Online Vinyl Deals

I grabbed Milt Jackson And The Thelonious Monk Quintet BN Classic for $14 including tax, make sure you check those details before buying from the Warehouse and set the right expectation that your record might arrive knocking around inside a much larger box with no protection!

I grabbed this too.

Coltrane/Hartman and Blakey/Monk are some others available outside of BNC. All AAA however

For those uninitiated, Warehouse is a very fickle beast. Below are my general experiences for vinyl specifically

  • Like New: This should be pretty much sealed, returned stock (like someone got the wrong record or just didn't want it). You might get shrink removed but you are likely to get a sealed record with minimal damage at worst
  • Very Good: This is where you start to get more variance - it's also a grade I generally feel safe with. I've gotten legit M/M type records, but I would probably expect some minor seam splits, some wear, really nothing that would bring it below VG on sleeve and VG+ on media in my view.
  • Good: This is the lowest grade I'll usually consider ordering unless it's an absolutely bonkers deal on Acceptable, a box set, or otherwise unavailable and I want it. I'd expect some creasing on the sleeve, potentially a disc warp, possible seam splits, take your pick. Make sure the discount is worth it for you as you're unlikely to get a pristine item.
  • Acceptable: Can pretty much be anything. I've received some insane stuff from this: also generally where the irreparable disc damage hangs out (huge warps most commonly)
Some other notes:

  • Box sets are increasingly my go-to. The discounts are substantial and generally if there's damage on a box set...it's on the box. Last time they had an x% drop I got the Almost Famous Super Deluxe for about $110 I think and the literal only issue is a small box dent. I know someone here bought the Queen box on a huge discount and no real notes. Before everyone got Garth for $15, it was $11 on Warehouse and the box is kind of borked but all records are clean. You get where I'm going with this.
  • I generally recommend comparing condition and if you're okay paying x more for the higher grade, doing it at least to get to Very Good especially if it's not a box set.
  • Returns are super easy so if it's not to your standard it shouldn't be an issue to bring it back, but the hassle to you is variable.
  • Third party sellers used returns also appear here - Discogs/Ebay check your prices for weird variants, I generally don't order from that situation, ymmv.
  • To hahaha's point, shipping is a crapshoot. I've gotten some in literal plastic bags, some in mailers, some in boxes. I generally think it's on how it comes back to them and shipping capacity. Know that going in.
  • Unless something is truly OOS (I've gotten Lorde's Melodrama Deluxe from this when it was Discogsing for 200+, Willy Wonka Gold, Ray Charles Genius Loves Company, OOS stuff pops up), I generally don't bother with warehouse than less for 20% off of new and other retailing options. Acceptable has to be a lot more for me to look. Make sure your discount is real.

Went through their warehouse deals, found a reissue of The Long Blondes debut and a couple Saga records super cheap, plus they have an additional 25% off for Prime Day, so got them all for a total of $25 shipped.

It's select items only, I used this filtering - it should sort high to low, vinyl only, with the 25% off only.

Also, I'll shut up about Warehouse afterwards, but there's also some decent hardware albeit only some of them have the 25% off, it's not all items

Cartridge wise are mostly entry level or just above entry level carts but

ATVM95C for under $30 (headshell combo at a bit over $40), AT-VM95E with Headshell at about $65, AT-ART9XA at $800 for those of you with a lot of money, There's also some tables, a couple not the Crosley/Victrola entry. The AT-LPW40WN in the lower 200s kind of stood out to me . You have to hunt a bit. So if you're looking to upgrade a really basic rig this is a decent opportunity.

I finally caved and ordered the Nevermind box set. I had a few credit card points to spend so the total was under $120.

The condition is listed as “Good” so I’m expecting cosmetic damage to the box. That’s fine with me, that box is ugly as hell anyways; what I’m looking forward to are the 4 live albums.

God only knows what condition anything you buy will be in but some solid deals maybe worth taking a risk on!

I got the Detroit Mix of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On for $30
Buck Owens (60th Anniversary Edition) (COKE CLEAR VINYL) $8 << there was at least a few of these still left.
Vincent Neil Emerson $11
Macabre - Carnival of Killers (Carnival Killing Spree Edition) $11
An American Werewolf in London 4K $17

Not too bad at that point but I started getting a little crazy and bought 2 random ornaments and a fucking turtle statue named Gilbert which finally lead too....
a OnePlus 9 Pro for just shy of $400 😬 Not sure if i'll keep it yet but i'm shutting things down now.

Looks like this deal is gone from everything I see when browsing Amazon now.

my link should be for just strictly the stuff in the sale but Amazon does do a weird thing I noticed where if you search a few times or tinker with too many adjustments it sometimes reverts back to the entire Amazon Warehouse database and then it's just a guessing game. Check and make sure at the top left just under where it says "Departments" that it says "Amazon Warehouse Prime Day Deals" as if it reverts to just saying "Amazon Warehouse" you need to start a fresh link again. Classic Amazon, I don't think there's been a single year I can recall where the search system wasn't altered in some way from the previous year.

Selection wise though this was by far the largest amount of stuff included in this sale in the last few years and when it started at Midnight I know there was well over 1k Vinyl and it's already down to 400ish.

Makes sense now. I think I was clicking prime day, which narrows to one album basically.

Thanks for the heads up this AM. Can't wait to see what shows up😄

Are you using mobile? it's even more tricky on there and harder to retrace steps.

Yeah, good luck to you and anyone else that bought from the warehouse because I know personally I just hope for the best but fully expect at least a little fuckery to be coming through my mailbox soon. I have drastically cut down buying from there Warehouse over the years but I will say the last two items were in great shape so i'm hoping that trend continues! It will def. be very interesting though seeing what everyone gets haha

I was on everything transitioning thru the day.
I think the app is better than the browser for the link you posted.


Everything is slated for Thursday delivery.
Might be a comical day when UPS man drives up.

Well thanks to this I fell down a Martin Denny rabbit hole. 😂

I hope yours arrives in better condition than mine! My Milt Jackson "very good" Prime Day deal arrived in a thin paper bag with no padding and no shrink wrap on the record, the jacket is absolutely thrashed :mad:. Inner sleeve is torn too. Miraculously the LP seems OK but I want to wet clean before playing it to be sure.

Amazon Warehouse returns are very easy if you want to go that way instead. I do it often when condition doesn’t play out
