Went a little nuts buying City Pop/AOR from a Discogs seller in Japan, but with a 30% discount for buying 10 or more records who can refuse?

TTL is legit, but thats a Universal Music reissue, unless it says TTL exclusive they don’t have anything that other stores don’t. Some quick googling shows it for $42 at Light in the Attic. Actually I just added the OG release to my want list last week I didn’t know it was getting a reissue.

I was so surprised to find this at Goodwill that I had to buy it even though it was scratched up and they marked it up to $6   It's also a German pressing, weirdly.

I use the Blu-ray.com app for managing my film and TV collection, is Discogs the way to go for vinyl then? I've had a few cases recently where I've been at a record shop and had to think hard whether or not I already own a copy of something.

I always feel like an rear end in a top hat pulling out my phone to check discogs in a shop, because I don't want to look like a flipper scumbag. My poo poo rear end memory pretty much necessitates it though, I've bought too many duplicate albums not to.

strap on revenge posted:does anyone here listen to Black Moth Super Rainbow, and if so, did anyone buy a copy of Start a People? I only just found out they pressed it earlier this year, it's sold out everywhere, and I'm sad about it. I have a spare copy of Dandelion Gum on pink vinyl and would be keen to do a swap if that interests someone in the thread who has it? I used to buy their releases back in the day but didn't see about this one coming out. When they re-released House of Apples and Eyeballs I was all over that. Let me know if you wanna part with that Dandelion Gum record.

I think it just comes with the territory. Unless you are trying to argue prices based on Discogs' "price", I don't think many shops would really care. My local shops know me, but generally if I am checking out other shops I'll say hi to the clerk and ask about a record I have on my wishlist. Sometimes it's just a basic answer, but sometimes they are very happy to chat and give a recommendation or two. They may even be more apt to round down prices just for being friendly. If folks are able to accurately remember everything they have once their collection starts getting up in numbers, congrats to them.

I have a collection in the hundreds, but have a great memory (for now!) and don't really need to check Discogs to remember what I have. BUT I often check it while at a record store to see if newer albums/pressings have any common issues (missing tracks, horrible sound quality, etc). I'm not an audiophile at all, but certain albums (the Target version of Tron Legacy, for example) are apparently just poor quality all around. Similarly, my partner has a copy of a The Sword album that is almost impossible to listen to over the popping noises, randomly getting quiet, etc.

If the shop is asking $10 more that the record is going for online I want to know. I think it's pretty obvious from the random stuff that I buy that I'm not a flipper

I'm going to be moving in a couple weeks and I'm wondering if there is a good recommended storage solution for moving about 100 or so records. I just need probably 2-3 decent size boxes but they need to be strong enough to hold them and big enough that they won't get damaged. Anybody have something that they've used?

I thought they had a cardboard box at Uhaul that fits records well. Might want to check. I think about the size of a milk carton, so fits about 50.

Yeah the "small" size uhaul boxes fit them perfectly. They're like $1.30/ea. Edit: wa27 posted:If anyone needs a cheap storage/moving solution, U-Haul's "small" boxes are the perfect size and cost a dollar. wa27 fucked around with this message at 22:59 on May 11, 2024 |

If you don’t mind them not being boxed, I’ve found the reusable shopping bags that are square shaped work very well for moving not insanely large amounts of records. Having handles combined with the overall size for them makes it much more manageable.

I still have old milk crates and just moved all mine in them. But I didn't have to store them and also had to wait for a non rainy day to schlep them over. Was still heavy to lift of course, that sucked.

Incredibly dank pickups from the record store before I went and saw AGGRODR1FT, which was silly as hell and I love it very much.  And if you get the UHaul boxes pick them up gently, those handles rip super easy.

I bought a few of these recently as I've run out of space on the shelves and needed somewhere to store my vinyl for now, other than on the floor. I'm not sure they quite fit 50 LPs per box but they still feel very solid once folded out and put together.

For my last move I made my own boxes, took stacks of records about 10" high and wrapped them in sheets of cardboard from larger boxes I had lying around. Worked well and they were easy enough to move around without jeopardizing my back.

Just spent $51 USD shipped to get this from the UK. Kinda considered getting the 2000 pressing since this release lowered the market price for it to a few dollars more than 51 but went with this in the end. One step closer to a full Isobel run on vinyl...

On Sunday I treated myself to some old jazz albums from my corner record store. This might be the worst portrait I've ever seen. The same day while I was walking the dog an old neighbor was giving out records on his porch, all in super pristine condition. Unfortunately it was mostly boomer music I had no desire to own, but I did find one I like  Free records taste better!
