No Buy Vinyl Support Thread

Bought into Joyful Noise early bird again for 25 after I really dug their 24 run. Otherwise I am going to try to buckle down and go no buy for a bit. There is a realistic shot at getting my mortgage and home equity paid off this year!

Then you can go all buy!

I've got a ton of pre-orders in the queue, plus my PIFsgiving haul all slated to arrive in the first couple/few months of the new year. Gonna try keep a pretty tight Q1 over here.*

Feel like I really fell off the wagon for the 2nd half of the year. I have 4 pre-paid pre-orders but nothing else in the pipeline for 2025 so hopefully I can do a no-buy for at least the first couple of months.

Looking back on 2024, at least I did not overall increase my vinyl collection this year. Got rid of just over 50 records and added 48.

Probably in for a Q1 no buy again. I’ve bought a billion records recently so plenty to go through, while also paying off some recent big buys (and saving for future big buys)

Back in to participating for the rest of 2024.

Made one online order of 5 LPs yesterday from a new favorite brick & mortar in Washington I had a great experience with, which will be my last order of the year. Just that and one lone preorder from the Target B2G1 sale a few weeks ago remains.

Have stuck to this. The aforementioned brick & mortar and Target orders arrived in early November. Haven't purchased a record since October and won't until April next year; midway through upcoming Japan vacation. Nothing pending/en route, either. Only additions I've made since October are a pair of Christmas gifts from my younger brother.

Hopefully there will be a local record convention early next year; I would like to participate as an in-person seller for the first time. I could probably set aside 150-250 records to lighten the collection count.

EDIT: Adjusted second sentence to include mention of Target.
