I refuse to pay the exorbitant prices for new reissues ($25-$35), aside from their being cut from digital files. Good to Excellent copies can often be found for around $10 or less!
My favorite hunting ground was the local Goodwill two miles from my house. LP's there were $1 apiece! Mostly rock and classical. Over the years I bought a thousand or so!
Not wanting to incur the wrath of Jason Bourne, but I'm not willing to commit to the program. Of used records that is. Some people don't mind a few pops and clicks when listening to vinyl. I hate it. When buying a new LP for my collection, I want pristine sound. To that end, it's really hard to beat Amazon. Fast delivery and no hassle free returns if the product is not perfect. I only have one very good TT and it only plays great vinyl. Don't get me wrong, as I have bought a lot of used LPs in the past. I've simply come to the conclusion, for me anyway, that life is to short, and the investment in my system is too large, to not be playing the best records available. And I don't think $25 is a lot to pay for something that will hive me years of enjoyment. IMHO.
