themightychew Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hey are you looking to burgle us or something At the moment I seem to have gone mad, so I'm looking at about £250-£300 a month ($400-$480) - but records are more expensive in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 400 USD a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudsoncomplex Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I've REALLY cut back lately. We're paying off debt and hoping to buy a larger house with more property in the next few years. Lately it's been about $20/month, but was up to about $200-300 at some points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Probably average 400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emo Revival Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 It fluctuates depending on the month and whats available, but I try my best to stick to a budget of $100 a month, otherwise I'd be broke pretty damn quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicity Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Entirely too much. If I can get it down to $200/month or less, I'll be really happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withengineheart Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 about 200 USD.. shit's gotten out of control after landing a job at a record shop. first dibs on deliveries.. dangerous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 $100 minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacooper Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Way too much this past year. My collection has exploded from probably 100 records in December to 400+ now. I think I'm averaging upwards of $400/month, I really need to cut back. Thankfully all the bands I like had represses of the records I most wanted this last year so there shouldn't be as much on a go forward basis. This hobby is getting too expensive.

ronniegwilliams Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Jealous, super jealous of some people. I'm a poor college student, so for awhile I was selling records I didn't listen to so I could find new ones- the. It was probably around 100-150 a month. Now it's closer to 20-30 a month since I was only going to school and not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold them all in college, wish I had those things back. Sold my entire (albeit small) collection again after college and now am playing catch-up after starting to collect again about a year and a half ago!

Word. Plus if it's a slow day you just sit around ordering shit for the hell of it. Our shop has a ''borrow'' system which basically means pay it later. Really not looking forward to next month's bill.. PLUS we just reopened as a bar. Wallet=empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 the first year or so of collecting i was easily dropping $100-150 a month... but living at home and steady pay certainly helped. these days i'm limited to maybe buying an LP or two, and never spending more than like $30 a month.

dm Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 varies. i don´t buy on a regular basis. depends on how much money i got to blow off and which record. sometimes i buy 2-3 months 3-4 records per month and then 10 in one and so on... 200€ was maximum i think...lol to be honest, i spend like ALL my money on records. few concerts, beside that i save Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billynomates Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Probably £300 a month now. Needs to be way less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewberinger Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 really just depends on what's releasing that month. So far this October I've only bought Hostage Calm, P.O.S, Flying Lotus, and will be buying the new Kendrick Lamar next week when it releases. So basically anywhere between 40-100 bucks a month.

Shitty Rambo Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I've chilled on random spur offer the moment purchases. I'm not buying represses or 7" teasers anymore. I've also been avoiding anything that costs more than $15 with a couple exceptions here and there. I'd say right now I'm spending $10-$40 a month, sometimes $0 a month.

amnstypls Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I was lucky enough to bonus at work last month and so this month I'm already about $1000 in. I'll be honest though, a few of them I bought just to flip on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
