know I'm stoked to say that in about 7 months, my collection has grown ten fold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest baseball Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Yeah, I've bought about 120 records in the past 6 months I think. Reading this board has a lot to do with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest genericinsight Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I'm just glad there's now a message board (or hell, a few even) that I can discuss vinyl nerdiness with. I was going through a phase where I wasn't buying vinyl a whole lot like I used to but posting here (and at deadformat) got me into it again. Reading this board inspired me to get my speakers fixed after being broken for a couple years so I could start listening to my records again too!

dante3000 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 It mostly came from my lack of knowing when and where to find vinyl. If I stumbled upon something I liked I was stoked and picked it up, now I know when and where most records come out and when things are put on special sale etc. Some examples include: Paint it Black - New Lexicon DCFC - The Found Transatlanticism Waxwing - The LP Virgil just got The Bronx - Bats! Many of the MFATGG recent work Fake Problems - Viking Eyes 7" These are all things I wanted but wouldn't have been up to date on if not for this site. It has been really helpful for these things.

jhulud Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I joined this board back in mid-August. Ever since, my collection has indeed greatly expanded but don't have any numbers. I have found new bands thanks to this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest genericinsight Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Oh, also posting here and at DF has gotten me back into record trading as well. I had awful trading experiences when I traded exclusively through another site (that caters mainly to hardcore people, chances are you know it) so much that it caused me to never want to trade. It's better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 ^^ Completely agree. I definitely feel a lot more in the loop now that this place is here, but at the same time as everyone knows, sometimes all these great deals/finds are irresistible and the ol' wallet suffers. Case in point, sometime this week, someone will post that the Isis box set is on sale, and I will HAVE to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlovecolouredx Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 many threads on this board had an effect for my collecting especially thread about pre-order or new release or upcoming release.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 many threads on this board had an effect for my collecting especially thread about pre-order or new release or upcoming release.... Yes! I have jumped on a lot of pretty gnarly pre-orders and rare releases thanks to other people posting threads about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you all have a way of getting me so amped up and excited, I have to buy everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Yeah, you all have a way of getting me so amped up and excited, I have to buy everything! I know that exact feeling. When I hear some people going on and on about a certain release or band, it prompts me to check it out and surely end up buying it. So you fuckers are partly to blame why I am poor sometimes...

kirbypuckett Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 My wallet hates all of you and this website. I on the other hand like to share +1s as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfiction Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 i think that everyone on this board should get a BJ from the following people: Mike from Asian Man (Goddamnit) Jake from Deathwish (upcoming Jane Doe repress) Mike from Fat (Square Dance 7" series) Var from No Idea (every HWM and AM! variant) our own Virgil (for countless MTB records to lust after) i mean, all my money already went to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddle350 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 my collection has grown so much since I joined. I owe about 80% of my BNO collection to being on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyljunkie Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 i appreciate that this board has a much MUCH lower percentage of flakes than other boards i check out. most of the stuff talked about on here is not my cup of tea, and seems to be repetitive, but when things do pop up, i can appreciate its a tighter knit community, and people dont seem to be as eager about being flakes on buying, or ripping you off when you pay.

nickbuysvinyl Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 i know that my interest in vinyl increased greatly after joining this board. Also, if it wasnt for this board, I wouldn't know about Record Nerd going down, Dead Format or alot of the bands i've gotten into since joining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfedaykinx Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 my collection has easily doubled since ive been posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valentine Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I def was in another slump when it came to vinyl and was planning on just selling everything off. I joined here to post my list for sale, but decided to wait a bit and stick it out, and now I'm buying vinyl again on an almost daily basis! Love it! But my wallet will probably kill me in my sleep for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillho Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I started collecting when I was 16, but until I was about 19 i had no idea they still made vinyl on a widespread basis, let alone that i could get my current favorite bands on vinyl. thanks to ebay and sites just like this i've been able to grow my collection exponentially and create a great collection of records spanning from the 1950s to 2008.
