Quote from: guest on 08/30/2015, 09:43 PMOh, yeah, there are tons of record stores around here. The well-known stuff tends to be already picked up or overpriced, so I generally don't even bother, especially since I'm not a real collector.

You don't have enough record stores then. Here you can get pretty much anything that isn't Zeppelin or Beatles for less than $10, often less than $5.

It's not the stores, it's the number of people around me. 8.4 million people with a huge hipster population means a-plenty of vulturing.

The Record Store I go to called Dimple Books alot of used LP's are under $4

Except The Beatles around $10 or $15 depending what LP your looking for

You guys would love the thrift near my house, tons of records and they're normally like $2-4 each. Lots of times stuff makes it to 50% off day as well so it can be as low as a $1. I do see a lot of old collector dudes digging through the pile regularly though, so I have a feeling they snag a lot of the choice stuff, I don't really know enough to grab the "high value" items.

Thrift stores...require a lot of patience. I do them occasionally for fun with my girlfriend but there are only so many Mitch Miller and Der Bingle LPs a guy can use. I usually prefer to go one step further up the food chain, to a show or a used record store.

Something a lot of people don't get: this old shit we're talking about was often nowhere near best selling. A random LP from the 60s and 70s was more likely to be Burl Ives or some easy listening crapola, classical if you're lucky. Finding vintage Deep Purple or Genesis is hugely unlikely.

You can always find a Frampton Comes Alive though. Everyone has one of those at all times.

...a vinyl player. Unless you are Dutch, that's worse than SHMUP.

That is a myth. Beatles albums are not rare. They sold millions. There are variations of the original releases that are more desirable than others due to sound quality, but there are still lots of them out there...

"In demand" might be a better way to put it... it seems that everyone with a turntable zeros in on a few artists and they remain in high demand - The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Bowie...

IF you want to listen to The Beatles, by the new mono re-issues. They sound amazing, are accessible just about anywhere you might be and are not nearly as expensive as originals in like condition...

As far as I'm concerned, "vinyl player" is completely acceptable.

"Jacket Potatoes" on the other hand...

I have a rega planner 3 turntable which I 've owned since 1996. It's still going but I need to replace the stylus.

I mostly listen to trip hop, jazz fusion and disco stuff on there.

I still got an aiwa cassette deck and aiwa walkman but both need a repair with the rubber belts.
