Already going through my Santee's collection on discogs, trying to figure out the perfect curated pick.

One question: should we only select brand new, sealed record(s)?

I think you go with what works. If I found something used in good condition that fit the bill I would definitely gift it. I know I wouldn’t be upset receiving quality used vinyl.

If You’re my Santa It wouldn’t matter to me if it’s new/sealed As long as it’s not all scratched up.

I'm just gonna echo what everyone else here has said - I'm totally happy with used if it plays clean and means I get a selection that may not otherwise happen.
My friends and I do a monthly(ish) SS style record club and it's much the same - probably 15% of the gifted records over the last 16 months have been used but/and amazing.

Heck, a bunch on my want list can only be found used. Like the others so long as it's in good clean playing shape I'm happy!

+1

Used is great as long as it’s VG+ / VG+ (my personal threshold)

Locked and loaded for my Secret Santee. I took some risks and hope they come off! Ho ho ho...

I've checked out my Santee's Discogs Collection and Wantlist the recent hours. I've now decided what to pick and will send directly from Germany. I hope I can send it off at the start of next week and that my package will arrive in the US right before Christmas

And my God - you guys in the US don't know how lucky you are. I just bought records for my Santee that would have cost me more than 3x what I paid for them at my local here in Norway. Yes, I know there are sales on etc, and that Norway is fairly expensive (but it's not much more than the European average).

But let that sink in: three times! Not sure what my wallet (or collection) would look like if I could buy at such prices...

I'm not sure regarding prices of vinyl records, but of all places I've ever been to Norway was the most expensive one. Switzerland and Canada come close.

Vinyl is not awful (especially when you add in VAT and shipping for elsewhere). But some other things are crazy - my beers last night were $14 each and weren't even a pint (400ml)...

@nolalady shot you a PM with an issue I ran into.

 

[Skalap]

Match received. Now I feel the pain of my last Santas and can't thank them enough for the great records they picked <3
