Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

I guess I’ll cross my fingers then, if it goes back up I’ll be sad, but then again $89 isn’t a horrible price for 3 months considering that’s around what I was paying for a monthly per record. Just would be a nice discount

Oh that was before the price hikes...Mine now says renewal will be $119 by the way. Which is highway robbery. So you should be ready to have your price pretty much double.

If they try to charge anywhere near $600 for the Herbie box they are even stupider than I think they are. I'm guessing $350-$400 plus member discount + early bird discount. Part of me wonders if it will even come out at this point or if they are really worried about pressing way too many copies of it.

Yeah I was being a bit hyperbolic there. But I would not put it past them to try to go $55 a record or more. If their 'Essentials', which are often color variants of widely available pressings, are worth $40 to them, what are limited exlusive AAA Herbie pressings worth?

TBH, outside of the grocery store, my local record store is the only place I frequent. I am happy they are back open. It offer me a bit of normalcy. I hope everyone else’s locals are able to safely open back up soon.

Mine shut down but it was a disgusting place anyway, everything was 4 bucks and I found some great stuff but they were just stacked in piles on the floor,or in old milk crates, sometimes cockroaches would scurry out when you picked up a stack to go through. No kind of organization whatsoever, name genre nothing. My wife made me take a shower every time I came home from there

That place sounds like a dream to me when all of my local used (and new) prices are considerably higher than discogs median. Assuming I could find something I want I guess.

It sounds like one of the places near me...THE THING. This is THE THING on a neat day. Every record is $2. Nothing is organized. This is maybe a quarter of the basement alone.

You'd think that...but...they still insisted up until recently that people love the surprise element of the Anthologies and 99% of people who bought them think it's annoying.

Paulie Alluded on Reddit to them being upfront about the releases and dumping the guess threads in the future but he's also dodging bullets from every angle so he may just be saying what he thinks people want to hear.

Is that in NY? Mine was very similar but much smaller. It was in a row house basement. everything was 4 bucks or 5 for 20. I would go once a week so my collection got big pretty fast. Never found anything in there past the 80's though.

Yep. Its in Greenpoint, BK and 2 blocks from where I live. It's a LOT of work to dig there. the splines aren't even all facing out. But they just buy huge collections and sell them all for $2. No matter what it is. I've gotten some sealed records in there like Let's Get Ready by Mystikal and a bunch of jazz/classic rock type stuff They also have tons of hip hop 12" singles. So much junk too though.

I don't have the patience for the THING. Who's your local? I'm a big fan of Record Grouch.

I don't blame ya haha. Academy is my local. Record Grouch is alright too but the one guy REALLY lives up to the name haha

And I really like the owner at Astoria Hi-Fi (I used to live near there) but they have always had pretty high prices.

I may have to hit that up one day . I'm sure I'll walk out with 50 bucks worth of stuff. In the summer we used to have a flea market here and the records were ten for a buck I'd bring 5 bucks and go nuts. for ten cents you just grabbed it and hoped for the best there really wasn't enough time to open them up and inspect Everyone would just grab stuff.
 
I could be way off here, but i feel like they are going to drop a a ROTM people want or bring back something thats been on the radar a long time that people have been wanting and this is going to be the "test".

I know this is HIGHLY unlikely, but what would people do if Noname or Saba came into swaps or was announced for swaps only this month or next? I'm with the other member regarding the new swap prices. Most things ive swapped for have been in the mid $20 range. I couldnt justify $33 going forward. I could do a single track for $25 month over 12 months, but i dont want to commit to that. They arent reliable enough.
