The last 5 weeks I bought several prog albums (KC-ITCOTCK, Camel-Mirage, Genesis-SEBTP, Yes-Yes Album, CTTE, ELP-Trilogy).

They all were in the price range of 10.45 euros to 13.45 euros. This is almost half of the price of more popular music (LedZep,Doors, bullsh*t like Greenday) which prices range from 20.95 to 22.95 euros.

Has anyone else noticed this big difference in cost too?

Maybe it is cheap... the problem is to find prog albums

Yeah, prog seems to be generally cheaper than other stuff.  And congrats on those purchases, all of them are great.

I bought WAW, ATTWT and Seconds Out (Genesis), Leftoverture (Kansas) and Canterbury (Diamond Head) for a total of £10 today

And these were all near-mint copies.

Normally I'd expect to pay £1 for an average Genesis or Yes album, and around £5 for Pink Floyd

Prog is dirt cheap - buy now before people catch on...

Arrgghh.. You are so lucky. Where do you find those?

In Finland, I have to pay 10-20 € for each album

All the early Genesis is  half as much as the later stuff.  Maybe no one buys it and they want to get rid of it.

In the shops Prog is most definitly not cheap. Classic albums can be anywere from £5-17 and new albums from the last 10 years are almost all £17
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

There are at least 4 second-hand vinyl shops around Reading, where I live, and loads more around London - and a great one in Oxford that sells high-value LPs at really low prices; I picked up a 1st press of "Saucerful of Secrets" in that shop for £20. Look on eBay, and try and find one for less than £150!

^ I only buy CDs ... and for that Ebay is ideal. I would be hesitant to buy vinyl on Ebay though ... you never know what you'll get (scratches etc.), and there's a higher risk that they get damaged during shipping.

There is that risk, but it's fairly easily overcome;

1. Buy only from sellers with good reputations (95%+).

2. Make sure your purchases are insured.

Enjoy your vinyl - I do

(I also sell on eBay sometimes... you can trust me... )

Thanks, but that ship has sailed ... I'll stick to CDs. BTW: I'm also currently selling albums on Ebay, to pay for my massive purchases this year.
