your record shopping habit

[xlovecolouredx]

this is not a marketing research.

i just wonder after economic in the states got better from hamburger crisis (or not, i'm not sure), it seems most of us can pay more tha last year, two years ago for record.

or economic still down but we pay more for vinyl because most of an old catalog will be repress.

i think most of us pay for old album more than new album since 2010 started.

let's discuss....

What's a hamburger crisis?

I usually spend somewhere around $100 a month on records. And it is a mix of new releases, used older releases, and represses/reissues/old albums that are new to vinyl.

Now you've got me thinking about it, and I'm afraid to add it up.

[steveooo]

If we're talking US dollars I easily spend over 250 although I had my first ever mortgage payment this month so maybe I'll cut my spending.

[celebdeath]

depending on the month, 200-400 bux a month. have to sell stuff to help fund it. its fucking scary sometimes, how much i spend on rekkids. have to cut back. have to.

[refused]

$101-150

[Just Another Tom]

On average, including postage from the US around the $200 mark, although shopping in the UK i can spend easily spend $100 in one visit to a brick and mortar store.

I would probably increase my average by another $50-$100 but i haven't had constant work since November, so i have not been spending as much time in record stores or on the forums. Looking forward to getting back in to the swing of things when the cash starts flowing again, Epitaph for one have reissued a lot of records i really want to pick up.

[lonesomexloveus]

depends on the month and what pre-orders go up, etc. i also have to split my $ between records and photo equipment. usually photo related stuff wins out.

[psychoriley]

Damn.....I spend too much! probably about 200 sometimes more the last several months.

[goraiders]

1-25!

[Guest naytoid]

At the moment...

I have been known to drop $200+ a month when money is right as opposed to tight.

[fourfourtwo]

I admire those of you that can control your spending, ha.

[Guest]

I don't understand how you guys can afford the things you can when spending so much on records. It boggles my mind.

[headtowall]

i say i average $100-150

[mcm1610]

I go some months without anything, but then I spent about $130 this past week. Usually it probably averages out around 50 bucks.

[alertthemute]

I usually go through spurts of spending, and generally it's about $100 at a time. Last time I bought a record was like 1-2 months ago, and I spent like $85 at my local shop. That's a lie, I ordered the Jane Doe repress, but missed out on the YFM silkscreen Still need ANY copy of that album.

[rockstar71888]

depends. releases tend to come in waves. so some months i'll spend alot, others i'll spend next to nothing

[Guest eriathomas]

$50-100 lately, it used to be around $200-300 a few months ago but I cut back a lot.

[lifebystereo]

Over $250, because I spend all of my disposable income on records now. I don't even go to the movies anymore because I'd rather have an LP than sit in a theatre for 2 hours.

[sonix]

just depends on the month and what comes out. I usually limit my purchases to bands I really like, and lately I've been putting most of my money towards baseball tickets so thats really slowed down my vinyl spending.

[deafmx]

normally $150-200. it depends on the month but I usually go overboard every month on records and I keep trying to cut back. it's hard to stop record collecting when there is constantly something limited or something you can't miss out on.

solution: stop trying to listen to so many different types of music and keep up with new bands! variety is to blame!
