How's that whole petition to keep him in space going?
Which "asshat" would you prefer we give our money to? Name a retailer or media company that doesn't have an "asshat" at the top.

I know a few people who shopped there. One of my closest local friends, who is a long-time record collector, said their used/wall prices are insanely high. Another person I know said the owner was a rip-off buyer. So take those for what they are, anecdotes, but I don't feel that supporting overpriced shops does us all good, either.I'm not ignorant of the way commerce works.

I'm just advocating for the concept that in this 1st world hobby where we are spending $$ on pieces of colored polyvinyl chloride, pressed into discs and then marked with little grooves so we can drag a tiny piece of a gemstone through the groove to produce the sound - maybe you can afford to NOT go with the most obviously convenient method of purchasing those products in the commercial pipeline so that the money from this particular hobby doesn't line the pockets of someone who really doesn't need your fatass dirty dollar and to prevent it from ALSO being subsumed and maybe give that money, and just a little more, to a local store so shit like this stops happening:

Woah! Didn’t see this. Used to go there for RSD until I realized they were picking through the releases before letting people in, pretty shitty. But they’re one of the biggest in the state, if not the biggest. Always wondered how they afforded their rent, but their prices were pretty high compared to anything else (almost always above Discogs median on used stuff). Still, what a shame.
