Vinyl Junkies …

For real. Going into town on a Friday after work to spend 5 quid of my YTS wages on an lp.

(On a similar Middle Aged Thread tip) I also feel like I missed the moment between lps costing around £11.99 and £20+ being the norm...

UK 12 inch singles at £13 is killer and imports north of £20

Give another year or so and it's likely to be £30-40 avg. for new releases.
Kendrick Lamar's Mr. Morale... at £35-40 ish (even on Amazon, FFS!) last year will be the new benchmark. Sadly.

Yup.

I'm not pre-ordering anything any more. Just can't take the risk of spending £25-35 on something less than awesome.

The most recent Tool album is £50.

2nd hand classical music - pound for pound easily the best value for money.

I have about a dozen mid 2000s albums I bought from new that I don’t listen to, and realised may be worth something - what is my easiest/quickest/highest value way of selling these on these days?

I'll give you 50 dorrah. Posted. 🤪

To be fair selling quickly as a collection is not going to bring you much. Listing and grading each one on Discogs is a massive ballache but brings the best money.

List them here with an idea of condition and see if you get any serious offers.

Yeah, the grading is the annoying bit, I know what picky nerds vinyl people are. Will try on here first, ta.

Try on here is best as airhead said. It may shift some and save you some grief.

You might be alienating your core audience here 🙂

Unless of course you are one and that's how you know.

Guilty!!!!

And worse, a bike nerd.

You are amongst fellow junkies here, we all have a dozen albums to sell.

I ain't selling any of mine

Alright... all ar elinked to the specific version on Discogs

MSTRKRFT - The Looks
The DFA Remixes Chapters 1 & 2 in cardboard sleeve (can only find individually on Discogs?)
Peaches - Fatherfucker
Klaxons - Myths of the Near Future (engraved)
Bloc Party - Weekend in the City (Picture Disc)
Annie - Anniemal
Juliette and the Licks - Four on the Floor (original release)

Gah, and:

CSS - Cansei De Ser Sexy

I have a few more but I don't WANT to sell them and I have decided that I won't yet, maybe.

Peaches - snappy title 😁

She really mellowed by the second album

Just looked it up - brilliant!

Recent purchase. Definitely recommended if you’re a House/Garage House fan

Not got too many to live with yet? What are you doing in this thread!

Just keep expanding the storage. Funnily enough a couple of hours ago I was just trying to make more space.

My wife is pretty good about it, probably because I had loads of records when we met (over 30yrs ago now) and I only stopped buying temporarily when the kids were young).

I just can't give it any more space. Even if I had no new music to listen to until I die I'd have more than enough right now. As it is I'm still buying all year round.

I'm sure it's an addiction.

Yeah sherlock 🤪
