Guest Spain pete Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 Stopped buying years ago , but if l come across something in a charity shop , rastro market etc , l would do them a favour .👅🎶🎶
Shinehead Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 Stopped buying years ago , I would rather buy cd,s or stream. The ones I have I never play and just hold on to for sentimental reasons and selling seems too much trouble . 2

Frankie Crocker Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 Probably fewer, but through no choice of my own. Just about everything is more expensive in recent years and there’s less up for sale in the USA. That said, the records bought in the past mean there’s fewer to be added to the collection so that’s a good thing. One day I might come to my senses and admit I’ll never get to own a copy of all the good Northern records out there... for the time being, I’m putting off that day. 3
Mellorful Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 Spending the same as previous years but because records have about doubled in price in 18 months then I end up buying half the number. That's an economics lesson for me. 1
Soul Shrews Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 I am buying more than the last few years from shops/record fairs as I am now 56 years old and making the most of that while I still physically can. Internet/Soul Source buying will carry on ! Cheers Paul 1
Mike Posted March 11, 2018 Author Posted March 11, 2018 looking like 'less vinyl ' is the trend so far
Soulfinger Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 I've bought more this year so far than I have in the last three. It's been driven by the impending reduction in income due to retirement! Can't quite seem to put the brakes on yet.... 1
Zoomsoulblue Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 I think I brought about 6 last year and they were mostly to replace American Motown blue with Black TMGs - deffo slowing up buying
Bbrich Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 theres a few on my wants list that just dont come up for sale so it they did then my 'spend' could be more than last few years, if not i will have to keep waiting on those (I'm desperate for this 'crash' with everyone selling off their collections which some have predicted!). Will continue to buy bits and pieces and will probably sell a similar number (if i can be bothered with the hassle) as i dont really want to increase the total quantity.
Spacehopper Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 about the same amount of money but less records,not just because of the increase in prices but my tastes are getting more expensive! 2
Ljblanken Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 spending more money on fewer items - actually want to reduce my collection but have better stuff in it (got a lot of deadweight that can be trimmed). 1
Guest themroc Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Commodificattion is a rock and a hard place to be, good luck.
Mike Posted March 18, 2018 Author Posted March 18, 2018 Quote Poll closes on 20/03/18 at 12:01 just a last couple of days kick!
Mal C Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 I’ve really ground to a holt on buying, I just won’t pay the prices anymore, prefer to hang onto my collection as is... if prices go down I might start again but I won’t throw my money away anymore... 3

Hey mate, I’m 48, I don’t know whether it’s an age thing, I’m too young to be one of those who are cashing in and looking to impending retirement, and I’m obviously not young and foolish as I used to be, aggressive and got to get em all... maybe it is age then... I’ve got enough records to have racks to naval gaze at... And as I’ve said I won’t pay these prices today Edited March 18, 2018 by Mal C
Mal C Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Actually I’d like to own a custom Lammy get a GP.... put all the records I haven’t got into a snazzy paint job :-) Edited March 18, 2018 by Mal C 2
