bjaiken Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Funny this thread should come up. I have been buying vinyl albums for close to 8 years, but I originally did so because I loved the artwork. Within the past couple of years, I actually started playing some of the vinyl records I've collected (long story but the main reason is because I move a lot and record players and stereo systems aren't that portable). Anyhow, I really enjoy listening to vinyl records, and I'm still very appreciative of the artwork. I used to buy a lot of used vinyl, but the cost of used vinyl has gone up considerably within the last few years. I remember picking up same major albums for around $3. It's nowhere even close to that price now. Yard sales are still a great place to pick up used vinyl cheap. Just a side note - I love it when you buy used vinyl and the prior owner left the wrapping on and just slit one end. It's awesome to find it in that condition.

That's where my parents got the few vinyls I own. Actually, not too long ago, my mom went around to garage sales on a Friday, and at one of the estate sales she went to, she saw this HUGE collection of older vinyls in mint condition. I think because of that, though, the prices were higher, and my mom didn't get any because of it. :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjaiken Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I love looking at people's vinyl record collection. It combines three things I love: music, artwork, and collecting. The size of the artwork on vinyl records is just great, and it's something that is definitely missing during the digital download area. I'm weird because I even love the smell of old vinyl. I really enjoy going to genuine record stores and thumbing through their racks. I also have a lot of autographed vinyl which, in my opinion, looks amazing hanging on a wall.

So he didn't have to buy vinyl , and now , I want to buy "old stuff" :p So I'm looking for one second hand ... and still looking , for the last 5 months :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acquiesce Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I've been looking for 'Definitely Maybe' of Oasis for almost a year now ...

bjaiken Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Some vinyl becomes highly collectible once it stops being produced. I know Pearl Jam and Dave Matthews Band vinyl are very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_girl Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 So today was Record Store Day, i only could visit one store in Lisbon,only bought Forth by The Verve ..i wish i could bring some more records..but the ones i want were still expensive :wacky: Acquiesce after i checked all my Lp´s i realise that i dont have Definetely Maybe nor (Whats the Story) Morning Glory :lol: I have The Masterplan and Be Here Now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the reason I want that one , it's "old" I want to search for it and find it , not just get the 'newest' one , and do no afford at all... That's the cool thing about vinyl :p I wish no-one made things pre-ordering-able :p That's the awesome thing about new cd's , waiting in line at the shop , to get your cd , and just read the booklet ,and then come home and finnally listen to it ! :mellow: While now , the chance the album is leaked is soooo big , there's not that much suprise anymore ... You can preorder and stuff , you don't even have to go to a shop to buy any cd... You don't even get cd-cases with those download things ... argh , if I only was born earlier :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Escapist Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 There are listings on Ebay for Definitely Maybe but its very very expensive. The cheapest is $60 + $15 shipping but the dearer ones are up to $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Unfortunately didn't make it out for record store day. Hoping to get into the stores this week to see if any of the exclusives are left over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 went with a friend to the only record store in town for record store day, but it was so crap. No beatles, no radiohead, no u2, no floyd. Just a shitload of johnny cash and ancient bad classic rock albums. Best thing we could find was Billy Joel, Joy Division and a This Will Destroy You album.

NumbersGirl Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 :awesome: So what kind of material is the outer case? It looks a bit thicker than the standard vinyl cover case. Yesterday I bid $1 for one on ebay. I'm the winning bidder so far; however the reserve isn't met yet so I suppose my 'winning' bid doesn't mean much.

Prince Myshkin Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I gave my vinyls (and signed t-shirts) to girls who came around to my house when I was drunk. I have no regrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, my english skills are limited when it comes to THAT D: The box set is a pretty expensive item nowadays, I got it as a gift, but the person who bought it did spend quite a lot of money for an LP.

Yes, the ones I've seen are very expensive; the buy-it-now price on the listing is lower than retail, but it is still very expensive. In regard to the material on the outside case, it almost kind of looked like leather or some other thick material/fabric (in the upper part of this picture). It's hard to tell from the picture though, that's why I was wondering if you could describe what you actually have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
