Since we're posting discogs stats: Min- 3700 Med- 6550 Max- 12945 CD- 204 Vinyl- 261 Nearly everything is logged and I still feel guilty about how much space the records take up in the cabinet. Could probably stand to purge a few too. Also in disappointing news my preorder of Temples- Exotico is delayed. Apparently the blue sky vinyl came back from the pressing plant like poo poo with missing inserts and other bits according to the ATO Records email I got today. They sent a download code and the option to cancel if I want, but I'm still a little bummed.

Collection Value: Min $14,558.75 Med $27,073.33 Max $49,988.05 731 items, all vinyl. Still have probably 50 or so things in a bin waiting to get added as well. I'm out of storage space basically, so it'll be time for a purge over the summer more than likely.

Okay, why not: LPs: 862 12": 55 CDs: 547 Also chiming in to report: the maximum worth is bullshit; based only on the maximum price one person with far too much scratch paid. I have a VG+ copy of Rocket to Russia, but it's not worth the $999 someone spent on a copy three months ago. To me, some of these high-dollar sales sound more like a money-laundering schemes.

Sometimes it’s for an autographed copy or something like that, too. I don’t even trust Median. Mine is $5.8k/$13.8k/$39.8k. The only one I trust is the lowest.

Ha, no, it's a bunch of box sets and video game soundtracks that went out of print and people are way overspending on, with some rarer punk/ska stuff thrown in as well. I don't even have a single copy of whipped cream.

Come now, they may have other Herb in the collection give them a chance. Anyways I'd be shocked if I could get the minimum value; after the Queen CD sets and maybe the Triumph Allied Forces box set I've got such unpopular garbage that it'd be tough to find a buyer for, even in the video game sound tracks.

I probably have 500 records that might technically be worth $5-10 each but it would require finding people willing to buy them. In reality, I’d be looking at donating those or selling them in a big lot for $50 or something.

joylessdivision posted:I crossed 149 a week or two ago lol. So far I've found two of these https://a.co/d/aQ2TDA3 and two of these https://a.co/d/1Hy8ivT are pretty effective. Pulling all the double albums out of the cubes and into the trays also helped a lot. God that's expensive for crates and shelves. I use these extra long plastic crates my older sister bought from Kmart in the mid-late 90s  Those hold like, 100? Singles? Or 40-50 doubles/gatefold? I don't really know for sure, none of them are filled with just one or the other, one I counted that was about 60/40 doubles/singles came in at 60 titles. In an alternate configuration, they can hold about 70 singles (a few are doubles/gatefold) plus a murder of box sets, four Kates Bush, one Garth, one Rod Stewart  Yes they even hold dust! I have three of those, plus three regular black plastic crates that I think I also got from my sister, and one odd blue crate that's just the tiniest bit smaller than the black ones that holds all the Jack White stuff. Or used to anyway, that collection has now outgrown the crate. Those large crates were $6.97 when my sister bought them in 199X, which the government's inflation calculator tells me is equivalent to about $13 these days. These things are just plastic or whatever, don't overpay for them, these vultures jack up the price just because it's for ~records~ Also where did you get yr Boingos? Those are the only two I missed

Speaking of overpriced plastic, here's what $98 of movies and $104 of records looks like This came in yesterday but yesterday was a terrible day and no good came of it That Almost Famous set is incredible   And I refer you back to May 20 2021, 23 months ago— pwn posted:
Or wait until sporklift posts a deal  $38 for Almost Famous, $33 for Let it Be, and $28 for Wildflowers, which isn't a huge deal but still the cheapest option, plus a few bucks sales tax. Feels good man.If you need me, that's weird of you, but anyway i'll be listening to all 3.5 hours of this and being extremely happy I leave you with this: Never pay full price for dad rock represses. It's plastic and paper, they press them by the tens of thousands and once they've exhausted the Rich Nerd market they'll close them out to some ebay seller to get them the gently caress out of their warehouse. And inevitably some of those are bought by bottom-feeders who will try to flip them on discogs, and the circle of life continues

I could have sworn I saw something on the Rubellan website about reprinting some a bunch of the sold out Boingo records including Only A Lad but now I can't actually find where it said that so maybe I was just really high and imagined it. I just want a copy of OaL that's not going to cost me a got drat arm and a leg

So I missed the fact that the Violent Femmes RSD offering is a picture disc, so that's a big no go and I'll just pick up the regular version of that album sometime down the road. Now that just leaves the Dismemberment Plan release this Saturday. Otherwise I'm good since the Sparks offerings are just "RSD first" releases.

The worst thing about that eBay deal is now I have one of the twelve Depicted Mode singles box sets, and I want 6 more of them. They range from $250-$1,200 on eBay and Discogs. The cheap ones are the early records that I have no interest in. The collector in me may hate myself for getting this one.

I feel your pain. I made the mistake of getting films 3-8 of a 70s Japanese series dirt cheap from Arrow last month, only to find that their releases of 1 and 2 were OoP and each cost more than I paid for the other 5 combined. Soooo I guess I live without those for now.

I now have the Let It Be 5xLP and White album 4xLP from absurdly cheap sales, so I looked into what other Beatles box sets they've put out. There is practically no consistency to these things. Abbey Road sucks compared to the CD version, Sgt Pepper doesn't have a vinyl box - CD only. There is no consistency to the box designs (some have a side opening, some are a traditional vinyl box), or contents. It's like each box was designed by a different firm. Plus they're all like $200. The Revolver set looks very good. That would be the only one I would consider picking up if it hit a reasonable price. And the two I already have are great as well. It really seems like a missed opportunity for them to plan out elaborate 50th anniversary box set editions of all the major albums and have them all match.

I just went to Wilco's site and bought lots of good stuff, AM's deluxe edition, the red and blue colored Cruel Country, both of Loose Fur's records (Born Again in the USA and the s/t), Tweedy's Sukierae, Jeff Tweedy's Warm/Warmer records as a limited edition double album, and a handful of 7"s, and then I found a third party vendor and ordered the Summerteeth box set too because gently caress it

The discogs says I have logged over 1,300 records. I haven't cataloged my 45s because that seems like a huge pain in the rear end but there are hundreds of them. And there are probably a couple hundred more lps I need to put in but I'm kinda lazy about it. Min $14,519.61 Med $31,235.20 Max $70,163.00 I really only go by the Min/Med values.

I unfortunately own one picture disc. It's a Bathory record so it at least looks cool and it played fine the one time I played it but man I really would have preferred a regular version but gently caress me, apparently "Blood, Fire, Death" is only easily available on picture disc. The pain of trying to get back metal on vinyl and not spending a fortune

For fans of slowcore Numero Group just released Rex's "C" on vinyl for the first time: https://numerogroup.com/products/c-1?variant=42487687774406 They're not nearly as cold as Codeine or Bedhead or Duster if you haven't heard of em before. They're great.

I do my best to not come across as "Ugh, teenage girls!!!" (I was one myself, after all  ) but I just realized there's some Taylor Swift dropping for RSD and I am staying VERY, VERY far away.  Also, crumpled into dust a couple weeks ago at overhearing some kids browsing the punk section: "Ooh, do you know the band Hole?" "....What?" "You know, Courtney Love." "....." "....Kurt Cobain's wife?" "...Who?" "...The guy from Nirvana?!" "..Oh. Yeah, I think I've heard of them." I'm only 30.
