All depends on where you live. I never shop at Salvation Army, Good Will, garage sales or swap meets. 90% of the vinyl I buy, and I buy quite a bit of it, is new and sealed. When I do choose to buy used LP's, I visit a couple of stores which could hardly be called "out-of-the-ordinary" [whatever that means], where most of the records are in superb condition, are filed for easy browsing, and are fairly priced.

Depends on what you choose as your rig. Maybe you could tell the group about the personal experience you have living with high quality LP playback gear?

Again, this *greatly* depends on the gear you choose.

Yea, I know how those 8 seconds it takes to brush off a record can add up.

Sucks going record shopping, doesn't it? ;-)

Sheesh is right. Perhaps you should take a little more time to become aquatinted with the topic you're trying to discuss.

Best Wishes,
