I just purchased Coldplay The Singles for $40 (USD). All the Vinyl's are there, and the box is is good condition (excluding for a tear in the left corner of the cover) It also came with a bag (no mug). I believe i got a good deal, did I? Is the Bag rare? Thanks for anyones help ;)

Sounds like a decent deal to me. If all the vinyl and sleeves are clean, it's a good grab!

Got this awhile back and it's really great. I still love spinning vinyl so having a singles set is perfect !! The sound of these are very good too....they are pressed on thick heavy vinyl (180 gram or 200 gram, I don't remember). Good stuff here.

 

I've never seen the bag before, sounds pretty rare to me.

Really makes me wanna buy a turntable :( Maybe I can wish it for Christmas! Anyone can suggest a good one moderately priced? (Can you get a turntable with earphone plug by the way? I don´t have decent speakers :(

Honestly that sounds pretty good. Congrats.

Damn only 40 bucks?! I envy you ...

I've bought the set (new) for 90 euro's so it's a bargain! I love it too, en the audio quality is extremely good :).

I bought mine on eBay for €28 (or £28, I can't remember). It's still sealed but it came without the bag and mug.

You can always buy a portable turntable that has the speakers built right in (the "suitcase" models, if you will). You carry it around like a piece of luggage, and just plug it in to hear it. There are lots of models to choose from, but I'd stay away from Crosley. I hear there are always problems with those. Or, you can buy an actual turntable that you connect to a receiver as more of a standard home audio piece.

 

Speaking of which, in my opinion, Ion and Audio Technica both make decent turntables at good prices (usually under $80). I would suggest one of these as a good entry-level turntable. Usually Amazon stocks them. Not sure if you can plug an earphone in them though. Do you have a receiver? If so, you can plug the turntable into the receiver and simply use the out-jack of the receiver to plug your headphones into. As for speakers, they are relatively cheap nowadays. In fact, if you have any pawn shops, thrift shops or charity stores in your area, you can usually buy a good decent pair of used speakers for around $20 or $30. Later in time you could always get something new, again, through Amazon, Fry's, Best Buy, or whatever else is around your neck of the woods. Despite what people may say, you don't have to spend massive amounts of money to have a good quality sound system. And at the end of the day, it's whatever you want, what fits your own budget, and getting to hear the music you love. :)

What kind of stereo do you have (like a mini component or a tuner/etc...)? In either case, a nice little pair of shelf speakers won't cost you much. Not sure of any turntable with a headphone jack, but if your system had a phono connection you can run headphone from the stereo. If you run mini component, seek a phono built for that system.

 

Denon makes a fantastic entry level Turntable for under $100usc, but you can't go wrong with an old Technics, if you find one at a garage sale, etc... (wouldn't pay the price for new). I'd stray from Ion and other mid-level brands, since they have so-so reviews for reliability, but I see Ion has good cartridge availability, which is a plus. Personally, I like Denon, and primarily use their components in my audio system, so I'm biased, but it will last you forever. My first Denon turntable is 25 years old and still runs without issue. My newest Denon is five years old, purchased for its USB copying capabilities.

 

Good luck!

I actually got a really good deal on this for $30 at my local Newbury Comics. But there's a problem, on the Blue Room EP the package wasn't completely glued and the label on Speed of Sound says Thing I Don't Understand on both sides. I know it's not that big but it annoys me that I don't know what side is what song. Do you guys think I could return it for another copy? I know they take defective products back and give you another copy, but I'm not sure if they'll consider that a problem.

Ordered a copy of this yesterday $19.99 which is cheap converting it into £s.

 

But then postage took it up to £41. Still I reckon it is a bargain.

Sounds like a bargain to me... if only I had a turntable...

Looking to buy the singles 1999-2006. What price does everyone think would be good for the set? I'm looking at around £40 without the bag and mug. Is that good or is there a chance they may pop-up for cheaper?

In New England, we have this record store called Newbury Comics and they sell the box set for $30.

Absolutely.

 

I got it for Christmas this past year and have really enjoyed it.

Definitely. I bought mine four or five years ago for about $55.

Got the set last week for about $40. No bag or mug, but I love it soo far. However, I jumped the gun and bought the cheapest record player I could find, which apparently only plays at 33 speed. This meant extra editing on most of the tracks to speed up the playback to that of a 45. I'm considering taking back the turntable for one with adjustable speed. If the store will let me, that is. :(

Oh man i paid around 90 USD for mine in 2017 =(

Yes, purchasing Coldplay's "The Singles 1999-2006" vinyl box set for $40 USD with all vinyl included, except for a tear in the cover's left corner, and a bonus bag but no mug, likely represents a good deal considering the overall condition and completeness of the set. The rarity of the bag may vary, but the inclusion of it adds value to the purchase.
