Is this a sign of demand dropping? I know my annual spend on vinyl is WAY down.

I think what you've got happening lately is that pressing capacity has drastically increased in relatively short order, and labels are going for it in terms of quantities, variants, etc. I don't know if demand is dropping, but supply is in a much different spot than 3 years ago, so you've got a fair amount of surplus stock. It's certainly been interesting where if you wait 6-8 months on a title, you can often have it for sub $20.

Similar to prepandemic and price hikes. You could wait and get things for sub $12 or Beatles Mono Box sets for $80.

I THINK my spending is down, feel like I haven't been buying much in my wait for the fall sales. Plus I've sold a few which helps. Also, feel like a lot of the older titles I now have, so not buying quite as many of them. Trying to really just fine tune the collection at this point. Guessing a lot of people started in 5 or so years ago and are getting to the same point.

Yea--I have cut back a good amount on buying actually too. Partially because I've been super busy with work. And partially because I just have a large amount of what I want and am out of shelf space. I'm buying some used/OG copies of stuff and upgrading some albums here and there. Way less new music for me on vinyl.

Places upping their free shipping minimums too has made me buy less.

Yeah, nowadays I only go if I’m grabbing something specific. Not much in the wild these days that spark excitement, especially because things are now appropriately priced based on their value

Yeah, finding used records for $2 less or the same price right next to the new copy is a little insane. There are a couple stores in my area that the prices are just crazy. I used to drop in occasionally to those when in the area, but just a huge waste of time now.
