Resellers also f***ed the market up. Niggas annoying af inflating the prices

chasing grail LPs <<<<<

going to a record store & buying a big stack of random, obscure secondhand 12"s for sampling & discovery purposes for the same price >>>>>>

Vinyl are just expensive wall art

Some y’all are acting like supply and demand isn’t real lol just because resale prices are high it doesn’t mean people are price gouging even though some def are.

S*** I think it’s worst to sell a record you love that might not be repressed for $250.

I was lucky to get in during a dead market where even in college, when I was broke, I was right next to Amoeba and Rasputin in Berkeley and you could go and find some real gems and gorgeous stuff for like 5 dollars at times. Now it’s a little crazy but I feel like vinyl is a nice avenue to celebrate music in this day and age. Frank Ocean burned me a couple of times tho. Lol.

i already did my vinyl collection phase back in 2015 when mcchickens were a dollar still thank god

Vinyl and sneaker head moneypits. I fluctuate between the two sadly. I’m a sucker but hey, you love what you love.

In the same token, the resurgence led to a lot of the City Pop stuff getting a surge of reissues over the past couple of years which has made me really happy.

Yeah I recently got really into vinyl and I was going a little too crazy for a while.

Any day of the week I could go on Reddit or browse a couple different sites and find a few that I “need”. Had to chill out a bit lol.

That being said though, if/when a $$$ vinyl gets released I’m buying it instantly lol

Banger movie, money well spent

& synths

You could get a Juno off eBay in the 3-800 range about 10 years ago now you’re dropping at least 1k 😭

For better or for worse, Social media & flex culture further commodified the whole entire idea of having a hobby or a dream, and demand is high for just about .. everything

i was gonna start collecting vinyl for my bedroom wall ended up going with CDs instead. a lot more options, audio quality is pretty much guaranteed, and most are less than $15 so i’m adding new CDs to collection each week

this is only like two month’s worth of collecting

u say dis but just yesterday i copped the sonic spinball vinyl for like 30 bux

Wtf where

data-discs.com/collections/records/products/sonicspinball

Real one

you got some real ass picks

s/o The Radio Dept. their discography is amazing

Light in the Attic has been clutch for all that stuff

All Eyez On Me is a 4lp tho, idk if that’s the best representation even though you make some points

They’re not really fragile lol I’m sometimes guilty of taking poor care, left my I Don’t Like S*** I Don’t Go Outside record on the floor in shambles out of case for a month and had scratches and played through perfect lol

need one of them vintage B&O cd players

Y’all find a way to complain about EVERYTHING.

Complained about CDs, then downloads happened.

Complained about downloads, then streaming happened.

Complaining about streaming and now physical product is making a return in prominence… and y’all are still complaining

these discussions need to be had there's ups and downs to every format

not all 4 lps are priced like All Eyez On Me. a lot of them are below $50

i actually got that one at a concert years ago that so technically that was the start of my collection lol
