Source Poll: Vinyl Buying? State Of Affairs in 2016

[Mike]

This time around gone for a vinyl related poll

All about vinyl purchases in 2016 compared with last year

Compared to 2015, so far in 2016 vinyl records wise, are you buying....

could be an interesting poll and as always feel free to expand the talk with comments below...

 

 

 

[ajb]

about the same, AKA to much! especially if the mrs knew 

[Bbrich]

Less records but I've spent more. No particular plan just that i managed to get a few of the bigger wants.

[Soul16]

About the same in quantity, but I've probably spent more on them. I only buy old vinyl, not really interested in new vinyl.

[Soul Shrews]

About the same for me, which means not enough !!

Cheers Paul

[Frankie Crocker]

Probably fewer on trips to the US and fewer on eBay. There are fewer rare records in nice shape coming to market and the competition for them has hotted up.  Becoming more interested in quality rather than quantity as I have too many records already and would prefer to buy one great, sound rather than half a dozen cheapies of lesser quality.

[Stubbsy]

Probably about the same 

[davidwapples]

Less but it is due to the death of John powney who I regularly bought from every month . I will  increase buying though when I find another good friendly reliable seller

[Girdwoodinc]

Probably more but I've been selling quite a few this year and I tend to go for lesser known stuff which is usually cheaper

[Spacehopper]

probably less....more expensive records though and ive sold a lot to pay for them too

despite what the media tells us I still havnt had a pay rise!!

im djing a lot less but still going out every weekend so cant keep em all if there not being played much

[Ian Stacey]

Quite a bit more  this year  

[Geeselad]

bout the same in quantity, more is cash, but selling more recently, just run of the mill stuff on ogs  stopped buying us garage from the 8ts and 9ts, started buy more funk and soul  and r and b again.

[Headsy]

Still buying the odd cheap ones but actually selling less on purpose as more cheap tunes from last ten years or so are now selling for 2,3 or 4 times what they should be so figure sell them in year or two when prices go higher

[Mike]
