I also hate ordering from overseas because of postage costs and many times when I order records from Europe they are poorly packed. It does seem to be getting better. Rise Above definitely packs records for safety. I wonder if Roadburn will get some of them, so the postage is cheaper for you? Yeah man, thanks for looking out. I actually found out that Kozmik Artifactz has copies as well so I'll be ordering from them instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty FUCKING dollars? I guess it's at least not a 7 inch. That will probably come out next month for $50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedshabazz Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Id like that egypt repress. Hopefully all that is heavy will have a copy. Just like that goya 35 bucks is an absolutely not price for 2 songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Can't believe I'm still contemplating actually getting this Goya...it's just going to sit there after getting listened to once, but keeping that 12" collection going is temptingggggg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel myself more wanting to get things for fear of missing out lately than because I actually want it. May be time for me to get out of the ole record game. jack8urt0n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I think I've also just gotten to a point where I have almost every "essential" album I've wanted from the past, plus a bunch of shit I don't really need or listen to that often. A lot of the fun has gone out of this hobby for me at this point, and it doesn't help that this forum has been really wearing on me lately (not this thread obviously). I'm definitely holding on to my essentials, but there may be a great purge coming. I want some money for other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely holding on to my essentials, but there may be a great purge coming. I want some money for other stuff. I KNOW what you mean about buying things in fear of missing out. It's usually a pointless endeavor and I'm also trying to break that cycle. There have been instances that I bought something at original price and was so happy later, but I'd guess that is far outweighed by records that I don't necessarily need and can't recoup the money I spent on them. I'd probably save money if I never bought any PO's and waited a year to buy it on discogs/ebay. I'd have a leaner collection, the best of the best.

Mars Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Agree w you both - feels like I've bought a bunch of stuff lately Bc I didn't want to miss it - which is even more costly in Canada with the conversion and pricey shipping. If I have buyers remorse, it's even tougher to just get my money back on some stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I better grab this in case I really, really want it later on, but it's going to cost an arm and a leg," vs...having more money for stuff I actually do really want right now. I need to get down to a more manageable amount of records anyway. It's at a point where I get to listen to them once or twice a week, and when I do I'm usually trying to get through the backlog of new stuff, so I'm not going back and listening to stuff I know and love. Add to that the fact that there are a ton of decent, but very "samey" doom bands...It might just be time for a break. I really should go through and pick out my 20-50 favorite records from each genre and really pare down soon though. lexicondevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHerbalLife Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Just interested, what number do your collections reach for you to play with such ideas? Asking because I'll be soon at 300 for 12" and been having those very same thoughts of purging lately. Sometimes I truly go nuts with vinyl and it hasn't really calmed down as of late. Of course, artists I love constantly keep releasing new music so it's easy to justify spending most money on vinyl (for the love of music, support etc.) but the question that still arises from time to time - do I really need it or is it just the collectionist impulse? I just don't want to see myself ending up with a room full of LPs and not much other experience in life. Gotta keep it even somehow just difficult to find that balance.

I'm ~1,000 LP/2xLPs at this point, plus a bunch of 7" I'd love to get rid of since I never listen to them. Edit: I have been collecting on and off for about 12 years though.

I've been up to 2.5k records, but it's closer to 2k now. Can confirm it has consumed my living room. Some days, I'll have 4-5 packages show up and I just throw them on the pile. I always get around to listening to everything, but many times, it's just one and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
