deafmx Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 More than I can afford this. I'd say an average of 20-30. I've always spent all my money on music and seeing bands. I've pretty much been just buying records moreso these days because paying $10-20 for a show and trying to buy all their shit leaves me bankrupt.

Dillhole Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 It varies far too much to make a estimate. Some months, zero, others, 50+. All I know is I've slowed down drastically as I have run out of shelf space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donlombardo Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Counting everything (CD singles, compilations, records and eps and stuff on all formats), I have over the years bought one every two and a half day (since 2002). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterrod Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I'm probably bringing in about 10-15 7"s and 20-25 LPs a month which I thought was WAY too many to admit to until I read this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

controlthebleeding Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 man, you guys must either all make a lot more than me, or be living paycheck to paycheck. neither. i am a total hermit. which saves me money daily. and i'm still able to go on a few week long vacations every year. i contribute that to actually not going out, nor drinking, smoking (now), etc etc. i don't have insurance or a car, so that helps too. i usually buy like 10 to 20 lps (new and used) and 15 7"s a month. been doing it for years. back in the 80's and early 90's it was far worse. i was spending up to maybe $20 a day in records. lps were $6ppd and 7"s were $3ppd then though. oh the good ol' days.

I pretend like I'm living paycheck to paycheck because I don't want to spend too much money on records and whatever else comes across my daily path that I might not necessarily neeeeed. I use up a shit ton of gas in my CR-V travelling back and forth, and I buy a lot of fruit and bottled water which for some dumbass reason is expensive! I will feed my liver on a given day of the week if it's with some friends, so that adds up because I'm a bit too social. Plus, I still have one more god awful year of school and I'd like to live in town by the campus, then transfer stores so I'd still be able to work. As for record buying: I'll preorder if it's cheap enough (in my opinion) Buy a few here and there off the message boards eBay steal Get a sweet discount from some online store. I probably bring in 10-15 per month. I only have a little over 200 records, but worst case scenario if I have to sell each record for $10, there's $2000 I could use towards a car issue, school situation, or plane ticket to the czech republic to live with Crispin Glover.

Sometimes it makes me feel better about purchases if I think of my collection as a savings account, that hopefully will go up in value and not down. I just have to avoid buying overpriced crap that's just going to sink and stick to used deals. There's gonna be ups and downs, but hopefully if I had to sell my collection I'd come out on top.

You probably would have a hard time selling even HALF of those for 10 bucks a piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swoopdog Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 That makes me sad that someone would think of their collections as if they could always just sell them. Poor records :'( :'( :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY GRANDMOTHER WOULD TOTALLY GIVE ME $1 FOR EVERY RECORD I COULDN'T SELL FOR $10, and after she dies I'll inherit them. By the way, is the ...Who Calls So Loud 2x10" out of 2000?

headtowall Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 not as many as I would like ha same. but i would say between 5-20 depending on the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotfactory Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 normally i keep it somewhat mellow, trying to limit it to trips to local shops to buy used records. sometimes things get out of control, like the last two months, where i start buying way too many records online. it has been a busy two months. i need a break. my wallet needs a break. i would say typically about 5-10 records a month.

lonesomexloveus Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 ok, better question. how much money (in dollars, or whatever weirdo currency you europeans use) do you spend on average in one month on records? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djones0930 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 ok, better question. how much money (in dollars, or whatever weirdo currency you europeans use) do you spend on average in one month on records? Um, I spend DOLLAZ, A-MONEY! GEEZ I spend at least $100 if I get carried away. There's a new record store in my territory that has some overpriced and legitimately priced records, so I try to help out those dudes. I've actually found cheaper priced records for them and got them to consider bringing in a turntable to put behind the counter. I really hope that happens. Anyway, what was I supposed to be chatchitting about? Oh yeah...I spend too much dinero on records! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamitekid Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I only spend like $30-50 a month now. I've been very careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like if I stayed away from VC for a month, I would probably save a lot of money. So many preorders and deals/sales... I can't help it. Ugh.

I feel like if I stayed away from VC for a month, I would probably save a lot of money. So many preorders and deals/sales... I can't help it. Ugh. Yeah, staying away from VC would bring down my purchases quite a bit. But... I can't help but go on auto pilot and check the site everyday. I seem to be spending an average of $150 on music each month. But I really need to slow down on the purchases for a bit, because I have an outrageous amount of CDs, LPs, and 7"s that are in my 'not yet listened to pile.' It's almost as if I have my own little personal record store...except I don't get many new releases in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
