you buy to sell whether it be at venues from record shops from the net,and as an earlier post admits at one time you could take a box of records to fast turn over,
Not any more.as the cd takes over from the record to the normal attendee not all but one hell of a percentage,who want initial speed to listen and download for home use rather than own the vinyl.
So £5 and £10 records are now a no no as they are readily available and the £35 and above price range are for the collector or enthusiast who wants to be a player,
and there are as many dealers as there are buyers at some venues,
so to deal you have to have a customer no customer no deal
catch 22
no one wins
