RUSHandOSU Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I was wondering if you guys buy your vinyl in a specific place like amazon, ebay, or a local shop? Ive been buying off the net recently because the shops around here in cincinnati dont have any rush!! Is there maybe another site out there you can find em for a good price. anybody have any info on musicstack.com either? I stumbled upon their site and wondered if its reliable. Thanks guys!!

GangsterOnBoats Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Although when I lived back in New Jersey I went to Princeton Record Exchange (one of the world's most famous record shops) and some in Pennsylvania, I haven't been able to find any particularly good shops for vinyl near me in coastal Carolina. However, there is a 2nd and Charles store that is close by which sometimes has some good findings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordgt99 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Check Goodwill, flea markets, thrift stores and used book stores if you have any near you. The Atlanta area has a few good record stores that I went to in the past (Wax N Facts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of the 7 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I got a fair amount of mine at record/CD fairs. I bought one from a Facebook friend. Ones that have come out recently I've bought on Amazon or soundstagedirect.com . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFireYYZ Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I just bought a bunch of vinyl at a flea market on Sunday. They were all in perfect condition and only a couple of bucks each. I've tried Goodwill but they never have anything good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastille Dave Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 occasionally online, but mostly thrift stores and pawn shops and Craigslist. With yard sale season starting, I've already scored a bunch of killer vinyl. Our local record store recently stopped selling vinyl and started selling musical instruments and amps and such exclusively so that bums me out.

Perchance to Dream Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 There's a little shop that I go to called Meteor Music. 95% of their inventory are vinyl records. Just last week I scored an original pressing of High Tide and Green Grass by The Rolling Stones. I also bought Exit...Stage Left. Mint condition. I was quite pleased to say the least.

Silas Lang Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I'm lucky in that although I live in a relatively small town there's three stores here that sell vinyl - one of which carries new releases. It's amazing how easily I can find older albums still in the shrinkwrap or even sealed! So I'm always picking 1st pressings and imports in excellent shape. Plus there's a record convention that comes to town twice a year so I'm pretty happy camper. The only reason I might be tempted to buy online is finally pick up a few really rare records I've been looking for for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shail Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 why bother buying some vinyl records when they were recorded digitally. the vinyl record you listen to on your turn table is a digital product. i guess some buy it just to keep it in the wrapper and just look at it for artwork reasons.

D3strukt Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 QUOTE (shail @ May 18 2012, 08:51 AM) why bother buying some vinyl records when they were recorded digitally. the vinyl record you listen to on your turn table is a digital product. i guess some buy it just to keep it in the wrapper and just look at it for artwork reasons. My father has "Wish You Were Here" Remaster on Vinyl, and he LOVES it. "THIS IS HOW THIS ALBUM WAS SUPPOSED TO SOUND IN THE 70'S." Granted, I don't like it, because it is missing EVERYTHING that makes a vinyl, a vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
