For those of you who buy/sell/trade #vinyl and/or #cassettes what sites do you like to use? Or do you rely more on local shops?

Time to thin the herds so I can make room for other albums. But it seems like such a time suck to sell one at a time or even small lots online. #music #tapes

@everyday_light local shops.
All day every day.

Their survival relies on people bringing stuff in.
The good ones, anyway.

@TheVinylApe true that. sad that the good ones are fewer and fewer. I was in a big record shop in a big city a while back and was kinda shocked at a) how many new records were in their inventory (easily 1/3); and b) how expensive they were. Stuff that I wouldn’t have shelled out more than $10 for would cost upwards of $40 as a new pressing.

@everyday_light way of the world now, my friend.

That’s why it’s key to find a great place with a lot of USED stock.

Those places are rare, but I’m very lucky in that regard.

Well I’m a dork. Had no idea #recordstoreday was April 18, and an old fantastic #vinyl shop reopened in town on Saturday. And now this dork is going to spend copious hours sifting through their stuff this week, which puts it off to about a good a start as any.

Thanks @TheVinylApe for mentioning RSD!
