But I do have a number of LP's I'm currently considering buying. Mostly on my phone I search cat#'s for release info. Discogs is exceptionel good to look for release informations and as a buying place. I've bought a lot there the last 12 years, but in the recent years, I noticed some more overgrading. Most of it is over graded, I only look for NM copies and I expect VG+ to arrive. But I also offer much lower prices than they ask, it's rare I pay what they want. If they don't take my offer normally I walk..... I have bought M sealed as well.

Ditto ! And when the true NM arrives, I cream my jeans.

Had a satisfying record store jaunt on my lunch break today. One of those trips where I go with specific things in mind (today, particularly focusing on 70s stuff I always ignored) and bypass the usual self control filters that invariably shave a few records off my initial pile. I came, I saw, I bought.   I bought 5 Manfred Mann’s Earth Band albums I’ve never heard before, among other things. Always liked the 2 albums I had, and decided today to go all-in.

JD wrote: Oh I have no doubt there are tons of them, I was just curious if anyone had specific suggestions maybe based on firsthand experience. You know, better inventories, better customer service, best pricing, that  sort of thing. There's no way Mrs JD will last more than maybe two store visits in a day. I may have two days available so I wanted to be prepared.

This is a very well made documentary, maybe you all know about this one already. Wife and I watched it couple weeks ago, very enjoyable. She really digs this guy's attitude which I have to agree, he's very mild mannered and conscience of other people...."we enjoy records and music so your my friend..."
