George the Cat , Nov 19, Aftermath and WHMusical like this. Location: North West England. The whole record buying business is a shambles.
The record companies always ripped off the public. When vinyl was replaced by CDs the production costs fell dramatically, but the record companies hiked up the prices instead of reducing them. I do buy second-hand vinyl from the fifties and sixties or a bit later occasionally for one or other of my two jukeboxes. I have found Discogs a bit cheaper than eBay.

Even digitally sourced versions. You would be pretty daft to overpay on used U2 for instance as the latest remasters stack up against the originals well and it's not 'audiophile' sound.
However something like DSOTM hasn't had a really great reissue apart from the 30th Anniversary edition, though only the earliest pressings are really worth a decent amount of money if you can find a nr mint copy. It can be almost impossible to find clean copies now of some titles but it was always difficult.
However you can't now buy a few cheap copies and pick out a good one. Most sellers don't have a clue about grading unfortunately. With discogs it puzzles me that the median and max historical selling prices are usually less than current copies being listed. Are many people actually buying these other than true collectables and rarities? The majority of used records I've bought of late resulted in me returning or getting a refund, no questions asked you are better buying on ebay in this case.
My experience of selling really top condition records is that mostly they don't move quickly and take multiple re-listings on Ebay. Also have to drop prices well below what Discogs suggests. It's also good if you are hunting a particular pressing of maybe not so in demand titles. Classicrock , Nov 19, Location: Katy, TX.
