I also know of an individual that buys lps purely for their resale value, and another who buys them purely as decoration for his office wall.

Some people may purchase an LP as a souvenir of a concert since ticket stubs are mostly a thing of the past. 

Given the choices on the $ range of tables offered to the GenZs' and the prices of current LPs', collecting albums does make sense...even if not to us.

I do have my clot of LPs' that get played upon occasion....although they serve as more of a memory trigger than as much else. *S*

On-line doesn't require anti-stat moves and all that...;)
