I hereby declare this thread the official vinyl trading thread of BN!

I encourage everyone to post their vinyl needs, as I will keep them in mind next time I’m at my local record shop. I recall there being more copies of CILCIA (with gatefold and custom inner sleeve!) last time I was there.

Agreed! I'll keep an eye out when I go to the vinyl stores here....

Believe it or not, unless you have something incredibly rare, vinyl really doesn't fetch all that much.

On Ebay, every piece of Vinyl is worth millions

I can still remember my brother calling me in to listen to his "new" Buffett record Coconut Telegraph- It's what started it all for me!

Yep, eBay has become the exception to that rule. Unfortunately people are out there paying way too much for stuff they could find MUCH cheaper elsewhere. For instance I know there was a brand new blank cassette tape on there once (still in the plastic) that was already up to $50.

Some people will create false buzz for their item by having their friends bid it up...if nobody else wins, they don't hold them responsible.

My university's library has a copy of Before the Salt. Maybe I could "borrow" it.

I saw CILCIA, HD, Volcano, YHTBT, and Floridays today... unfortunately I doubt you're willing to come to Canada to get them. Do you already have Rancho Deluxe? I was very surprised to see it for $5 today.

Thanks, Don. I think it's a good idea. I'll leave it as a sticky for a while, seeing how much 'business' goes on, ok?

I've seen quite a few of these around at the store I go to. I could always pm you a phone number, I'm not sure I've they do deliveries or not. This place says they have 30000 different albums, quite a variety.

Does anybody here actually own an original printing of Down to Earth?

You're welcome, TJM.

I changed the title a little, too. Just so folks can understand what y'all are doing.

I was also in line for the promo copy of Elvis Imitator from another dealer for $.30 but someone bought the guys entier 10,000 45s in a package deal.

A sticky! This is awesome. I’m sure it will give many folks a good opportunity to be able to own the original LPs. Big thanks Penny!
