Inflation On Records All Over

you so right Fb you so right man , i just bought some records afeew months ago off this old lady;s daughter and she didnt want to sell them to me for 60 bucks and she told me she was going to sell them to another person to find out she makes vases out of them i ended up payin 100 bucks but it was worht it tho caus ei got some classics in there.

its rediculous, even at garage sales with things htat noone would want, there asking top dollar

yeah I hear everybody its a girl I work with who's brother in law has a collection from his dad and uncle. Over 2000+ peies in this collection. At 1st I was going to get them for free, but then they started talking about how kanye sampled this and that, so know they want a grip. I'm willing to pay, but not rediculous price since at 1st they were supposed to be free.

just got to linger make them your friend take them out to eat buy them sodas and dont talk about it then when he says he what kind of music you like you say OH everything i've really been taken up jazz you have any jazzrecords i like the way the sound and go for the kill then,


as far as garage sale uppin prices i dont thnk people even know that they still sell them , people always ask me when i buy them you can still buy records,?after i had bought them i say yeah and they cost alot and leave

yeah when someone asks me what im looking for i just say what ever i can get my hands on

I notcied if you sound desperate they will try to take advantage...

The rise in price in stores is because one of the biggest pressing houses in the states has closed recently.

Out here, vinyl (and deals) are getting harder to come up on. On the flip though, certain records that used to go for a lot like 10 years ago (espeically sampled and reissued records like early Kool and the Gang and Meters) are really cheap now. I think the situation here is we have more people than ever going record digging, and about the same amount (or less) of GOOD records going into the shops. Also, out here a lot of the cats in charge of buying records in these shops are savvy diggers or collectors that will make sure the real heat will never hit the store racks. Ultimately these prices (which are always in flux) are dicated by everyday digger's who are always finding new unsampled records-- these records eventually become known (through EBAY, and internet digging sites) and highly valuable to sellers. Some that come to mind are those private joints like Bobby Brown and Space Ark which I noticed shot up in price in the last few years, no doubt as a result of thier desirability among record diggers.

it been that why for use for ever with imports, thats why i only buy domestic, to help out the US economy and to keep artist here to record.

they seem to find it better to record and sell over seas, partly because the music is appreciated over there, than here.

This store that I usually go to has most of their stuff priced at $2.99 or $3.99. They can go up to $9.99 depending on what it is. Some higher. But those are the real rare ones or whatever. I'm not complaining about that. I think it's reasonable.

And then they have this big section that's 5 for a $1.99. By 10 get 10 free. I've found some good shit in there.
