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

Yeah thats nuts. Even when I lived in NYC (which I thankfully left earlier this year), my total tax would reach around 10% area which was super high for here.

23% I'd be analyzing every purchase alot more closely (which wouldnt be a bad thing, but thats not the reason I'd want to cut back).

You kind of don’t. It’s an across the board thing so it’s just included in the price. Websites and shops wouldn’t advertise the pre VAT price so that is just your price for that in your country and if you can afford and justify it you do and if you can’t you don’t. It certainly means you can afford less with the same money but that’s just you doing your budgeting, the VAT rate generally doesn’t enter your thoughts.
 
lol just purchased Night at the Opera on their new site! Here's hoping they don't cancel that. Sad I missed out. If it's available in swaps later, I'll just cancel and swap for it!
Blossom Dearie is on there too, thought a few people wanted that. And Davis/Coltrane. And Buddy Guy.

Fair, I guess its all relative. Like I said, I pay more tax than most since I'm in NY but dont really factor it into purchasing too much since Im used to it.
Main downside is it prevents me from picking up at my real locals too often. On things like RSD, I'd pay significantly more at a local indie than if I waited to try and grab from an online store later on that doesnt charge tax (or have a typical New York markup on everything).
 
Where are y'all seeing these?

 
Useability is not great. Search for Apple provides nothing, but Fiona does. Can reorder the page alphabetically but it's by album name, not artist.
