I only buy NM off Discogs and hope for VG+, I've not bought off eBay.......I will occasionally buy new off Discogs but I'll try and get a deep discount from sellers, most will usually bite on my offers.

Tjah, I don't know about that, even I may doubt.

I guess good news for all music lovers, but of course, not least for vinylphiles. Smile
What I take away is more people (music fans) are choosing vinyl/analog over CD/digital......Even under the argument that vinyl is more expensive.

Don't let that stop you ! I spin one a night, just after my honey goes up to bed. Then I'll throw a movie on until I go up.
There's always room for records. Big smile
I have another batch of 11 on their way for when I get back after cottage week.
Are you getting better performance from your records?
I haven't had the time to try the new tech yet, and I want to get a new pre-amp as was discussed previously. I'm hoping to get it for xmas. A long wait I know, but right now I'm buying these archival LP's in batches.

I’ve been saying for sometime vinyl is no more expensive than it was back in the day with inflation, there are many who don’t understand this financial fact.
But hey to each his own…..
